Last day of the month, so I thought I'd check in to say that I bought nothing in May, for the second month this year. I'm holding at seven books on the year. If this looks like showing up in triumphalist mode, it isn't. I used to have a colossal problem (and have a colossal TBR as a result). My analogy is to friends who are alcoholics; even though they haven't had a drink in decades in some cases, they still self-identify as such and go to meetings. Backsliding is always a possibility, so I like to take stock. It does get easier, but I also remember months, years, on end where resolutions would be made to be broken in the near term.
Good luck to everyone who's trying, including me!
