All in all, I think had a pretty good reading month in March, and spent a little too much money. How was your March? Did you spend too much money? Have you read any of the books I bought?
You bought 17 books on a book buying ban?!? OK, I won’t comment on it 🙂
I’m also on a ban and hope to to succeed. 4 days in, so far so good. 😥😥😥

Me too. I was just at a geek/nerd convention and there were quite a few books I wanted to buy, but thankfully I didn’t cave. I did buy a bunch of art and trinkets, though… lol

I’ve always liked TMI a lot more though TID was really good. They just moved a little slow for me.

I’m still waiting on some books to arrive so my March haul still isn’t up. I put myself on a ban until I got through my TBR pile. But my fingers must’ve slipped because I ended up buying eight books.

That’s my issue! I have 42 unread books that I’ve bought so I’m trying to get through all of those as quick as I can, while still finishing my library books. It’s so hard haha!

My new years resolution was to stop buying books for at least a month. That lasted all of around 3 hours so no judgement here particularly as there are some really great looking books on your list 🙂

Hahaha well I don’t feel as bad now! Book buying bans never really work out for bookworms I don’t think. 😉

I really can’t help but laugh at how many books you bought while on a book buying ban hahaha I can totally relate though. Every time I say I’m on a book buying ban, I end up caving in. I see several that you bought that I’ve been wanting to read. I’ve been dying to get Salt to the Sea since it was announced and yet I haven’t bought it yet. I don’t know what’s wrong with me! lol
