Moray_Reads How is your #NoNoNovember going? Still going strong (8 days in!) 7y

LeahBergen @Moray_Reads So far, so good - but I can‘t be too smug. I have a few orders from last month that I‘m still waiting on and they give me something to look forward to. 😆 7y

Moray_Reads @LeahBergen I had a shock when a parcel arrived for me at work today, I started to think it's ordered something in my sleep! It turned out to be a copy of a book that I helped find some primary sources for. Unfortunately it's in German but it's a lovely thing and gifts don't count. Phew! 7y

LeahBergen @Moray_Reads Sleep-ordering may be a real danger for us if we deny ourselves for TOO long, right? We better play it safe and stick to just the one month ban. 😉 Oh, and gifts NEVER count. 7y

Moray_Reads @LeahBergen I've done it before. I once wrote up to an Amazon confirmation of a book I ordered at 3am. I mean I THOUGHT about it earlier but I was definitely asleep at that time 7y

LeahBergen @Moray_Reads Nooo! That‘s the best! 😂😂 7y

Every Last Lie | Mary Kubica

Sadly I️ do not have room on my TBR shelves for one more book and I️ refuse to start another TBR shelf. So a book buying ban is really in effect this time! 🙅🏼‍♀️ #sundayshelfie #bountiful #somanybookssolittletime #blameitonlitsy

Cinfhen She can store them by your house @Reviewsbylola 😉 7y

Mdargusch I️ going to be feverishly reading @Reviewsbylola and @Cinfhen to make room! 7y

Mdargusch Thanks @Tamra because my resolve has crumbled many times. 7y

Reviewsbylola Finishing LD will give you space for three more books! 7y

Mdargusch Good point @Reviewsbylola but that‘s a month away. I️ guess just in time for swap books. 7y

LeahBergen I'm on a book ban for this month, too. I'm calling it #NoNoNovember. I'm hoping to hold out for longer than a week. 😆 7y

Libby1 I‘m in the same boat. And it‘s sinking... 7y

Mdargusch Yes! @LeahBergen and @Libby1 - misery loves company! 🤩🤩🤩 7y

emilyhaldi I see plenty of room to squeeze more in there 😂😂 7y

Mdargusch I️ don‘t have any other place for the plants 🤷🏼‍♀️ @emilyhaldi 7y

Minimalist : How To Prepare & Control Your Minimalist Budget In 30 Days Or Less & Get More Money Out Of Life Now | Scott Green

A few weeks ago I started to feel overwhelmed by my TBR. Most of the shelves in my house contain UNREAD books. And they're overflowing. (Thanks #litfluence!) That's before I count my digital shelves.

So the book buying ban begins. I'm going minimal! And I decide to make a graphic to keep track in minimalism style. Wish me luck!

readordierachel Good luck! I need to do this too. 7y

Ms_T I know exactly what you mean. I‘m also feeling overwhelmed right now 😕 7y

Booksnchill Awesome idea! 7y

Cinfhen You purchased 35 books last month?!?! 7y

Cinfhen Love this idea!!! I will be following your progress and hopefully following I'm your approach 🙌🏻💕 7y

Kaye Don‘t blame you a bit. There might be others in here that would want to join you in this. I can‘t stand lots of clutter myself so try to keep the books put away and I usually give them away once done with them. 7y

SkeletonKey I need to do this as well 😖 7y

2BR02B While I know I should be following your example (I bought around 40 physical books last month, and around 15 ebooks) I can't bring myself to commit to a book buying ban. My reasoning is that I have relatively few vices, with impulse book buying being the most pronounced. If I quit, who can say what would fill the void? I'd be liable to take up bath salts, or armed robbery instead. 7y

alysonimagines @BarbaraTheBibliophage I can definitely relate to an overwhelming TBR pile! Mine is all digital now, which makes it easier to tuck out of sight but also more dangerous. @2BR02B I know what you mean about vices. I feel like ebook buying is one of my few compulsive addictions and is relatively harmless to myself or others. Also since I am a library orphan, I really depend on those ebook bargains to maintain my reading habit! 7y

BarbaraBB I like the idea. One day I‘ll follow you, but not yet... not yet... 😂 7y

GlassAsDiamonds I should do this as well.... 7y

LeahBergen I've already put myself on a book- buying ban this month, too. I'm calling it #NoNoNovember 😂 I will probably fail this week! 7y

MaureenMc Good luck! 👏 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @2BR02B I like the way you think! 😂 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @ReadOrDieRachel Thanks. A lot of us do! #enablers 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Ms_T I‘m glad I‘m not alone! 7y

Simona I wish you luck 🤞 This is my goal for the next year ... 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I was shocked when I added it up! The Book Outlet sale and also a lot of cheap ebooks are my excuse. It doesn‘t even count what I bought with the gift certificate from @MicheleinPhilly. I feel like it‘s an obsession. Not so fun! 😜 7y

HelloImJez Good luck! 🤞💕 I need to do the same, I have a whole shelf dedicated to unread books! 7y

Lreads Good luck! I know I have a lot of unread books but I'm not good with numbers so I don't count. 🙃 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Kaye I give most of my books away once I‘m finished too. I know lots of us try to stop buying. My math just doesn‘t add up - I read 10 books a month and buy 30? No bueno for my stress level. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @2BR02B I love your logic. In the likely event I fail at this, may I borrow it? 😜 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @alysonwrites I hear ya! I was all digital until about 18 mos ago. Then I realized that bargain physical books are often cheaper. They just fill up so much SPACE. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen I‘ll use that hashtag too (it‘s perfect!) and we can goad each other on ... to the ban, not the buying! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jezjezaw I‘d like to get mine down to just one shelf again!! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @ReadsWithTea I wasn‘t counting, until I did. Oooffff. 7y

blondie I need to do this too. My shelves are overwhelming me. I'd love to narrow my books down to one shelf again. But i keep buying. Ugh. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @blondie The overwhelm is taking the fun out of searching for the best books at best deals. 🙁 7y

rabbitprincess I'm skipping my favourite used book sale this year because I acquired about 40 books over the past two months 😁 Hoping to avoid buying books until after Christmas. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @rabbitprincess Stay strong, my friend! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y

MicheleinPhilly HAHA! Good luck! 7y

Captivatedbybooks Shiiiiii lol good luck mama better you than me 😉 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Captivatedbybooks Daaaammmm. You made me laugh. Thanks. This'll be rough. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @MicheleinPhilly Yeah, with this whole group of enablers I'll last about a week. Maybe. 😜❤️ 7y

Cinfhen Brilliant hashtag @LeahBergen but @2BR02B makes a really good point!!!! 7y

LeahBergen @Cinfhen Yeah, who am I trying to fool? I have about 15 books on order (from October) that will trickle in over the month. I'll snap as soon as I see a hot shiny book for cheap though. 😂 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen @Cinfhen I really have to last, but I have serious doubts about my abilities to do so. But I'll be happy if I can cut way way way back. 35 a month is ridiculous! If I make it past the release date of Donna Brazil's' book about the 2016 election (due 11/7), I'll be happy. At least I'm engaging my mind constructively. 7y

Cinfhen #realisticgoals I'm all for that! 7y

DivineDiana I‘m with you! Resisting as much as is humanly possible. 😬 ( Unless, I move in to a very large house that has a room for a Library like The Beast in Beauty and the 😉) 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @DivineDiana Like your emoji, I am gritting my teeth and still resisting. As long as I have my tiny townhouse, and no new Prince to take me away ... 7y

DivineDiana @BarbaraTheBibliophage 😀 7y
