My reading has been going well - 40 books so far this year.

And at the moment, my TBR pile is down 41 on the year!

After my disasterous January, in terms of restricting my ebook purchases, I had a successful February, with only one (non-subscription) purchase, and I'm not actually counting that until March and later.

So for the next few hours I'm less than 14 dollars over budget. But March was already a heavy month for subscriptions, and the Baen Monthly bundle. Adding in my Kickstarter LightSpeed purchases takes it well over budget.

And adding in all my March purchases will also bring my TBR back above 800 again. But I'll only note them when they actually come in, so perhaps I'll be able to keep below 800 all month. I should certianly be back below 800 again by the end of the month.


But I'm hopeful that I can keep additional spending in March down to a minimum.

And looking ahead at the rest of the year, my planned book purchases will leav me around $70 under budget for the year. I intend trying to keep that at that level, so that I can take advantage of any good offers towards the end of the year.
