I can fortunately work from home these days - otherwise I'd have two hours a day of wasted commuting time, as I cannot read on the bus at all (I get terrible carsickness and although buses are better, I still cannot read on one; even trains are iffy although better, but trains are something I only ever use when travelling abroad).
And audiobooks are completely useless for me. I have trouble focusing on recordings of people speaking even when I can also watch them at the same time, but just listening is ... I had trouble with radio back when radio was still a thing people listened to (I suppose car people maybe still do? I don't really know!), I had enormous trouble with lectures at university, and I certainly cannot listen to audiobooks, audioplays etc.
Anyway, three days into February and I already succumbed twice yesterday - two books that were both on sale ($1.99 each) but both were of the "hmm, never heard of this but sounds potentially interesting" variety instead of wishlist books.
Ah well. I have four preordered books on the way in February, so that still leaves me with up to four slots for impulse buys and wishlist deals. And I stayed on the straight and narrow in January, with ten books bought (none of them above $2.99 at that).
