I‘m committing to a #pennyperpage budget for buying books in 2021!
It‘s pretty straightforward, but here are some guidelines I‘ll be following. If anyone would like like to join in, use the hashtag so we can try to hold each other accountable! ☺️ If you‘re setting additional guidelines, please share!

julesG I like this idea! I'll try to join. But I'm definitely not good at keeping track past Easter. 😁 3y

Amandajoy Think I‘m gonna try! We‘ll see how well I keep up with it. 3y
keithmalek This is a fun idea, but even this can get expensive for someone like me. 3y
Read-y_Picker This is a great idea! I‘m going to take it up a notch, I think. Double up for impulse reads or books bought in 2021. I REALLY want to read my shelves this year. (edited) 3y
cewilf I love this!! I have so many books I‘ve been meaning to get to. 3y
JacqMac Great idea! 3y
Clare-Dragonfly I love it! I‘ll join in but I‘ll probably end up with more money than I can actually afford to budget 😆 Maybe I‘ll set rules such that rereads and library books are worth less than a penny… 3y
Deblovestoread What a great idea. My caveat would be kindle deals and gift cards aren‘t banned. 3y
MeganAnn Love this idea! 3y
dariazeoli @Clare-Dragonfly ooh, I like that idea. I read way more from the library than my own shelves, and need something to encourage the opposite! 3y
dariazeoli @Kdgordon88 Kindle deals get me in so much trouble, but I figure all I need to do is read a 200 page book to buy one, so that should keep me going. 3y
dariazeoli @keithmalek I see your point. I‘m hoping that by the time I earn a lot of pennies, I won‘t feel the urge to spend them all. 🤞🏻 3y
dariazeoli @Read-y_Picker Ooh, how are you doubling up? Will they cost you twice the pennies to buy? 3y
Read-y_Picker @dariazeoli I was thinking as punishment for buying I would have to put 2 pennies per page. But if it‘s my book budget for next year that‘s kind of a reward, isn‘t it? I‘ll keep to the original rule and just try to behave myself 😂 3y
Eyelit I might just do this! I‘m on a book buying ban right now - but that always feels too restrictive... 😆 3y
Bklover Found this!! Sounds like an awesome idea!! 3y
LoveToReadLiveToRead I‘m way, way behind but I just found this and it sounds like a fab idea! I‘m in! Going to have to do a count and work out what I‘ve spent so far.... 3y
