Oh, yes. However, you still deserve kudos for evens.
I had a fantastic start to the year, but blew it entirely during the 90% off madness at Kobo, to the extent that my goal is unachievable. Not unrealistic, but flatly unachievable.
I've bought only one book since, so obviously there's been a sea-change in my habits, which is the good news. I was also gratified that one of my Overdrive libraries bought a book I requested that was pushing $40 at Kobo and I'm going to try pursuing that strategy more often. I'm also checking the holdings at the local university library for wishlist books, which is more inconvenient but helps in that I know it's there. It might not preclude a purchase, but it does mean that I'm willing to wait until I'm close to reading a book before I decide.
