It keeps us accountable. I wouldn't have bought nearly that much but 99 cent sales and huge coupons are my weakness.

I was good this week. Not because I had any self-discipline, I was out of town most of the week

I didn't realize I'd bought so many

Off the Record by Sawyer Bennett ($1.35)
Redesigned by Denise Grover Swank ($1.80)
Darkness Before Dawn by Claire Contreras ($1.80)
California Sunset by Casey Dawes ($1.98)
California Wine by Casey Dawes ($1.98)
Come the Dawn by Christina Skye ($0.99)
(plus 3 non-fiction titles totaling $4.77)

9 books = $14.67

I want to get the new novella (The Wicked) in the Elder Races series, releasing on July 2; hopefully the contest codes will still be valid then. And I want to get California Homecoming, which is releasing tomorrow.

Moonfeather - Judith E. French (4.14)
Savage Deception - Lynette Vinet (.99)
Emerald - Lauren Royal (.99)

Not bad at all I think.

DITTO!
Regarding the book hoarding article, I've been thinking in the last couple of weeks of trying to cut down the NUMBER of books I buy and also stick to my budget. I admit, the thought 'scares' me, but it goes along with that rule of when you're cleaning out a closet or something, that only replace what you give out. So, to that thinking, I should only be buying 2-5 books a week then.
No, I don't think I can do it either...
Atunah, Loosheesh, libraryaddict, you guys did GREAT!
And Apesmom, are the crickets chirping because you REALLY didn't buy anything? I'm not sure what kind of crazy accounting you did this week?

ETA: re: The Genius and the Muse by Elizabeth Hunter, I don't know how but I missed the sale on this one, so I'd really like to know how it is. I enjoyed the couple I read of hers from The Elementals series [have the rest but haven't finished yet]

Loved that article! Funny I started cutting back last week, not really on freebies, but definitely on one-clicks! Part of that is because I've had a slew of DNF and low-starred books lately. Now I absolutely read the sample before I buy and may actually start making some headway into my non-couponable want list of books I know I will for sure enjoy!

Well it certainly wasn't good. $0.99 Avon sale plus Kobo contest codes do nothing to encourage moderation on my part. I don't think even I could invent enough deductions to justify it all! On the bright side my Tier 1 wish list will be down to 5 items and assuming the Kobo codes stay active until Tuesday so I can grab the new releases, I won't be adding any more to that wish list until Aug. As for my Tier 2 list, it has 45 items on it but I'm starting to think I should just delete it since even with big Kobo codes I'm pretty unmotivated to buy any of them.

I might be all set to behave for a few weeks, unless Amazon has a sale (and you know they are waaaay overdue for a good one.)

I now have sooooo much good stuff to read that I'm pretty much set until next year!

Added two more to this week's tally
  • The Damsel in This Dress by Marianne Stillings
  • Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evie by Marianne Stillings
I didn't realize until I started fixing the metadate in Calibre that the book I bought yesterday was part of a series.

Jennifer Blake freebies at amazon

Silver-Tongued Devil (Louisiana Plantation Collection 01) by Jennifer Blake
Quote:

Which is stronger, hate or love?

After a steamboat disaster, Angelica wakes in the bed of a man she doesn't know, tied to him in a wedding she can't remember. Yet his kiss is sweetly familiar...

Renold took Angelica in a moment of madness, and kept her for the sake of her dowry - the plantation stolen from his family. Yet living with her is daily, and nightly, torment.

What began as an act of vengeance becomes searing desire and heedless love. But what redemption, what possible sacrifice, can lead to forgiveness and the possibility of forever?
You may already have Midnight Waltz (Louisiana Plantation Collection 02) that was free last month.
