But really, I only pay attention to paid books. Right now my TBR is down by 1 book and $0.24 for 2018. Freebies I generally don't have enough invested in for it to bother me if they stay on my TBR forever and library books are transient enough that they don't matter either. Most of my freebies are on a second TBR list so they don't even show up most of the time. Only when I don't want to read anything on my main one.
I track Library books in my "Books Bought in <year>" category. Because even if I didn't buy them, I invested the time and energy in acquiring and/or reading them. So my numbers are a bit skewed because of it. OTOH, keeps my cost/book down.
