Book Spending
About $78 N.Z. which would be about $54 U.S. Doesn't include those on sale audiobooks so a little more than that actually. So more like $100 N.Z. now that I think about it!

So how did your reading month pan out?
Looks like you had another great reading month. I see that you brought a Cathy Kelly book. She is a great author, I haven't read that one, but read some of her older books.
ReplyDeleteI think actually the Cathy Kelly book may have been influenced by you because you've said you like her and I decided I better give her a chance!
DeleteThat is cool. I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to read it.
DeleteGreat month in review Kathryn
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Same to you Debbie.
DeleteYou're making really good progress with the In Death series. I'm planning to read a few of them next year, hopefully more than a few.
ReplyDeleteYes pretty happy with the progress and I intend making a big run on it in 2016, one of my goals!
DeleteI'm very excited about Heather Gudenkauf's new book. She's is from Iowa and I've had the chance to meet her twice at our local Barnes and Noble.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to meet her. What a treat to meet a valued author.
DeleteGood month :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes it was good and lots of my own books which was great.
DeleteYou did awesome!! Happy 2016!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Freda and Happy 2016 right back at you.
DeleteYou had a great month, Kathryn!!! I just finished reading Kristan Higgins' new book - so good, so bummed, though, that it's the last book in her Blue Heron series. Oh well! Hopefully that only means she'll be writing a new series soon! I have Heather Gudenkauf's new book and am looking forward to reading that one as well as Robyn Carr's new one, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!!
Kristin Blue Heron was such a good series and almost feel like rereading it all, but... time! Yeah looking forward to both those new releases in 2016.
DeleteYou had an impressive month! Mine was better this month, too; and I see some titles on your list that I'll be reading soon, like Missing Pieces.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the New Year!
Hope your 2016 is just as wonderful as your 2015. Have a wonderful New Year!
ReplyDeleteHi Katheryn,
ReplyDeleteHaven't read any of your books, I'll
have to check them out. Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteGreat month!! I didn't get any reviews done in December, and I'm tempted to just say forget it for those books. Start fresh in the new year. Or maybe just one collective review post for all of them...now my wheels are turning. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a great month of reading in January!
Netgalley is tough to resist! It looks like you had a great December of books. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic post...not sure how I missed it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
