Thanks for the various kind and thoughtful words. Two of the books were books in a series I'm following, and the third was by an author I really like, and was in the bundle. I'm not counting the other four books in the bundle that I already owned. I could have just bought the one book, I suppose, for $6, instead of the the three for $15, but I would eventually want the other two, so....

And now you know (if you didn't before) why I started this thread. On the positive side, I've read over 160 books and discarded (as uninteresting or already read) another 30 or so books from my TBR list, so I'm currently running at 201 ebooks added and 192 removed from my TBR list this year. If I can restrain myself over the next three months, I should end the year with fewer books on my TBR list than I started the year with.

I anticipate less of a problem next year. What's really blown my ebook buying this year and last year have been massive sales at Fictionwise. And I think now there's just not a lot left at Fictionwise that I want to buy, even if they do have another really good sale!
