So, first things first, The List has now been updated to show exactly what I finished (F), what I’m currently reading (C), what I started but haven’t picked up for while (S) and also which ones I’ve chosen not to finish (DNF). It will remain static from this point on as I want it to … More A Year of Reading Frugally: The End
There will be one final post after this, where I sum up the year and the challenge, pick the twelve books I’ve most enjoyed over these 365 days to recommend to you all, and talk about where I’m intending to take my reading next. For this post though, I’m simply going to share what I’ve … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Eleven and Twelve
One thing I am learning from this challenge is that my purchase of physical books and audiobooks are far less impulsive than my e-book buying. As such I’m finding that The List is mostly populated with e-books and when I look through I now cannot quite fathom what the initial attraction was. This lack of … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Nine and Ten
I’m still finding the challenge fulfilling and, delightfully, the fear I had of missing out on books if I don’t buy them immediately seems to have gone away for good. The List isn’t being ticked off as fast as I’d like (more on that later) but it continues to provide me with one excellent reading … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Seven & Eight
When I decided to start this challenge, six months ago, one of the things that seemed obvious to me (and one of the main reasons I created it in the first place) was that my TBR pile would be smaller at the end of it than it was at the beginning. The logic was sound … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Five and Six
I have, and yet have not, struggled with the challenge over the past two months. The easy part has been not buying new books since I discovered that book buying was more of an anxiety response than I had originally understood. Instead of being tied to a fear of missing out if I didn’t purchase … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Three and Four
I have to say that, so far, this challenge has been both enjoyable and very easy to stick to. I’ve not yet found myself feeling as if I don’t have anything I want to read and having the list to work through has added a purpose to my reading that I’m finding very helpful at … More A Year of Reading Frugally: The First Two Months
Well, I dithered for a while and then decided that I would, in fact, share the whole list on here. Mainly because it’s another way of keeping myself accountable but also because I like sharing lists of books and hopefully some of you will have read some of these and can rec them to me … More A Year of Reading Frugally: The List
I’m still not sure if this is the right title for the challenge I’ve set myself but since it does involve me not spending one single penny of my money on books for a year it will do for now. That said, the challenge doesn’t come from a place of wanting to save money (that’s … More A Year of Reading Frugally
