I have no self control. Starting in September I will start to budget out my expenses. LOL. I need to make room for new books, while trying to figure out how to keep the shelves from exploding. Great idea.
I am loving this idea. Do you mind if others post similar posts as long as they give credit to you for the idea? I am trying really hard to stick to a personal budget for my household, so I a strict book budget might help me with that. 🙂
You are doing great this year!
Oh you totally don’t have to give me credit even. I am all about getting the budget in order. Feel free to use my format 🙂
It does help to track!
Overall, you’re still doing good!
Still looks like you did good. Plus, it looks like all the ones you purchased were necessities. 😀
We all go through that! It looks like you have done a great job overall and THAT is what you should focus on. 🙂
You picked perhaps some expensive books Felicia. Still, I do admire your willpower on not buying so many books. I know I will never be able nor want to do that.
Crap. I forgot to put a post together for July. LOL
I’ll do one for July and August.
Jane Yellowrock is an awesome series on audio. Enjoy!
I’m with Kim … I have NO self control when it comes to buying books, especially when it comes to buying books on sale on Amazon. I’m weak! I think one of these days I’ll have to tally up how much I spend … it’d be interesting to see!
oh lord your numbers make my belly flip flop since I practice no self control on book purchases and yeah..no I am not gonna look, but I will cheer you on!!
June killed me! I don’t know what I was thinking that month but clearly it wasn’t about budget LOL
I am so confused on Audible’s 3 for 2 sale! There are so many goodies that I’m dying to get a hold of, I don’t know what to pick!
I picked A Taste of Magic, SkinWalker, and Secondhand Spirits. All were in my wishlist LOL
