I’ve had some time to look over the numbers of my Bookish Life Budget and I see that I did pretty well again this year. I did get to some cons and still managed to keep my book buying under budget. I didn’t use my library as much as I thought I would. I’m a […]
December was a great month for book buying. I was able to restrain myself from buying any new ones. It wasn’t too hard since we moved in December and my bookshelves somehow were destroyed during the move. I’m not sure if that was intentional by my husband or not. I don’t think he wanted to […]
November was a pretty quiet book month for me. I did use up an audio credit as well as grabbed a freebie and some review books. Also, there was a virtual signing for one of J.R. Ward’s books this month, and we all know what that means. Tanya must buy. So I purchased a VS […]

May was not a terrible month. I decided to drop the Boas & Tiaras con from my budget though. I hope that is the only one I let go. Buns and Roses tickets go on sale on June 1, so I am getting prepared for that. Ilona Andrews is the keynote speaker and I don’t […]
