March was a pretty good month when it came to spending. I was able to keep my money in my pocket with the exception of my Audible payment. This is truly remarkable because now that I have my shelves arranged, I feel like I have room for more books and am incredibly tempted to go […]
February brought about some changes that affected my budget. I know it was my intention to stay close to home and not do any out of town conventions this year, but an opportunity came up and I snatched it. I am going to be going to Literary Love Savannah in July this year. To do […]
