I'm taking on this April Alphabet Blogging Challenge. I thought it would be fun to commit to the challenge and have my theme be all about Books, Blogging, Reading etc. Hopefully I can do it!
Being that this is April 1st, my first challenge letter is A.
I'm going to blog about one of my favourite places to buy books, Amazon
I have to admit that one of my favourite gifts to receive are
Amazon Gift Cards!
I've even buy myself gift cards to monitor how much I spend per month on books. So if I've given myself an allowance of $25 per month, I buy myself a gift card and that is my budget for the month.
The reason for my monetary limitation for my gift card purchase is because I am a bit addicted to the Amazon 1-Click!
Are you addicted to the "Buy now with 1-Click" too? What do you do to curb your addiction? I found that buying myself a gift card really helped.

Oh yes I so love my Amazon giftcards too! I'm actually pretty good about not over spending lately (unless it's a book signing). I put my Amazon wishlist to good use. Unless I'm gonna read the book immediately it gets wishlisted then I keep an eye on that for price drops. If it goes 99cents or free I'll pick it up. Otherwise I just wait until I'm ready to actually read it :)
I love Amazon GCs. I ask for them as well. I feel so decadent when I can just click on a buy link and boom I have a book. I have been known to save my change and turn it in a coin machine that offers Amazon GCs as a payment option.
I'm blogging about bookish topics for my A-Z Challenge, too! I'll be looking forward to reading your posts!
I'm a fan of Amazon as well--I also buy a lot of used books and I use the site abebooks for that--they make it SO EASY to find a good bargain!
Amazon gift cards alway make me giddy. They open up worlds. haha.
Good start to A to Z, look forward to reading more.
I love Amazon too! And "one click" has gotten me in a lot of trouble! ;-)

Amazon gc's are the best and it is a good way to budget your book buying.I got a kindle for xmas and 1clicking is now one of my bestest friends.
Amazon gift cards and Visa gift cards are the only way's I control my book buying habit. Visa gift cards work great on ARe. Not quite the "one-click" but pretty darn close! ;)
that's a very dangerous button! Amazon was very smart to create that button that makes it so easy for us to buy things!
I did my A post on Amazon Prime...pretty much anything Amazon is fine by me! So I totally understand the obsession :)

Thanks you for all your visits and comments!
Love Amazon GCs! I have a wishlist I often stock pile with books that I just don't want to pay full price on but still want to read. When I get a GC I don't feel as guilty buying them that way as with the bank account.
