Less than two days remain in 2015, so let's see how I did this year.

My goals for 2015:
  1. To read my 54 unread ebooks from 2005 and 2006.
  2. To spend no more than £25/month on ebooks on average over the year.
  3. To reduce my TBR list in calibre to below 700.

The first I have competed. My oldest unread bought ebook was bought 29 January 2007.

The second I will complete. I still have £7.99 unspent from my 2015 budget, and I shall not exceed my £300 budget for the year.

The third I have utterly failed at. My TBR currently stands at 778, and is likely to end the year above 780.

As to the number of books read in 2015: Not as many as 2014, but still a good number. I think I'm going to end the year with my total at 226.

I'm setting myself similar challenges for next year, but in a different order:
  1. To finish 2016 with my TBR below 700
  2. To read my 75 unread ebooks bought before 1st July 2008
  3. To spend no more than £20 per month on average

I'm confident I can manage the second. I think I might manage the third, although it will be tight. Unless there's some amazingly good bundle during 2016, I think I'll manage the first goal this time.
