My favorite motto when it comes to books: Treat Yo' Self. Forgot I ordered this but glad it's on the shelf now. #bookmail Speaking of #treatyoself I've been on the Folio Society website and there are some reasonably priced books I would love to own! Maybe next month. This month's budget is shot to pieces. 😁
vivastory I wholeheartedly agree with your motto! 7y
ReadingEnvy What is "reasonably priced" for Folio Society? I was on the site and Ulysses was $195! Are they magical?!? 7y
EvieBee @vivastory We are kindred spirits! ❤️ 7y

Melissa_J I also live by the treat yo self motto when it comes to books 😊 Also, as a former Girl Guide I'll be stacking this book 👍🏻 7y
EvieBee @ReadingEnvy Haha! Noooo! I was looking at the ones I could afford which were between $35-$60. The ones I actually LOVE are well over $100 so I'll just have to continue coveting those from a distance. 7y
EvieBee @Melissa_J Ooh, nice! 7y
HardcoverHearts Folio Society books are amazing. I wouldn't let myself buy them until this year. I bought the Dune that I had been coveting for so many years. I'm going to London next week and their bookstore is on my list of places to go! 😱 7y
EvieBee @HardcoverHearts So they ARE magical! If I could curtail buying as many books as I do and save up for books I love...it would probably be an even exchange. I've been using my library more so this may work! 7y
ReadingEnvy @EvieBee84 Maybe for books I know I want to keep forever then, favorites? Until I'm independently wealthy? ;) 7y
ReadingEnvy @HardcoverHearts oh I do hope you report back after your visit! 7y
HardcoverHearts And they do have some sales from time to time. The Dune I bought was bundled with The Man From the High Castle by Phillip K. Dick so it was a deal that I couldn't miss. And I shop in Friends of the Library sales and almost passed out once when I found a Folio Society edition of Brideshead Revisited! And it was only $8. So I have those 3 + Rebecca by Daphne du Maurice and The Moving Toyshop by Edmund Crispin. Can't wait to see what's in the shop! 7y
HardcoverHearts @ReadingEnvy and @EvieBee84 ^^ 7y
Cspen113 Love that mug!! 7y
batsy That's my motto too, which is why I'm in trouble, in many ways 😂 7y
EvieBee @Cspen113 Thank you, Crystal! 7y
EvieBee @batsy Lol, I know exactly what you mean. 7y
minkyb I had never ordered a folio book but I gave my daughter one as a holiday gift which meant I was eligible for their yearly sale around January I think. You can really pick up some bargains with access to that sale! 7y
EvieBee @minkyb Really?! I had no idea! Thank you for letting me know. 7y
