I'm still accumulating books/audiobooks faster than I read or listen, and I don't think my spending is really much less than last year when I actually tabulate everything including the cost of Kindle Unlimited, Baen Bundle and even my Audible credits. Granted, I'm getting 3 audiobooks free in addition to the books I'm reading, but it is distracting me from reading books I already own and haven't read.
I've bought 24 ebooks/audiobooks this year and read 1 (Starship Grifters...it's Bob's fault), so I'm +23 for new purchases 2015 TBR. This year I'm counting craft and cookbooks - Once I make at least one thing from it, I can tick it off as 'read'. I just tend to accumulate them to look at. Gotta stop doing that.
On the plus side, I sold some cookbooks and have those Amazon Gift Cards so have more money for ebooks without tucking into budget.
