If I count the books bought but not available to me yet this month, I've bought a gross* of ebooks so far this year, and only read 40 or so. But I have also removed another 50+ from my TBR, because two of those 40 I've read have been calibre-created anthologies of short stories.

If I keep up this reading speed, I might just end 2014 with fewer books on my TBR than I started.

It's a good problem to have, but it does show a lack of will-power in the face of ebook bargains.


*Yes, really! My total bought is exactly 144!
