I must be a weird animal. I don't hoard at all. The most books I bought was 6 in a row before 2 weeks leave with no internet. One of them I still haven't read (bought 2 years ago) but since then I lost interest. I found out that if I buy just because there is promo then I am not likely to read any time soon if at all. So I go from one to another buying what I feel like reading at the moment, and not because I don't know what I may feel like reading in some future. There was a lesson for me in this, last year I bought 4 books for holiday, started one of them and abandoned because it was not good. That put me off the rest as well. I came back to them much later because I had nothing else to read and one of them was for me the best book I read in a looong time.
So, I just buy one by one depending on my mood of the moment. Bought recently Misery by Stephen King because of promo and now I don't feel like reading it. Tonight I will buy Borgia's Family (roughly translated title I guess) by Mario Puzo. Looking forward to it because it's for immediate consumption.
