[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Huzzah! Good job :) I also like the increase to 5. I'm moving at a slug's pace with mine at 5, but it definitely will help me more in the long run.

I decided in just this moment that books received for Christmas don't count against me lol.

[Tammie]

Good job Miche!

Niki, if you didn't buy it yourself then it shouldn't count, that's what I think anyway.

[Miche]

Thank you, ladies!

I am with Tammie that gifts shouldn't count against you at the challenge, Nikki. ;)

[Miche]

Scythe was on sale for $1.99, so I couldn't resist. As I still had an open credit from the round 2 of the Book Buying Ban Challenge, I will use it for this one.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Oooohhhh... I'm getting one.

I am excited for Bonehunters! After Oathbringer I am in bit of a hangover, but I am sure Erikson will slap me out of it. ;)

Bought one more book on sale: Theft of Swords

[Miche]

Vicious was on sale gor $2.99 so I had to get it.

November wasn't a good month for the Book Buying Ban Challenge. ;-)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Me neither as you know haha. Luckily, I'm not worried about it until my incomplete series challenge is squared away. Then I will be gung-ho about this one. You're updates up til this point have really helped motivate me.

We all have our slip ups. It's a good thing this group is full of a bunch of enablers. ;-)

So true! That is one if the reasons why I like this group so much! :)

[Laura]

I think December may be a bad month for me Miche. I really don't blame you. (And that's because I'll probably do the same next month! :))

[Tammie]

Sometimes you just have to buy it if it's on sale! I bought a couple of things too.

[Miche]

Thank you, girls! :)

December will probably have other shopping spree too. But I really don't feel guilty if I pay under $5 for a book. ;)
