March Reading Madness.....

Every month I budged carefully put aside a small number of pennies to purchase books..... I also have a tendency to troll the interwebs looking for freebies .... as a result of which I now have 92 books currently sitting on my Kindle which have not been read.

These books are a mixture of books I've bought, chosen myself as freebies from either Amazon or the publishers site, or won in a give-away... but for some reason I have just not got round to reading them before buying more books which in my mind are newer and shinier... (I am sure they aren't really!)

So, in an effort to reduce this number I am decreeing that next month shall be......

The March Madness Book Reduction Month

In which:

1. I will not buy any new e-books (this starts from 27th Feb which is when I get paid and would usually go book shopping) - with the exception of what ever is picked for me as my March "pick it for me" challenge book in the M/M group.

2. I will allow myself to re-read up to five books from my Kindle archive

3. I will be allowed to download books that are free on Amazon or which I win in giveaways.  I will not go hunting for books to download for free on other sites when I can't decide which book to read next.

4. I will try and organise my GR bookshelves a little more accurately - including creating a favourites file.

5. If I am struggling to chose the next book to read I will ask for someone to pick for me from the "lurking-in-Kindleland" shelf I've created


Right, I need to find my willpower to do this..... and turn off the "one-click" button on Amazon....... for some reason I can see my knitting productivity increasing substantially with this challenge........

(betting on how long I last before I give in and buy something is allowed...)
