At least at this time of year, we'll soon be able to draw a line under our annual purchases and resolve on doing better next year.

I've just managed to get back to evens for the year, after a bit if a push, and I'm trying to stick to one out one in from now on. I've just got to hope I can read enough to allow for some Christmas sales. I'm already postponing a kindle monthly deal book and the Phoenix pick (which is free, but I still count freebies.)

All true. It happened so quickly that I really didn't even get a chance to realize what I was doing until it was pretty much over. And I've now got about 65 hours of audio books to read that I didn't have yesterday morning. (That's in addition to the 80-100 hours that were already on my current TBR, of course.)
Really, I shouldn't be able to log on to Amazon or Audible without a responsible adult present.
