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!
