38 books for £31.92 when I'm going to really enjoy each and every one of them is a great bargain. (10xGil Cunningham, 3xLovejoy, 19xAmelia Peabody, 6xVicky Bliss)
OK, so now I mustn't buy any more ebooks in February and most of March (other than the ones already planned or on subscription), but how hard could that be?  |
Yes, it blows the budget, but I agree you did the right thing in this case. It's quite the bargain and you've picked up some good series with those!
I'm over for the month now as well, at ~$35 on a ~$30 budget. It was another long week medically-speaking, and having the distraction of something new to read outweighed the desire to stick within the budget.
