#BookBan

Participating in my first ever #bookspin / #doublespin / #bookbingo, hosted by @TheAromaofBooks !

Here are my 20! Technically there are a few ARCs in here I have to read regardless— including the book I tagged— but I‘m hoping these games will help me get excited about getting through my overflowing shelves. :)

I wanna know: What‘s one book that has been sitting on your shelf the longest? #tbrpossibility #bookban

MsMelissa I‘ve had The Far Pavillions by M.M. Kaye sitting on my TBR since 1999. I‘ve moved three times since buying it, and the book has moved with me, but I still have yet to read it 😬 4y
MsMelissa PS - You have some great books on your bingo card! 4y
thrillerswithgems Jar of Hearts probably is the one it‘s been on tbr the longest. Btw these all look like amazing reads. 4y

paper.reveries @Book_Fiend_Melissa Oh my gosh!! That IS a long time 😂 It‘s almost a game now, how long can it go unread? 4y
paper.reveries @thrillersandwine I haven‘t read Jar of Hearts either!! We should tackle it together! :) 4y
Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures Those look amazing!!! 4y
paper.reveries @HufflepuffGirl90 I hope they will be! I‘m so far behind on the bestsellers and the hyped up books. Maybe this month I‘ll be able to get through a few more. :) 4y
thrillerswithgems @daisyheadmaesie yes! Let‘s do it 🤗 4y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Glad to have you along!! I still have unread books on my shelf that I picked up at library discard sales back in the 90s, so there's that 😂 4y
paper.reveries @TheAromaofBooks Hahaha I feel this is a trend, leftover 90s books 😂 4y
Scochrane26 I still have at least one Maeve Binchy book that‘s been sitting since about 2003-04. 4y
melissajayne I really enjoyed Lady from the Black Lagoon 4y
paper.reveries @Scochrane26 One day it will get read! Hahaha 4y
paper.reveries @melissajayne Good to hear! :) 4y

1. I'm not allowed to buy anymore books. Not for myself, not for my husband, not for our soon to be baby girl. There's no more space. New law: read, donate and THEN restock.
2. I'm not allowed to go anywhere highly populated because germs are rude and being pregnant AND sick is the worst.

Went to the half priced books clearance sale. With my book ban, I was able to read enough to buy 2 books. Ended up going over by 3 but I feel like I controlled myself 😂

kstadt929 Love the cover of the solar eclipse book 😍 6y
Schnoebs @kstadt929 what‘s super interesting is that when you take the dust jacket off, it‘s this awesome yellow! 6y
allureofbeauty Nice find on Miss Peregrine 💖 6y
Schnoebs @allureofbeauty it‘s in pristine condition. I was shocked! The pages are so white it‘s like it was wrapped in plastic or something tho enter time (edited) 6y
allureofbeauty That‘s awesome. I saw some movies that had never been opened too which was awesome. 6y

My purchase of the day! Luckily I made sure to finish enough books to purchase one today (stupid book buying ban). And the author signed it for me! Super excited for a Chicago base fantasy novel!

So....I made another 'charitable donation' 😬
I'm terrible at this. 😂 but this lot for £6.80 in pristine condition? Couldn't say no.

AWahle Sounds familiar! I usually buy more than I get back when I take books to Half Price. 6y
laurieluna @AWahle I'm terrible! I always tell myself 'no charity shops today' but I can't help just having a peek. I think I won't find anything and then this happens! 😂 6y

I did not break my #bookban. It was a charitable donation for which I got a book in return. Is what I am telling myself. 😂 #bookhaul #charityshop

Cinfhen Hahaha! Amazing reasoning ❤️ 6y
Sophoclessweetheart Is this series good? Xx 6y
laurieluna @Wanderingwithwords haven't read any of them, it just sounded good! Has a 100% rating on here though. Xx 6y

One of my pre orders placed before my #bookban
Even put in for the lovely pre order pin 😍
Really want to pick this up and enter this world again but holding back and trying to finish one of my current reads instead.

MicrobeMom I can‘t wait to read this one too! Trying to finish the 700 page slogger I am in right now! 6y
GondorGirl The pin is so pretty! I hope mine is waiting when I get home tomorrow... 😍 6y
laurieluna @MicrobeMom I've got a few too many on the go again and one more will just be silly. Got a couple of short ones, I'll get one of them finished! 😂 6y
laurieluna @GondorGirl fingers crossed. It's so shiny 😍 6y

Monday #bookmail and additions to the ever-expansive TBR list. I have now placed myself on a #bookban. I literally have no room on my shelves anymore.

Whoops, more book mail today! I was so good and so restrained in December and now I‘m going just a tad (okay, WAY) overboard. Call Me By Your Name is for #booked2018 though, so that‘s completely justified, right? RIGHT? 😬

Hollie Oooh I just remembered I preordered the paperback We Were the Lucky Ones so that should hit my mailbox soon! 7y
Cinfhen Anything for challenges is strictly off the #bookban because it's #requiredreading 🤓 7y
