A year of no book buying. Anyone care to join me?

I've had a dummy run, starting at the beginning of the school year in September, just so it didn't seem too daunting! But so far I'm embracing it. I buy a lot of books generally and just thought we'd got so many in the house. I do read the vast majority of what I buy, but I do have books I haven't read, and my husband and teenage kids have some great books I would love to read.
So over the past 3 months I have definitely decreased my bedside pile. I am currently reading A Christmas Carol which dh reads every December but I never have. It's quite a joy to browse our book cases and spot things I haven't read and think this is the year I'll get round to it! Or to reread old favourites.
And I've just been made redundant so tightening the book buying belt is even more important.

Anyone fancy giving it a go?

I don’t think this is for me author visit at work today where I managed to not buy any books... only to end up in Asda and buying two after work because my high from talking about books made me need some

haha. I made it through three charity shops yesterday without succumbing to temptation. Feeling smug.

I think I’m just giving in and admitting I have an addiction but will still try to avoid when I can
