Books and More Books!

This year I am on a serious spending curb as I am no longer working full time. So, any spending spree is definitely in the realm of fantasy, but if and when I win some money or some vouchers, I would definitely put it towards a book buying bonanza! I am a member of Waterstone’s Plus so I get 1 token for every full £10 I spend. That won’t go far on a spending spree, but every so often they have a wishlist competition that asks Plus Members to choose £300 worth of books to potentially win. I love choosing my books for the competition because they tend to be books I would otherwise see as too expensive. That is like a spending spree in my mind and my list changes for every competition.

If I won book tokens or Amazon vouchers I would take the same wishlist based approach and buy lots of books. The book pile at home is being reduced by increments and I am happy with regular trips to the library to get books that are a bit of a punt. However, if and when I do have the opportunity to spend a fair amount of money I will focus completely on books as they bring me so much pleasure and so much learning.
