After a good January I stumbled in February. Buying four books was unfortunate; the outlay was far too high and even worse. However, I don’t regret any of the purchases and if the partners code at Kobo doesn’t rise again, zombie-like, I’ll be even happier I got them when I could.
I did cancel a prebuy at Amazon for a book that’s coming out tomorrow. It’s a book I want badly and once Amazon knocked $5 off its prepublication price I decided to go for it. But there’s a chance one of my OverDrive libraries will buy it and if not, I assume the price won’t go back up in the next few days. I’d be tempted to play chicken hoping the price wouldn’t go up before March 21 when presumably the monthly promotion will happen, but that’s not a given. In any case, putting on the brakes strikes me as a good exercise in (re)developing my powers of resistance!
