I blacked out. 
That is my only excuse for what you are about to witness here. I honestly have no clue how the below happened and how most of it happened after I went on my book buying ban. For context, let me start from the beginning–June was a month of a lot of change for me, not only was it a month marking me getting a year older, but it was also a month where I started going to my church’s Bible study (which is a huge step for me as I am inherently introverted and not good with people), as well as me taking my health seriously and getting not only a membership at my local gym but also hiring a personal trainer.
Now, if you guys don’t know (which I didn’t either until they told me the total) Personal Trainers are fucking expensive. Like hot damn. Because of it’s expensiveness and me not thinking about my finances when I was there getting assessed, my wallet took a nose dive into the not so happy lands. Due to not being able to grow money on trees, ya girl was forced to put herself on a book buying ban and cut back on several things in order to get back on track.

Now the buying ban happened towards the middle/end of June where I enlisted the help of my friends on the Bookish Collision Discord Server (click the link to join!) to keep me accountable. So the amount you see here is pre-BBB–which hurts my heart and wallet to look at cause, idk how that happened either. Since starting my BBB, I am however, proud to say that I have stuck with it and haven’t bought a single book. With that said though, my mind is blown at the sheer amount of books I got AFTER the ban, which according to my data sheet, 126 of the ebooks collected this month were free/after my ban. 
I know.
I honestly have no clue nor excuse to how this happened but ya girl ain’t even mad. Big shout out and thanks to Ruby over at Ruby’s Books, who has been on this book buying ban with me and has more than graciously taken on the role of being my freebies dealer! If you haven’t waddled to her side of the world yet I high key suggest you go do that! She is a complete gem and her content/work is a highlight to my day!

As always, before I get into the bounty of which my kindle and shelves cry out to in joy, let me preface this with I am a super frugal and hella cheap person. Most–if not all– of my purchases were deals from bookbub.com, amazon, audible, etc. which amounted to many of them being free, as well as through my carefully thought out monthly book budget as I have placed reading and supporting authors and the arts a priority when planning my personal finances. With that being said, take a look at my walk of shamelessness.
