BEA'S BOOK NOOK "I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once." C. S. Lewis “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” ― Oscar Wilde

August Balancing the Books
Inspired by Fantasy Is More Fun and The Geeky Blogger's Book Blog, I decided to start tracking my book expenses this year. I'll do a wrap up post at the end of each month.
I've given myself $10 real money each month to spend on books, whether for myself, as gifts, or blog giveaways. "Real money" being cash from my bank account as opposed to gift cards and store credits. I am counting money spent to ship giveaways and Paperbackswap.com books. Books from my personal shelves, borrowed from the library or a friend, and books received for review do not count against my purchases.
August Challenge Wrap Up
This year I signed up for fewer year long challenges and I'll do more short-term challenges. COYER Summer Scavenger Hunt started in June and ended September 4th.
Grab a drink, get comfy, and get ready!

August Challenges Wrap Up
I'll put up a wrap up post every month or early the next
month for all of my 2013 reading challenges. Some
books, I posted
reviews on the blog, some are on goodreads, there may be one or two
without reviews, especially books I edit or that are put out by my
publisher. I thought I read a lot last month but when I looked at goodreads it was less than I thought. But, I did have a lot of editing so that may have been why I felt like it was so many books.
Book Chick City's 100 Books in 2013
For this challenge, I am not counting any children's books, unless it's YA or MG, nor am I counting books that I edit. I am also doing goodreads' reading challenge and I'm counting everything for that one, but not tracking here on the blog. :D
