This is a challenge my husband supports 100%. It means not so many boxes from Amazon and trips to local book stores. I do love that I can get onto the library’s on-line catalog when I see a new book that interests me and have it waiting for me at the front desk next time I arrive. 
It’s already saved me a ton this past month!

I had to break down last year and buy all of the Hungergames books – after waiting 6 months on the library wait list for the 2nd book. If you’re reading YA or Middle Grade – check out the large print section, sometimes if the book is very popular, there is no wait for the large print edition. Just a little trick I learned
No Jr. High kid wants to be seen reading LARGE PRINT.
