Update on the Month
So...this month has been a fairly bad reading month, mostly due to everything going on. My job's changed now after the woman whose maternity I was covering came back to work. So I've been trainging with the chef among other things. However due to another baby, I'll probably be going back to doing what I was soon...so there is that.
I've been pretty sociable this month too! I had a friend's engagement party at the beginning of the month and it was the first time all 6 of us from uni had been together in ages! (There's never all of us around at the same time!) So it was a fantasitc night. I also went to visit my bestie for a weekend and she treated me to the spa and dinner before we went for cocktails.
Writing wise this month has been really good. I finished my Phantom manuscript and my best friend now has it to help me rip it apart! I also finished my first round of edits for Cloaked and have been giving a lot of thought to what I want to write next!
Costs of the Month
So this is basically the amount I should have spent on books, and the amount I actually did spend. I am ridicolously grateful for the existance of Netgalley and Review Copies it must be said! The prices I use is for the kindle edition of a book unless it isn't available or I read a paperback copy.
