I got a book about Murphy's Law.

We can also take comfort in knowing, what cannot go wrong, will never go wrong. Villains from fiction cannot leap out of imagination to cause chaos in the real world, for example. They stay in the book and our minds. Scooby Doo Where Are You? TV show reassured children that ghosts, zombies and demons are not real.

My recent purchase, I got a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD.

Oh boy so. 
I preordered Faecrates Tomes and Tea book set
I preordered Acrylipics Court of Thorns and Roses book set while it was still on sale.

I got the following books off of Mercari

The Fairyloot editions of A Magic Steeped in Poison Duology
Owlcrates version of Watermoon
The Bookish Box’s version of Behooved
Fairyloots version of The City of Stardust (Y’all really be selling this THAT ceap. I have her other book, The Bookshop below and it’s great. What Booktok considers good I will never understand. Not that I’m complaining because I got a steal on this but like.)
Illumicrates version of A dark and drowning tide (This was truly a steal price wise)
Salvacion Owlcrate edition (Again another absolute steal. Like y’all really be losing money pricing these special editions like this 💀)
Owlcrates The Teller Of Small Fortunes (Once again very cheap. Like girl you the only one who was selling a brand new unopened copy for 13 bucks. Everyone else wanted 40. Not that I’m complaining but like. You losing money)
Moonlight book box version of Everlong (this is actually gorgeous.)

Lastly I went ahead and got the Gods and Monsters Fairyloot set by the only reseller selling these at what I deemed a reasonable price. Now I can donate the damaged copy of the first book that I have..

This is it for me for fun purchases until I get paid again sadly (unless I get usable giftcards from other relatives later on today.). Thats why I loved this month because I got an extra pay week in it so I could do this.

To add on to this. I purchased the new Pokemon game for the regular switch. I’ll prob get the dlc next pay. Then using some gift cards I got the entire special edition set of The Blood Sworn Trilogy. These looked super cool when I saw them in Barns and Noble but I didn’t want to pay that much back then to get them.

Ordered two My Little Pony funko figures to decorate my new audio setup I've got planned, plus an early 90's rave CD.

More LED light bulbs (to replace 10 yrs old LE ones). Turns out I also need Edison Screw as well as bayonet, also 40W equiv. (where 60W equiv. is too bright)
