BEFORE YOU TELL ME I'M CRAZY for buying so many books, let me tell ya, I got them for AWESOME deals. And by awesome deals, I mean I got THREE of them for FREE and the rest of them I paid either 99¢ for OR no more than $4.00. Otherwise, you would probably only have seen MAYBE 1/4 of the above. I've been trying to cut back as much as possible, especially since I have so many books to catch up on. This month, I couldn't pass up the deals. I just couldn't. I've decided that August will be "catch up on some reading and try really hard not to buy any books" month. There are a couple I have my eye on, but I'm restraining myself. I will reward myself when I catch up. *MUST GET CAUGHT UP BECAUSE I WANT THOSE BOOKS!!!*

That was my awesome month of bookish goodness. How about you? Did you get anything good this week/month?

Yeah, I somehow bought Insurgent for my Nook. I went online to buy it and discovered I clicked on a link for the Nook book version instead of the hardcover and was too tired to realize what I did until a minute later. *extreme facepalm moment* So when I won a giveaway, I picked Insurgent.

That was my awesome month of bookish goodness. How about you? Did you get anything good this week/month?

~Remember my post about how I'm constantly temped to buy books I've entered giveaways to win? Some of you may recall from March's book haul that I bought this book. I found out after that post that I won a signed copy from Kirsten's huge Wanderlove Release Day Giveaway. I would call this ironic, but I expected it to happen eventually.

That was my relatively small (but truly awesome!) month of bookish goodness. How about you? Did you get anything good this week/month?
