September was my best month. I bought only three books for about $14, which equalled my previous low expenditures in both January and April, but I bought five and six books respectively in those months. So, perversely, with a higher average cost September is the winner, since the point is also to cut down on the rate of accumulation.

October was not good, as I bought seven books for $50. Still far fewer books than during various Kobopaloozas, but clearly my average cost has skyrocketed. And since I've already bought two books this month for $9, it seems unlikely that I'll be able to match my September best in November, either.

I'm also not acknowledging the pbooks that have started creeping back into the house, because absent good Kobo coupons the pbook can be much cheaper. If this trend continues, I'll have to start accounting for it also.

Ah, ok, I just checked my orders and in fact, I bought only one book because it was $10 cheaper to get the pbook; the other pbooks weren't available electronically. I still should add a book and ten bucks to my October total, though. Sigh.
