    I’m on a book ban for a long time. Maybe the rest of the year (besides when Allegiant comes out in October). I need to save for the wedding and besides all that, I have a bazillion books in the house that can be read, so there is no reason to buy more books.

    Freebies of course don’t count. But let’s see how I do for the remainder of 2013.
