It is honestly amazing as a one woman play, Jodie Comer plays it brilliantly.

the explanation does make sense for me as i do like more introspective prettily written stuff!
. Almost £2k a year. This is amazing! Well done you and great to have that savings pot at the end.It's done.
858 days.
20,592 hours.
And the money I have saved, I know I asked for guesses the other week - not one of you was even close. I am embarrassed to say I have saved £4678.70p.
£60.39 on 99p books. - I would have bought these and they would have been bloatware on my Kindle aside from a few of them.
£2578.31 - on 369 new books hardback/paperbook that were not on WOB yet,l I buy from Indie book shops so pay rrp and not cheapyt Amazon prices. I would probably not even have read about 50% of these.
£1020 - on WOB.
£1,019 - on sprayed edges, special editions, clothbounds etc.
That is a staggering £4678.70p in almost 2.5 years. On average £38 a week
I realise I am in a privileged position to be able to spend so much on books but watching that amount add up in an account, I moved the amount I would have spent into a saving accout. Once it really started getting closer to £500 it became quite a fun challenge to see how far it could go.
No idea it would be so much. Here's to making better choices, both for me, from a consumerism pov and from an environmental one.
To read A Flicker in the Dark and get a side dose of amnesia....
That is totally inspiring! How did you do it, did you put the money away every time you saw a book you would have bought otherwise? Or did you just sort of average out based on past purchases? It's an incredible amount of money, think of the book spree you could go on now!It's done.

Me too like you predicted.
I put the money into a separate bank account everytime I considered paying £x for a book and where/cost. It started mounting up surprisingly quickly.
Fantastic! Well done. I really need to try this.It's done.

I know. Im the same, I dont read quite as much as Ordinary Jelly but I know they have a not great circumstance which allows them to read alot.
because I dont really enjoy reading a hard back so I put it off.I don’t mind reading a hardback but some of them are pretty chunky.I know. Im the same, I dont read quite as much as Ordinary Jelly but I know they have a not great circumstance which allows them to read alot.
I dread to think how many years it would take me to get through my books. I am managing about 10 books per month at the moment.
I feel like I have really cut down on unnecessary spending in the last few years but I guess I still use spending as a dopamine hit and in my head I think oh a wee book isnt much ££ but it all adds up. Its pre orders that are probably my biggest spend but ultimately alot of them I could wait until theyre in paperback
My own worst enemy it seems.
Yes that looks beautiful. I might read Rewitched coming into Autumn. Its not a spring / summer book in my head. Would you recommend?
This appeals to me too when I get a minute.
I enjoyed it.
I'm purple and not a single one of those synopses appealed LOL. also absolutely hated all the books he recommended and the what kinds of things you like was also way off.
I can’t justify full price for Audible so I’m forever cancelling and signing up when they send me offers.
