On January 21st I committed myself to a six month book buying freeze.
The first couple months were a breeze.
At the beginning of the third month I noticed my Amazon wish list had grown exponentially. Not to mention that I was checking out books like crazy from three different libraries.
(Confession: There was a day that I returned 23 books to one library. Unfortunately, my father was with me and still brings it up in conversations with other people!)
And in the last week, I've been fighting the urge to by bookssssssss.
But no, I will still use the library! I can do this... I think.
In the next three months I am going to be a better patron that does NOT binge on checking out books. No more than 2 more at a time... but just let me get through the books I currently have first.
But when July 21, 2015 finally rolls around I do have a list of books I will responsibly and gradually purchase. Today I'm sharing the first 8 with you. Half of the books are Inspirational Non-Fiction reads that I can't wait to highlight and shout "AMEN!" to. The other half are WWII novels that I either can't find at the library or have been checked out by 214 other people.
Here they are in no particular order:
1. The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure
2. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
3. GI Brides Collection by Grace Livingston Hill
4. My Family for the War by Anne C. Voorhoeve
5. Savor Devotional by Shauna Niequist
6. Writing in the Margins by Lisa Nichols Hickman
7. Restless by Jennie Allen
8. The Fringe Hours by Jessica N. Turner
What would you recommend I add to my list?
Your Booknerd,

P.S. Amazon gift cards are the best gift to your book loving friends and family!! Especially those stupid enough to go on a book buying freeze. Just saying.
