What is your usual monthly book budget?
What is your usual monthly book budget?
Book budget whaaat?? If I try to set a budget for books, I am convinced that it would only lead to disaster. I buy books when I have extra money, and when I'm broke I don't buy them. Some months I may buy one book, and others I might buy ten.

This week's question:
If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?
Heck yes, I do! I cannot stand to read a series out of order, and won't do it.

ReplyDeleteYour comment about not having money meaning you don't buy books made me chuckle. I'm exactly the same way. If the bank is empty, so is my monthly book buys.
Just stopping by through Follow Friday. I try to budget but always spend alot.

Hey- I stopped by from the hop. I am curious to find someone who likes reading series out of order... I totally agree with you that the books need to be read in order.
ReplyDeleteHopped in to say his and am now a follower. Hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteHopping by....I like your budget answer! Agree!
ReplyDeleteHope you come by and see my answer!
Hey! I'm your newest follower; just stopping by on the hop to wish you a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hate reading books of a series out of order and try to avoid it. But sometimes it happens to me without even realizing it until I find myself completely lost. It pays to do your research before starting a new book!

Hopping through. I'm a new follower. Like you, I don't have a set budget. I usually don't buy anything but it's nice to get someone once in awhile.

Hi, I'm a new follower =) I see that you read Dash + Lily! So jealous! I can't wait to get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Hi! I'm a new follower too! You can find me here: http://blog.juliealindsey.com/ I try to start at the beginning of a series adn my book budget is very very sad lol
ReplyDeleteI can dive right into the middle of a book series if the series' story
ReplyDeletedoesn't run chronologically.
That is to say, if each novel in a series is a stand-alone story (like Lee
Child's Reacher novels) then I don't feel the need to start with book one.
On the other hand, a series of books (like Richard Hatch's Battlestar
Galactica novels) can't be read out of sequence since each new book builds
upon the story of the previous entry in the series.
Happy Book Blogger Hop Friday!

Hi Jenny. I prefer reading series books in order. It adds to the build up of the overall series plot. New follower from the hop and follow Friday.
