Mid-month report. As usual, monthly deals meant a few purchases from the backlog. Unusually, some have been coming up on daily deals too.
So seven bought, 10 read and 7 more freebies discarded. My TBR is now at 797! Which is the lowest since 2016, but I suspect that the totals recorded in 2016 and before are considerable undercounts. In which case, working back from 2017 and considering documented changes in my number of unread books, 797 is the lowest since at least 2010!
I think it was giving up my SF magazine subscriptions that's really made the difference. But perhaps it was appreciating that special offers on books that merely look interesting should not be taken up.
