I'm very happy with my 2021. I bought just 27 books, and have started 22 of them (finished 19). Only 2 were in paper, both non-fiction hardbacks, and one was also bundled with a PDF, which is what I'm actually reading (also both in the started-but-not-finished group - one is a very long listicle type coffee-table book that I'll be inching through for ages, and the other I just haven't wanted to read so much because it is in paper).
I read 72 books, well over twice as much.
Including freebies and loans, my unread count is still slightly up (79 total books in), but not by much, and I've decided I don't care about freebies. They aren't doing any harm. If I want to read them, I can; if I don't, I won't.
I guess I'm saying I think I might be cured.
Or, to put it another way, I have accumulated so many unread books already that it's increasingly ridiculous to buy more, especially if I'm not going to read them immediately.
