5 painless ways to survive a book buying ban
Yes you read it write
I’m talking about book buying bans today. Last month I bought way to many books
and I thought that it was time to limit it a little bit. Since I am not the
only person out there that wants to go on a book buying ban I thought would
share some tips to survive one! Because let’s be honest it can be hard.. very
hard to survive one.
1. Avoid bookstores!
Don't step inside a bookstore. Or a charity store.
Even if someone is standing at the door and telling you they'll feed you
chocolate cake if you buy a book don't do it. YOU ARE STRONGER THAN THIS.
2. Get scared
Make a list of all the unread books on your shelf.
It will terrify you into not buying any more books for a while. Believe me it
can really scare you when you realize how many books you have on your TBR.
3. Get excited about all the books you do have and make an effort to read them in this dark, dark time of your life
LOOK
AT ALL THE WONDERFUL BOOKS ON YOUR SHELF THAT YOU DO HAVE. All
the adventures waiting for you, all the characters waiting for you to fall in
love with them. READ THEM! Or take pictures of them. Just do something with
them.
4. distract yourself from this dark time in your life
Go
organize your bookshelf! Distract yourself from buying new books and look at
what you already have. And let’s be real there is just something satisfying
about organizing your bookshelves.
5. Talk with other people that are on a
book buying ban
Keep each other motivated and share those tears! We
are stronger when we stand together! (
this sounded so much better in my head).
