You don't have a schedule, you don't have a job, you don't have obligations, but you create a more constraining situation than if you had a job and a boss.

Self-imposed Book-Buying-Ban Accountability Thread

Alright, people. Lately… I’ve kind of started to buy new books as a coping mechanism, I feel? And while I don’t buy outside of my budget and there is nothing wrong with buying books as long as they bring you happiness… for me lately it felt more about the quick rush of joy I got from buying one than about the lasting, more wholesome joy of owning one and actually being excited to read it. 

And since at this point I have accumulated several incredible books that I really want to get to… I’ve decided to put myself on a book-buying ban for the rest of the month, so at least until May 1 (if not beyond). 

It will be hard. I will post updates on here. And if I fail, slap me please. 

No, but seriously. You have my written consent to publicly shame me if I don’t manage to go until the rest of the month without buying a new book. 

This excludes gifts for others and books I need for my course, but those are the only exceptions! Getting new books from the library is alright (as they don’t cost me anything). 

The ban starts… now!

Which of these books should I buy?

So three books I’d really like to read but don’t own yet are: 

- Radio Silence (Alice Oseman) - The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Michelle Rod) - Don’t Look Back (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

Any opinions on which one of these I should or shouldn’t buy? :)

game plan for tomorrow if the steroids actually do anything for me: priority one is mail stickers, cuz it's the 5th. priority two is take a bath, cuz arin is in rotations and doesn't have time to draw a bath for me anymore. priority three is dust the apartment. maybe clean the robot vacuum and put away dishes, but that's the cap. I've gotta limit myself in case I get zoomy cuz overdoing it still isn't a good idea. if I get all that done I'll play piano or something.
