Each time I go to the library w/ my kids (about every two weeks), I get lost in the used book sale corner, and I almost always walk away with at least one book. (It's only a quarter!!!!!) <br /><br />Well, good for you that you were able to restrain yourself. We need to practice restraint every so often in different areas of life.

I can't focus, I get unhappy, my environment really affects me whether it's good or bad.<br /><br />I haven't 'properly' checked out the #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks project yet, but I've seen a few people mention it recently so I must take a look. I'm trying not to use the library as much this year - mostly because once I start I just keep getting books out and ignoring my own, as well as because my dicky hip means walking to the library isn't so comfortable at the moment - and I don't want to buy so many books. I have a few preorders to wait for, but when it comes to actually being out and about and just making impulse purchases, I'd really like to rein myself in. The ones I pick up from charity shops willy-nilly sometimes end up going back unread, I pick them up because they're cheap rather than because I really think I'll enjoy them, it's such a waste of money and time. Must do better this year!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
