I was doing fine post-Random House's capitulation, but I've had a major stumble. The Heyer sale got me. Far worse, I know nothing of Heyer and bought twelve books on spec, which is a major no-no. My only mitigating factors are that I figured the mysteries were a safe bet as I like period detective stories and I was cagey enough to purchase only one of the regency romances at first, so I could try before I took the plunge. I'm relieved to say that while I see that they're very good of the type, with witty dialogue and terrific period detail, they're still not my kind of thing. So I kept a setback from escalating into a full-out debacle.
However, while my original plan for 2011 was to get my ebooks-purchased to ebooks-read ratio down to 1:1, that's no longer possible. I'd have to read 30 purchased ebooks by the end of the year which would essentially eliminate public domain, library books and pbooks. Not happening.
