Resisting Temptation: No More Books...

... at least for a while. I have a deep love of books and have had it since I was little. The problem is that I tend to collect them as well which is great for my personal library but not so great for actually reading them. I have too many books on my "to-read" list and too few going onto my "have-read" list. Between my physical book shelves and my Kindle library, I have enough books to keep me busy for a while. So I'm not buying anymore until I make a serious dent in the collection that I already have.

I've had this in place for over a month now and I'm doing fairly well. The only exception I'm making is for my book club since obviously those will be necessary to buy when I can't get them from the library.

Since I put this into place, I've read a handful of books. I still have a lot more to go, but I at least feel like I'm making a little bit of progress.
