It's October! I'm back under budget!

And I've finished all my unread books bought back in 2006/2007!

But my TBR is nearly 30 books up on the start of the year.

Two out of three isn't too bad. I'm clearly not going to get my TBR down to 700 by the end of the year. Currently my hope is just to break even, and get back down to 750.

[EDIT: Counting the subscriptions that came in at end September/1st October, my TBR is up 30 on the year. I expect to read about 50 books in the next three months, and my subscriptions will add another 10 books to my total (Lightspeed Magazine, F&SF, Asimov's, Analog, Grantville Gazette). So if I can keep my additional purchases to under 10 books, I'll manage to break even for the year!

Now there's a good challenge!

My challenge for the next three months: Buy no more than 10 'discretionary' books !]
