This month I’ve been participating in the #ReadingMyLibrary Challenge. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve really appreciated the nudge to get back out to my library!
This month I didn’t read as many library books as I usually do since I started to read some ARCs. But I did get in five–two physical and three ebooks. But here’s how much money I saved from checking out books instead of buying them! (Prices according to Amazon.)
Ready Player One – $7.58
Born of Deception – $14.21
Ruin and Rising – $12.25
A Cold Legacy – $13.59
Dangerous – $9.99
Total Savings: $57.62
I feel pretty good about that! I encourage everyone to use local libraries! They’re such a great resource. They have all kinds of events and such happening all the time and, of course, a ton of books and movies for people to check out.
I love libraries but I never check out books because I love buying and owning them haha. It would definitely be cheaper and a space saver if I just checked them out from my library. What did you think of Ruin and Rising? Will you be posting a review?

I do too! But I like that I can use the library to first “try out” a book if you will. And I actually reviewed the whole Grisha Trilogy together. Here’s the link if you want to check it out: https://whatsshereading.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/the-grisha-trilogy-by-leigh-bardugo/

This challenge sounds so cool! I only ever borrow graphic novels from my local library as they are very pricey! Is the ReadingMyLibrary challenge only a month long?

Yeah it was, but I’m thinking about keeping track of how much I’m saving through the library even without it.

Yeah, it really does sound like a good idea! The challenge is a great way to get you saving, and from there it could be a more regular thing!
