But... so many of the new titles I have are filling out series that I realllyyy want to read... Arrgghh! I'm such a mess. 
Okay, got that off my chest  Now I'm off to go calibre-ing  maybe... |
The initial organization is the most time consuming, but buying sprees can take time to add. I always at least download them as I buy and add them to my temp for calibre folder. Then it may take a few days (or week or more sometimes) for me to get them actually added, the metadata fixed, and the book the way I want before I send them to my Sony. Plus I make multiple back-ups faithfully.
I also tend to take a closer look at the freebies I grab from this folder before I actually add them to Calibre to ensure it is something I truly want to read. I've tried to be more meticulous about what freebies/on-sale books I get this year, but sometimes it's just easier to grab them and look later.
