How This Month Went
Well you can check out my Sunday Post's for my week-to-week news! I've done alright reading wise, I read 30 books and DNF'd too, meaning that I'm about 10% into all my challenges already!
Costs of the Month
Last year I decided to keep track of what I was spending and saving on books, which I found really interesting! And while I've changed the way I'm keeping track (it's now all on one spreedsheet with my review schedule as opposed to on two seperate ones) I'm still carrying on! To be clear this is for the books that I have read (not necessarily the ones I've bought!) I take the Kindle book price at the time I'm writing the review vs. how much I paid for the book. If/when I have any giftcards to take into account I'll add them on a different total!
Basically looking at this month the savings almost paid for my kindle (which is actually more than three years old so has clearly paid for itself several times over!
