What's the fun in that?

I went through last year and deleted a bunch of the freebies I'd gotten and the books I bought on sale. Read the first chapter of most and if they didn't grab my attention, out they went. I have been pretty good this year in only buying books that I actually do want to read.

I do have about 850 unrated books in Calibre (which are the ones I need to read or reread), but over 400 of those are from the magical Harlequin sale (how could I pass up books for a nickel?) I've put a small dent in the ones from that sale, but just a small one.

I read between 200 to 300 book a year, so I actually don't consider my TBR pile too out of control. Or I am the queen of justification or denial, take your pick
