I can't believe the first month of 2015 is already over. January went by so fast. I read 6 books in January. I'm in the middle of Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George, Fallen by Anne Hunter (kindle), and Cruel Beauty by Rosamond Hodge (overdrive). I will finish some of these books in February.
My first book of the year was My True Love Gave to Me by Various Authors. Then I read The Hunger Games and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. After that I read Sold for Endless Rue by Madeleine E. Robins, My Life with the Walter Boys by Ali Novak, and Cinderella by Jenni James which were all inter-library loans.
January saw the 2nd crash of my desktop computer. I should get it back on Monday. I had to get a new hard drive. January was a pretty warm month for weather. I say that when today we are getting snow. I also started my 2nd semester of my sophomore year of college. So far my classes haven't been too bad. I just need to keep on top of them otherwise the homework will over take me.

I did not earn any money though coupons this month. I did manage to save $8.85, so I will have some money earned in February. I bought textbooks at the beginning of January and saved $161, so that is $8.05 earned. In total I earned $13.75. I spent $11.77 on books in January, so that means I currently have $1.98 to spend. I'm sure I will purchase a few books next week at the library books book sale.
I read 2/5 of the books I set on my January TBR. I'm 50% through Fallen so I have started that one. I'm hoping to read Princess of Glass and Princess of the Silver Woods by Jessica Day George, A Little House of Their Own by Celia Wilkins, Fairest by Marissa Meyer, To all the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han.
I love Jessica Day George's books. I just picked up Fairest. I'm thinking of waiting til Winter comes out before I read the rest of the series.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Princess of the Midnight Ball and I'm excited to start the next book in the series.
DeleteI cannot wait to read Fairest and have it coming up this week to read. I love how you work your budget. Good luck with school Rachael.
ReplyDeleteI have Fairest in my possession and it so pretty. I can't wait to read it.
DeleteI long for warmer weather! I am looking forward to reading Fairest but I need to read Cress first. Your budget is awsome! Good luck with it :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I would like some warmer weather also. Ever since I wrote this post it has been freezing. You need to read Cress. It is so amazing.
