This month I bought quite a few books. I did go to a book sale that happened near my house, so I did find some cheaper books there, so that’s probably why I have so many listed on here. But I did only spend money if the books were on sale or I had a coupon this month, which is really good for me.
If you have read any of these books, just let me know down in the comments on how you feel about them, or give me any other book recommendations!
