Question of the week:
What is your usual monthly book budget?
Well....I should probably have one but I don't. Though I have been really good lately and have only bought one book in the last 2-3 weeks. Probably because I am re-reading a series I already had which is great cause I am ba-roke. For reals. LoL I do plan on going to the book store this weekend though, eek. I have been known to spend $60+ in one visit.
What about you guys out there? Do you have a monthly book budget?
Book Blogger Hop & Crazy-for-Books question comes from Christina who blogs at All About YA Books:
"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"
Yes, I do. I have to know everything that is going on, start to finish, I can't just hop into it in the middle. And I'm the same way with TV shows too, which is probably why I rarely watch TV. And I even made a rule with our book club that if someone wants to pick a book that is part of a series it needs to be the first one.
Do you feel the same or can you just pick up a book in the middle of a series? If so, I bet that saves a ton of money on some series! LoL

Hi Crystal! Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing all three of the Friday blog run. I don't limit myself to budget with books. I just love to read and write so that line is always doable for me. And Yes, I love start a series at the 1st book.
Hey! I'm your newest follower; just stopping by on the hop to wish you a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI see your waiting on Jeaniene Frost's newest book. I just finished reading Halfway to the Grave. I loved it! *swoon* Bones.

ReplyDeleteHi Crystal!
ReplyDeleteI hear you... I have been very brave in November though and I´ve started to save money, but only so I can go to Book Expo America in 2011 :)
The Night Huntress series is totally awesome! I´m also waiting impatiently for the new book!
Have a great weekend!
