I got these today:
. The first 2 are from Amazon, and the last is a gift from a fellow book addict. I'm really trying to stick to my book budget this month.

[bookcover:Dead and Dat..."Valerie, I planned to cut down this month too. Looking at your purchases is making it a really, really hard thing to do, lol!
I plan to cut down this month but seeing how I started off by buying four books on eBay on March 1st I guess I didn't get off to a good start.Oh well, they arrived today so start my count at 4 for March.
Joseph - glad to see you are back in the race.
Thanks, Looloo. It looks like I'm kind of getting back up to speed. I bought another 3 books from the library today.
Glad to have you back on our book buying crazy train, Joseph! I'm hitting the library book sale tomorrow!!

Because I still had some trade in credit burning a whole in my pocket I went back today and bought:
All I need to do now is spend less time on goodreads, and more time reading!
@ Valorie-I know our March and Feb purchases are starting to mirror each other. Honestly, I was even trying today!
Picked up another interesting read used from the library: Baseball by the Rules: An Anecdotal Guide to America's Oldest and Most Complex Sport. That brings me to 9 now.
I went a little nuts today, but it was budgeted for ahead of time. (I normally pick up maybe 3-8 books a month.) My kitty had surgery today (She's fine now...recovering but druggy and very angry.) and my fiancé and I decided to go to a used bookstore to spend some positive time doing something other than worry until we got the all-clear that the surgery had gone well. We had previously set aside money to book-shop this month, and since we had all our bills paid up we decided today was a good day. Then I ordered more when I got home. (I'm just listing my purchases, not my guy's. He picked up 8 books, but I don't recall all the titles.)Used, from a local used bookstore (12):
New, purchased online (4):
(Those last two are gifts for a friend's toddlers.)
Used, purchased online (8):
(That last one is a gift for someone else.)
Swapped for on Goodreads (5):
Total books purchased today: 29. Well, other than swapping if something on my wishlist comes up, I think I'm probably done for the month.

from the library re-sale area."If you haven't read it already, you're going to really like The Girl with the Pearl Earring. Cevalier does great art-themed historical fiction.

She has the next book in that series coming out in April.

I love collecting series books, so hopefully this would be one of them. ^_^

Bluemoon wrote: "I love collecting series books..."Me too! That's part of my addiction "problem." I just have to have complete series, and they're not always series I like to read, I just like to have them, like certain mystery series like P.D. James or Sara Paretsky because they're classics, that sort of thing.

hahahaaha....same here. When I finish one series I need to start a new one right away!
I received a half.com purchase today....
Puts me at 32, I'm going to slow down from here! I must cut back on the book buying!
