2026, Another Zero Spending Year

I was looking over my reading stats since I started tracking them, and this will be my third year spending no money on books. While that sounds absolutely insane and not doable to most people, I assure you that it’s possible. I am not the type of person who HAS to read a book the second it’s published. I have been making use of my local library for most of all my reading needs, and just put myself on the wait list as books I want to read are coming out. I’ve also gotten a lot of newer reads with not a long wait time through Libby as well.

For those who care, or don’t believe that this is possible, my plan will be to share receipts of books I acquire this year when posting about the book.

Do you spend a lot of money on books in a year? Do you use your library at all?
