I did not buy a single book this month, and will resist myself buying more during October too. Although I have made made up my mind to to buy at least five books next month on my birthday.

I spent this weekend to deeply (and ruthlessly) study my TBR and wish list for a long awaited clean-up, and I was successful to cut down the number of some freebies and other books which I bought earlier but have no mood to read them. I did not delete those books, but zipped and uploaded to my cloud space, so I don't see their faces for a while. Although I had expected to cut down my TBR upto 800 books, but I feel I am greedy person.

Anyhow, I reached to a somewhat decent statistics as below:

99 books finished during the year.
TBR - 988 Ebooks, 23 Pbooks, 38 in Wish list.
Books bought this year - Ebooks 13, Pbooks 0, Freebies 24.

Now my goal will be to keep my TBR below 1000 at any cost.
Another month of the year has passed. It was satisfatory one, as I could finish another 10 books from my TBR. Only one book bought during the month, and no freebies added strictly.

Now I have reached a total of 109 books read this year. 11 books to go for the annual target of 120, which I will comfortably achieve.

TBR - 982 Ebooks, 21 Pbooks, 38 in Wish list.
Books bought this year - Ebooks 16, Pbooks 0, Freebies 24.
