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

Oh yah!! Me TOO! LOL And... I would never want to publicly "confess" how deep my book addiction runs in case the hubby were ever to see my post!! ;) ROFL!!
I myself did buy a few books yesterday. *See note above re: book addiction! LOL I got:
...No digits posted ;) *Giggles*
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
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!

My book sale is this weekend! I'm so excited. I hope that I can get some really awesome stuff, otherwise I'm gonna be bummed out.

Woot! I have 3 bags of stuff from the sales I went to this year. Now you see why I never use my ereader!

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.
I'm going with shopping bags and about 40 bucks. Its $1 for hardback and $.25 for paperback. I'm loading up!
