December and End of Year Wrap Up

3,000 pages per month : Met this every month. WIN!
Ebooks - TBR Reduced by 10; Current: +172
Complete fail although half the number of purchases as last year.
Audiobooks - TBR Reduced by 10; Current: -1
Complete Fail. I was -13 until the final Member Sale at Audible, so progress as all but one purchase was part of series already reading.
Magazines - TBR Reduced by 10; Current: -2
Fail, but will make a special effort next year. I cancelled all subscriptions so at least it is not going up.

Standalone Short stories and Novellas: 101 read! Goal is 100. WIN!!!

Completed 7 series which varied between 3 and 55 books.
Diskworld - Terry Pratchett
87th Precinct - Ed McBain
Dresden Files - Jim Butcher
Shannara world - Terry Brooks
Myrtle Clover series - Elizabeth Spann Craig (up to what I owned-book 12 I think)
Fables of Tonight - Mike Resnick (RIP Mike!)
Chronicles of St Mary's - Jodi Taylor

So, overall, good reading progress but too many purchases. Need to get that TBR down! Goal next year is to continue to try to limit purchases to authors/series I already have that require fill-in and only when on a dirt cheap sale. I will continue another year of avoiding borrowed books to focus on books that I own.
