I always spend more on audios than actual paperbacks. You did pretty good this month!!
I’m not even letting myself look at a book right now. i just got back from BEA with a stack full and if I buy anything ales I deserve all the anxiety it causes lol
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.
Lol, sometimes you just have to go on a book buying binge! And of course you needed Killer in Crinolines, I read it last week and it is fun!
Well, at least you are holding yourself accountable. Better luck next month. I am sorry I have been AWOL all week I have had company. I will be back regularly next week 🙂
It looks like you’re doing fantastic! I need to learn how to control myself better. I am very good at talking myself into purchases! 🙂
Yes, you read 8 arcs..so proud of you, and we all fall of the wagon once in a while…me I am being dragged by the wagon as I through books into it!
The “dragged by the wagon” comment made me laugh!
God I hate my smartphone *throw books into it! Hehehe
I didn’t even catch that! I was just thinking the visual! Hahahahah
Lol, good luck 😉
I don’t know… it looks to me like you did pretty good. You rock at keeping track of it all!
