That is interesting. But I also don't keep track of how much I spend on books individually.
I do tend to read my autobuy authors sooner rather than later, at least their new releases. That's the only way I was able to justify to myself paying agency pricing for their books. Plus they all still are autobuy authors for a reason. The few historical authors I autobuy are the only usual exception.
I am also trying to work in more of the Harlequin Treasury titles I just HAD to own (even if the great bulk of them were mostly 5¢ or 49¢). In addition to my New TBR pile, I have an entire 3 column page of rereads I want to get to.
I've been doing the various reading challenges at AAR for the past few years (started in 2010) and I find that helps clear out some of the titles which have sat in my TBR pile for a long time. I think the titles which have now been in my TBR pile the longest are probably SB's Ricochet (which as I said isn't physically IN the pile
) and Nora Roberts' Cirlce Trilogy which I've owned since its initial release. I have books which were released earlier, but they are newer to me than those 4.
