In My Mailbox (20)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme run by The Story Siren which explores the books that have been delivered to our mailbox or doorstep or directly into our hot little hands.


Swapped:
Notes from the Teenage Underground by Simmone Howell
Paperback Swap

Last week I declared a book buying ban for the rest of January. I went a little overboard with my purchases to say the least. So I didn't purchase any books this week, but I did get this one through Paperback Swap. I had to spend 10 minutes convincing my husband that swapping and purchasing are not the same thing! I hope that I can hold out until the end of the month. My bending bookshelves will thank me and so will my wallet.

  1. paperback swap so does not count as buying a book :) and i'm proud of you for not buying so far ~ i haven;t either this year APART from a second hand book shop thingy where it was an out of print title. which i don;t think counts either ;)

    also, i love the cover you guys have for this so much more than our Aussie edition!

  4. Swapping is definitely not the same as purchasing! I should probably put myself on a book buying ban, but I don't think that I have the willpower. Good luck with yours and enjoy your reading!

  9. I agree - swapping and purchasing are two different things. Though, you can take care of that bending bookshelf by getting an e-reader. I'm just saying... Though, I don't know if that'll help with the wallet situation!

  10. Good luck with the book buying ban! I went on an ebook spree a few weeks ago and have been pretty good since.

  11. I'm glad you all agree buying is not the same as swapping, haha! It's going to be tough few weeks, but come February 1st, I'm sure I will be at the bookstore. I don't think I can hold off buying Delirium.
