calypte is trying harder!
read all the books I own but haven't read (read all 2 entries…)
Anti-negative progress! — 10 months ago
I read a lot. Every day. Oodles. And yet there was very little progress ever going to happen with this goal because faster than I could read ‘em, I was buying more books! Ooh – buying books is so much fun :)
Ahem. Anyway. Not that long ago I was on Amazon, spending some vouchers I’d earned writing book reviews. Only, I managed to find that one of the books I wanted was in WHSmith’s 3-for-2 offer, with free delivery to the store, which made it cheaper.
WAIT! £5.23 in cold hard cash is NOT cheaper than free with vouchers!
So, new resolution: I’m trying hard not to spend real money on any more books, not when I have about 5 years worth of reading on my shelves! It’s… challenging. But I’m trying to appreciate watching my unread total drift down, rather than the shelves filling up!
