I have managed to gain ground in May, too, despite spending most of the month on one book (the 1100-page Ash: A Secret History by Mary Gentle), and some early purchases. A few short books at the end of the month, and my extra-curricular short stories and non-fiction have helped me recover the lost ground. I should finish another anthology today, too.
I'm most pleased about resisting the Hugo packet (I think it would still work out cheaper to buy the individual books I want) and that Nebula Humble Bundle, which both would have devastated my TBR.
