Grab the button and join in! Hopefully my list will be short, but I doubt it. Bibliophile is also keeping track of the cost of each book, but I don't think I can take that much shock. Also, for my own piece of mind, I'm keeping track of how many of the books I buy I actually read. The green (linked) titles have been read and reviewed here. The purple titles have been read but will not be reviewed.

So...this is a little embarrassing.
Whether Diane continues to "host" this one, maybe I should still keep track. The shame may (may!) force me to buy less or at least read more of what I purchase!

Well so far I have justified my book purchases with the fact that they are for school. That is my story and I am sticking to it. Like glue. I really don't want to know the total. That would just make me feel bad :D
YAY...for you for taking the plunge with me (even without tracking to prices...LOL) We'll compare notes each month :)
