Purchases, Aug-Nov 2011

OK, OK, I let things side around Book Addiction HQ, and I didn't log some months of purchases. Sue me.

Going forward, though, I'll be combining purchases into monthly reports - they're not great reading on their own, but I do feel a need to keep track somehow. And since it's my blog, and since I've proven myself incapable of note-taking about purchases any other way, I'll post monthly.
