After no purchases in October, I did some backsliding in November, spending $14 on six books. To an extent, it couldn't be helped; I had "use it or lose it" funny money about to expire and I count those purchases as books bought but not money spent. I also bought a wishlist book that went on sale for $2. But the bulk of my expenditure was on two books and given how much I've already got to read it's hard to justify. The plus side of this month is that I'm currently reading two of my November purchases, one funny money and the other the priciest, and to the extent that I read books I buy right away I give myself a partial pass.
Alas, I've already far outstripped last year in regard to both number of books purchased and cash outlay. However, and not to congratulate myself unduly, I'm still way ahead of the bender years.
