This week's Feature & Follow Friday topic was one that brought out a fun little tidbit about my past: until recently I didn't really buy books. At least not regularly. I might have bought a book if it was something I was absolutely DYING to have, but mostly I got ebooks or I got my books from the library or a used book sale. I pretty much never bought new books!

Not that I'm complaining... But my husband might have a thing or two to say next time we move! What I'm trying to say is I get it now. I understand where your coming from.
But I still don't understand "book buying ban."
