Anyone who knows me, or follows this blog knows for sure that I have more than enough to read. I’ll never run out of great reading material.
However, like most bookworms, bookbloggers, and all other book obsessed people, I cannot seem to stop purchasing more books. It is a sickness. Also… I cannot resist a bargain. I use the excuse that Ebooks don’t take up any physical space. LOL
In December of 2019 I purchased FOURTEEN new ebooks from Amazon.ca
The total of my expenditure for these 14 novels was $ 14.23 Cdn. If you do the math and average out the price, that works out to be about $ 1.02 each !!! BARGAIN!
I’ve linked the covers to Goodreads so that you can read all about the book if it seems like it might appeal to you.
Don’t be mislead into thinking that FREE Kindle books are not great reads. Remember, they often put first of series on sale at bargain prices (or free) to introduce readers to the series. Also, sometimes the publisher just wants to ‘push’ a certain author. Check out the Kindle deals available to you in your region. And no… I am NOT affiliated with Amazon in any way.
If I dropped everything else in my life and spent every waking moment reading, I still couldn’t get through every book I want to read before I died of old age. And that’s not even considering all the new titles that continue to come to my attention every day…
I say the same thing all the time Lynne. Too many books to read, not enough time to read them. Enjoy all your new additions when you get to them.

Ohhh looks like I’m adding more to my list too! That’s okay. I like what you said about having a book cushion. It does feel good knowing they are there waiting patiently for us 🙂
Happy New Year!! ❤

It’s true that buying books and reading books are two entirely different hobbies 😄

True Kelly. I like to have a 300-500 book cushion at all times so that I can feel content. ♥

Yup, buying more books is like an addiction, it can’t be helped! But surely, ebooks don’t count? As you say, they don’t take up any space and you don’t even have to get your credit card out. 😉

Exactly! Those are two valid and frequently used excuses used by me. Lol

I feel your pain Lynne, I’m never going to live long enough either. I bought 477 books last year and read 30. That 477 was on top of the literally thousands I already have to read. Still at least we’re happy! Happy New Year!!
