You're keeping track of the books you buy? I'd go crazy if I tried to do that.

Tish | 207 comments We are kind of on a "no buying, only borrowing" thing because a) we are trying to be frugal due to my being laid off a while ago and b) until the study my husband is creating in the attic is finished with all its built-in bookcases, there is nowhere left to keep books. They are under all the beds, lined up 2 and 3 deep and stacked into towers along the walls...you know how it gets :) But I just bought Eragon, Eldest & Brisingr (Inheritance, #1-3) by Christopher Paolini for my son. He's reading them for the third time and it gets so tiresome waiting for them to be available at the library. I've read them at least once, maybe twice, and would happily read them again someday, so they made the cut!

not every month. but this month I had promised my boyfriend not to buy anymore books so it's a guilt count. luckily for me, my boyfriend doesn't read my posts or have an account.

Strange Angels is one of my favorite series. It's definatly not for everyone, but I'm always recommending it to people who like a darker YA book.
