Did you buy them at full price from your wishlist? This is a common error.
You (presumably) already have lots of previously bought ebooks that are still unread (your TBR pile). You SHOULD NOT buy from your wishlist unless your TBR pile is reduced to the size you're happy with, OR the item on the wishlist is on special offer, e.g. Kindle Daily Deal, or a better than 60% discount.
The one big advantage of having a large TBR is that one can afford to wait for books on one's wishlist to become available through a special offer or discount.
Exceptions can be made for the ocassional book from a favourite author/series that you are going to read immediately.
Good luck! I know how hard it is to resist buying lovely ebooks.
