Book Buying Ban Challenge: UPDATE!

Hey Everyone,

As you all know I have been taking part in a book buying ban with the awesome Haley from Ya-Aholic and Braiden from Book Probe. The ban started on October 1st and is still continuing now until November 31st. 

I just wanted to update you and show you the progress I’ve done

Firstly, I have NOT bought myself any books. Yay for me! I have bought books for other people but I don’t think that counts. ;) I also know Haley and Braiden have been doing very well. I’ve had a few conversations with Haley and we’ve both kind of felt like we’ve had our moments of were we’ve wanted to buy books but then it’s passed and honestly, we agree were not too bothered about not buying books. So I’m pretty pleased with how things are going at the moment.

Secondly, I had to buy a new car the other day and let’s just say before Christmas, it definitely wasn’t in the plan. So because the ban isn’t really bothering me and now with paying for a new car, I’m planning on extending the book buying ban for myself until Christmas. So I’ve added on an extra TWENTY FIVE DAYS!! ;) I would do it until the New Year but I know I’ll be getting a bit of Christmas money so of course….I want books.

And finally, I’m going to show you what books I’ve read so far:

The Fever Series:


Luckily I managed to get Darkfever & Bloodfever for review so I read the rest of the series. I have to say, the series started off pretty slow but it sure did make up for it in the end, I loved them!

Check out my reviews:

Silence (Hush, Hush #3) 



Yes! I read it and I loved it. I wasn't even planning on reading this but I couldn't help myself and then meeting Becca at her Birmingham signing was great!

Check out my review: 

Sooooo....I know I haven't read as many of my own books as I've planned but I'm pretty happy with what I've done. The Fever Series was a major one for me and I'm glad I've finally got to read them.

Book Buying Ban Challenge

Hey Everyone,

As you all know I will be taking part in a book buying ban with the lovely Haley from Ya-Aholic and Braiden from Book Probe. The ban will be through-out October AND November. I know right? 2 whole months! 

The main reason for our ban is because come on....being honest...we totally OVER SPEND on books.  We just can't help ourselves! We love buying books, it's our passion and only vice but with the holidays coming up and of course our never ending to be read lists, it's time to do something about it. Hence...the two month book ban. I'm sure we can do it. Me personally, if I can make it 2 months, I ideally would like to extend it until Christmas but we'll see how that goes. ;) 

Here are some of the books I would like to try and read during the two months ban: 


Of course, I will be keeping you all updated along the way. A post at least every one to two weeks depending on what books I've read. And thank you for all your support so far! You all rock! Wish us all luck!
