I'm hanging in, but I've used up my early lead. I've just started the sixth book of my mini-challenge (RBR, "12 TBR books you've had for at least a year"), meaning I've made some headway in the Ent cemetery. In addition, finishing this book will mark two series I've "put to bed" this year, catching up with completed series (Staked and Dog Days). That's not all I've read, of course, but being the smaller goal and having a distinct checklist, it's the easiest to track.

What I'd like to do is finish enough physical books to move one full stack from a wobbly spot into storage - or at least into the spot where the RBR challenge books currently rest. If I count it strictly, that's about 20 books, but a more realistic count is more like 35 - to include a couple of subsidiary stacks of "gonna get to these Real Soon Now" books. I've got some extra incentive on one of those, as it's written by an author I've recently corresponded with and finishes a series.

Of course, the damning thing is that I can make an excellent case for why almost any of the books in my stacks should be next on my list...and too many good choices is almost as bad as no choices at all. It's the old "analysis paralysis" problem, and usually winds up in me sticking with New Shinies instead of digging into the older stacks...
