March Reading Savings & YTD Totals

March reading recap, but budget-friendly!

This month I read 16 books, including one ARC and one gifted copy, which meant zero cost for those reads. Using library access and comparing to retail prices, I saved a total of $183.78 in March alone.

That brings my year-to-date book savings to $439.80, and honestly, it just reinforces how valuable the library has been for me. I’m still able to keep up with my reading goals, explore new releases, and stay consistent without the cost adding up.

I already have a strong TBR lined up for April, and I’m so grateful to have a library that supports my reading habit like this.

If you’re trying to read more without spending more, this is your reminder to fully use your library.
