Read 5, Buy 1

Hello everyone,

In an effort to minimize the amount of books I own and have not read, I am implicating a new rule. I am calling it the Read 5, Buy 1.

It is pretty self explanatory but in case you are confused, this means I have to read five books before I can buy one.

If this sounds like a cool idea to you feel free to join me.  I will be doing this for all of 2016, and in December I will see how it went and decide if I want to continue.

A few more rules to consider:

1.  If I break this at anytime I must sell or donate a book I own.
2. I can break this rule for books I need for school (although I should not need any next semester)
3. If a book I have been wanting for a long time goes on sale for an AMAZING price, I can buy it. It just means that when I finish my five books I am reading I cannot buy a new one.
4. This includes: paperbacks, hardbacks, eBooks, and Audio-books.  If I get the book for free it is not included. That includes library books, free books from Netgalley, and borrowing from friends.
5. If I make it to 2016 with these rules, I can treat myself and buy 3 new books. 
6. If I magically read five books and do not have a new one I want to buy, I am allowed to save it for a later time.

Hopefully I can keep with this all of 2016. Time to get reading!
