The Power of a Positive No: How to Say No and Still Get to Yes | William Ury

#bookishresolutions #mounttbr Sorry for the messy writing! I took the opportunity to try out my new Pentel Aquash pen and watercolor set!

The hardest part will be the moratorium on book buying ☹️

Check out the Sirens reading challenge! It's a wonderful SFF conference run by women, for women, and the 2017 guests of honor are incredible. I've commented the link below. #sirensreading

MarriedtoMrT I don't think I can commit to the whole Siren Challenge but I'm bookmarking it for the great reading recommendations. Thanks for posting! 8y

thec0zy @MarriedtoMrT That's all that matters! The more good books the better 🤓 8y

shanebeth love the look of those pens! 8y

thec0zy @shanebeth they're really cool! One of my non-bookish 2017 resolutions is to be more artistic, starting with watercolors 😊 8y

saresmoore I love this! And I will volunteer to be accountability on the book buying moratorium. Well, take that with a grain of salt...this is Litsy, after all. But I'm going for the whole year! 🙀 8y

thec0zy @saresmoore thank you! I will totally take you up on the moratorium #accountabilitybuddies offer. The whole year is so brave! I'll volunteer to help you with that too 😳 8y

saresmoore Thank you! I will make an exception for Litsy gift exchanges, though. 😁 8y

thec0zy @saresmoore it doesn't count if you're buying books for others 😉 8y

LectricSheep This conference looks amazing!!! 8y

thec0zy @lectricsheep right?? I'm so excited! I'm planning on going! It'll be my first conference. If you're able, you should come too! 8y

LectricSheep I'm like...seriously interested. Maybe we could get a Litsy group together! It seems like it would be perfect for a lot of people on here. 8y

thec0zy @LectricSheep that's a great idea! We could do a Litsy meet up!! 8y

LectricSheep Yesssss! So fun! 8y

B.Reader Love the ink! 8y

thec0zy @LectricSheep okay, I'll look into the details a little more and let you know what we can organize 😊 8y

thec0zy @B.Reader thank you! It took me longer than I would have thought 8y

LectricSheep Awesome! That would be so cool!!!! 8y

DragonSadhana Thanks for the Sirens link! Those books are right up my alley! 8y

thec0zy @DragonSadhana yay! I'm so glad 🤓 8y

BethFishReads I usually fail at book-buying bans (edited) 8y

thec0zy @BethFishReads you and me both, but I always start them optimistically 😉 8y

BethFishReads Yes! 8y

#bookhaul from last night's HP party! Not that I needed any more. After Christmas, I think I'll have to put a moratorium on book purchases for awhile 😂

jpmcwisemorgan What is this moratorium you speak of? 😉 8y

Foxyfictionista You misspelled 'shopping spree'. It's not spelled m-o-r-a-t-o-r-i-u-m. 😄 8y

thec0zy @jpmcwisemorgan ugh I do so hate the 'm' word 😉 8y

thec0zy @Foxyfictionista what would I do without Littens to snap me out it?? 😉 8y

DeborahSmall I love that our littens can discourage such nonsense 😍 8y

Foxyfictionista @thec0zy @DeborahSmall that's what we're here for! I keep thinking that I should buy fewer books because I have so many but then I snap out of it and get myself to the bookstore! 8y

thec0zy @Foxyfictionista @DeborahSmall Gotta keep our priorities straight! #accountabilitybuddies 8y

Redwritinghood I keep saying the same thing - moratorium on book buying next year. The result has been a flurry of book buying in December. 8y

TheLondonBookworm Me too! But I'm not sure how practical that will be for me 😂 8y

saresmoore I just. Is it possible? Maybe if someone took away all of my access to money? (I'd probably just get a job at a bookstore and barter, at that point.) 8y

thec0zy @Redwritinghood @TheLondonBookworm my moratoria tend to be fairly successful for the first two weeks, and thennnnn I fall off the wagon rather outrageously 8y

thec0zy @saresmoore oh yeah, book swapping would get me too. That and preorders! Maybe I could block bookish purchases on my credit card? 8y

jpmcwisemorgan I love this conversation! I always tell myself, no more ebooks and then a bunch go on special and all is lost. 8y

thec0zy @jpmcwisemorgan me too! lol I don't think I've ever included ebooks in my moratoria. I tend to focus on physical books because they take up space, but I really should include ebooks. 8y

jpmcwisemorgan @thec0zy I have done ok sticking to the not so many physical books rule I made for myself. I try to limit it to special books and that seems to work ok. 8y

thec0zy @jpmcwisemorgan that's what I try to do, but sometimes the pretty ones are hard to resist 8y

jpmcwisemorgan @thec0zy Yes, the pretty ones are hard to resist. In fact, I just acquired two new pretty books that I haven't posted yet. 8y

thec0zy @jpmcwisemorgan ooh I can't wait to see them! 8y

B.Reader Excellent stack! 8y

thec0zy @B.Reader thanks ☺️ 8y
