I mostly stick to the list I maintain on my tablet but I will sneak in a book I'm anxious to get to (MacRieve you're next!), then back to the list. My list is my way of ensuring that I eventually read everything I spend money on (thus making me more selective with bargains) and that I don't spend too much on a book I don't plan to read immediately. Right now my threshold for new purchases is $4, if it's not a Read-It-Right-Now book it gets parked on the wish list until the price drops below the current threshold. As far as old stuff, I'm way back in May 2011
Some of the stuff I bought in my new to digital days (post Agency) wasn't so good but I have run across some overlooked gems by working my way through the old stuff. I expect my average on the old stuff to improve as time goes on as I got pickier and better at finding the right bargains.
The list goes like this for unread books:
-Most expensive Contemporary
-Oldest Historical
-Paranormal/UF of Choice
-Oldest Contemporary
-Historical of Choice
-Most expensive Paranormal/UF
-Contempory of Choice
-Most expensive Historical
-Oldest Paranormal/UF
-then mixed in are Other (straight suspense/action/thriller), Category (HQN, etc.) and Erotica.
