Twelve Days of Kindle ebook sale now on

Here, I won't be buying any. Well, ok I've already bought one, when I went to put this link up, but no more! I do not have book problem, I can just look and not buy, I can give them up any time I want to. In fact, I'll tell you what, I won't even go back to Amazon until the 12 day sale is over, that's how easy I find it not to buy books.

Also Life of Pi is now 20p. I won't be buying that because I have a hard copy. Which proves I'm not a bookaholic because a hard-core addict would buy an ebook bargain even if she already has the book.

Damn you bran.
I was avoiding amazon to break my book habit. Now I've had to buy life of pi.

And it's all your fault Wink

MonaLotte · 28/12/2012 13:01

The Life of Pi is brilliant! I read it when it first came out a few years ago. It's one of may favourite books ever!

TaggieCrimbleBlack · 28/12/2012 13:02

Oh dear........

JingleJohnsJulie · 28/12/2012 13:54

Have never read The Life of Pi, might just have to have a look. Wish me luck!

GambasAndCava · 28/12/2012 15:26

Its Ok to buy 20p ebooks, cos its only 20p and they don't create any clutter even if you already have hundreds of unread books on your kindle [hopeful]

JingleJohnsJulie · 28/12/2012 16:32

That's alright then Gambas Xmas Grin

Festivedidi · 28/12/2012 16:39

I've bought a few as well. I never would heve been on Amazon if it wasn't for this thread Xmas Angry

JingleJohnsJulie · 28/12/2012 16:44

I've just bought a Montalbano trilogy for £1.69. I blame it on BRAN!

LIZS · 28/12/2012 16:56

just got Life of Pi as had lent my paperback out. Also got The Expats

JingleJohnsJulie · 28/12/2012 19:28

I'm going to have to get the Life of Pi now aren't I!

JumpingJackSprat · 28/12/2012 20:02

i got a £10 amazon voucher for christmas so thought "well now i can get all the books i want because its basically free money." that voucher lasted approximately 5 minutes. on the plus side ive got loads of new 20p and 99p books (which i will probably never get round to reading). shopping for kindle books is more fun than actually reading them i think Grin

I've spent a fortune so far but looking at it logically it'll save me money in the long term as I won't need to buy books fir a while
