I love when E-books go on sale. I have a Kindle with my library holding some 50+ books and most all were bought when books I liked/was interested in went on sale. (The exception being the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. I read the first one when I bought the first book on sale, and I needed to know what happened next so I bought the other two books in the trilogy + the two novellas. Pro tip: the novellas come included with the books. Don’t waste your money like I did if you don’t have to. Unless of course you want to support the author, then which by all means, go make your library look pretty and full!)
