Ah, but don't we all. Personally, I don't count the eBook if it's only to get the Audible book cheaper. And while I count the Audible books on my Challenge, I don't actually have a goal to do more than reduce spending. Which I'm doing by doing a lot of re-reading this winter.

Speaking of..... I just went to Audible to check on something and got a pop-up saying I was eligible for a one-month free trial. Alrighty. Can't imagine why, but I grabbed it while it was on offer.
Well, heck. Always nice to get a freebie.

But I really came here to confess. As Dazrin said above, visiting your wishlist is dangerous and the buying slope is a slippery one. I had a little ebook settlement credit left at B&N and I decided I might as well burn it. It almost paid for a wishlist book that neither Kobo nor Google lists. Again, I think a good use of the credit, but this has to stop. I've gone from no purchases in January (terrific!) to three books in two volumes for $2 in February (fine, actually) to three books for $11.50 in March so far. And I still have another Google coupon....

This knocks my TBR reduction back to only four. But I do plan to read all my purchases in the near term.
Focus, issybird, focus. You can control this.
