    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!

    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!

    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!
