This is my last BB&B post this year and it has been an awesome year blogwise. In January, I'm going cold turkey with Grace (Books of Love) and not request Digital RC's in NetGalley & Edelweiss to purge my Kindle Fire with old titles. Fingers crossed I make it!
Be safe guys and celebrate the coming year with much pomp and circumstance (meaning drink lots of alcohol and eat lots of food). See you next year!

Happy New Year, Braine! I loved chatting books and TV with you this past year. Downton season premiere next Sunday- woohoo! See you on Twitter! :D
ReplyDeleteDVR set for Downton Abbey! And for sure you & I will be doing more book & tv chats this year!
DeleteI'm looking forward to your Bitter Spirits review!
ReplyDeleteI went cold turkey with Netgalley this year. Once I started to really catch up on my BEA/Netgalley/Kindle books I allowed myself two review books a month - more if I managed to read and review them that month. It's working for me and I don't feel so overwhelmed anymore. Good luck!
Great tip, Karen! I think I'll try and do that this year :)
Deletegood luck with goinG cold turkey!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I need it! LOL
DeleteTemptation sounds great, hope you enjoy! Happy New Years!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the cold turkey. I have thought about it, but don't know if I am strong enough
LOL I feel you! It helps when you're doing it with someone, hopefully my buddy will help ground me.
DeleteOh my..good luck with your purge!! Hopefully my March challenge will help :) Nice haul this week. Have a wonderful New Year's :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck to us! Anything to help keep this "hobby" in perspective :D
DeleteOooh, good luck going cold turkey and with the ARC purge!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :)
Lord! Now i'm nervous, am I way in over my head with this cold turkey thing?!
DeleteGood luck with your resolution! I've slowed down a bunch, but you're inspiring me to do more.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll take it one day at a time, I ended the year with a good binge and it felt good to just read and not analyze stuff for a change. I want to do more of that this year :)
DeleteYou picked up some good looking books this week, Braine. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm cutting back in the new year, myself...so I'll cheer you on! :) LOL *Cheers* to a wonderful 2014 and I'll have a drink or a few just for you!! ;)
Cheers to fewer but better reads this year!
DeleteI hope you make it with no NG and Edelweiss!! I think I am going to pile on to your little Bought, Borrowed and Bagged in 2014. I feel like jumping on your train each week :D
ReplyDeleteI am already scheduling all my Amazon reads so I get in a handful each month cause dude how many can we keep buying and letting them sit. Mateeeyyy!!!!

Happy new Year everyone. I shall be celebrating ahead of your side of the blogosphere
Jump on & I need to do this binge otherwise my TBR will go to hell
DeleteBrrr! I just got chills from that whole going cold turkey thing from NG and Ed. I wish you luck, my sister, b/c if you're like me you'll need it.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy New Year, Braine! Wishing you a year full of the best.
I know how hard it's going to be!!! I'm nervous!
Deletegreat! I'm starting Gilded Hearts, can't wait to see how it is. happy r eading!
ReplyDeleteWill check out your review as always :D
DeleteOh you got some really good looking books this week! And good luck cutting back on the review books! I have been trying to do the same. Hope you have a happy new year!
ReplyDeleteTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
It's a process I know :S
DeleteGood luck going cold turkey dear, I'm trying hard to battle my large TBR pile in 2014 too, I hope I do better than I did this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope your NYE and NY are wonderful!
Here is my haul post

Yup, one fix I made was line up my reviews for the month that way I won't be feeling "empty" and fight the urge to request or download.
DeleteHappy new year! I really need to stop requesting books until I catch up on the ones I already have lol. Good luck with doing that! Let me know if you manage and maybe that will help motivate me.
ReplyDeleteFor sure I will gripe about it if it's a frickin pain to do :D
DeleteGreat books and Happy New Year to you. Good luck with going cold turkey. I need to do that so bad. I have so little will power, but I am going to try my best to cut back next year for sure.
ReplyDeleteI just need to purge a bit to make way for new ones! LOL
DeleteSuch a good idea! It's something I've been thinking about and I may join you -- cold turkey on Edelweiss and NetGalley. Can't do it anymore and I can't keep up!
