I really fell off the wagon this month - and it's only the second! I bought two books of essays on genre fiction by John Lennard, because I love his work on the Bujold list and his
A Civil Campaign Companion (it's free, and a must-read for Bujold fans). But the two books I purchased were $10 each - way more than I usually spend. Dear Husband encouraged me to do it, though, so maybe I can say it's all his fault.
