The lament of all of us in this thread. Having looked over the numbers again, if I don't buy any books except those already planned, I should be back inside my budget on 1st August, 2014.
This isn't going as well as I'd hoped. If a good enough bargain comes along, I just go for it. I am, at least, resisting individual purchases.
OTOH, getting the entire back catalogue (48 issues, 10 of which I already own) and a five-year subscription (60 issues) to a good SF/Fantasy magazine for $1.34 per issue (instead of the normal subscription price of $2.99 per issue)
is a very good deal indeed.
I think I shall try to read each new issue as it comes out, along with one back issue each month. That way I'll eventually catch up with the back catalogue (in 2018 or so.), before my subscription runs out.
The back catalogue, when I get hold of it, will bring my TBR back up to the 800 mark. But not over! So from a TBR point of view, I'm doing OK. Granted, a great number of those taken off the TBR were short stories.
So many good books to read! What a great "problem" to have!
