OK, I'm totally powerless over my addiction. I was doing well for the last couple of years, reading more than I acquired. But this year it's completely out of control. I've acquired >200 books already this year, and I'm not anywhere close to reading that many! In point of fact, I won't manage to read that many for the whole year.
Part of the problem is that I do count books that I get for free, either through the library, or because they're freebies of one sort or another. But while I could hide the problem a bit by not counting those, in fact they are books I want to read, not books that just fall my way. (I long ago stopped getting every freebie that came around!)
