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!

Still looks like you did good. Plus, it looks like all the ones you purchased were necessities. 😀

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.

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!
