May 2016 Bookish Life Budget

In May I decided to cut out one of my events. I’m wavering on another. I’m so social lately! 😉

Category	Amount	Spent this Month	Remaining Balance
B&N Membership Renewal	$0.00	$0.00	$0.00
Readers & ‘Ritas 2016 Event Ticket	$180.37	$0.00	$180.37
Buns & Roses	$0.00	$0.00	$0.00
Boas & Tiaras	$52.24	$0.00	$52.24
Audible Subscription	$198.72	$24.84	$173.88
Books (Ebooks, paperbacks & hardcovers)	$222.15	$33.11	$189.04

Total:	$653.48	$57.95	$595.53

My book spending was up a little this month. I actually bought a few hardcovers that I had in ebook just for my shelves. It was that damn Half Price Books 20% off sale over the Memorial Day weekend. Plus Darkest Torment came out on the 31st. I had to have that one! So here we go with the book haul for May that somehow got out of control!

I’m a little disappointed in my Divine Misdemeanors purchase. I am collecting the Anita Blake in hardcover, but Merry Gentry in paperback. Now I’ve confused the whole thing by having a Merry Gentry in hardcover. I will have to do something about that but I haven’t figured it out quite yet.

So tell me! What goodies did you get this month? I have so many I’m looking forward to digging into that this reading slump is killing me. I failed miserably at the May’s Clean Sweep ARC event. I think I need to find one of those books that just totally blows me away and I think that will jump start me. The audiobooks I’ve been listening have been keeping my attention, it’s the ebooks that are getting me.

I hope everyone has a great month and be sure to share your haul with me in the comments! I’d love to hear what you all hauled!
