While I don't always follow it, I will typically rent the book first in case I don't like it. I type notes either on my phone or on my laptop so I don't have to write on the book. If I like it, then I'll buy it. However, if there are really good reviews/recommendations on the book, I'll just go buy it. I decided to buy Kerri Maniscalco's Kingdom of the Feared series box set from B&N. They are so pretty and I loved the story. I also bought The Love Hypothesis and it turns out I really didn't like it as much as I thought I would, based off the reviews and recommendations. Big disappointment.

I set my goal on Goodreads for 20 books. I am hoping to read more than that, but we'll see. I am going to read through as many books on my shelf as possible, as I have not read most of them yet. So. I won't be buying anymore books this year, until they are all read
