Now I have a huge backlog of books I might never get around to reading or listening to, and am getting at least a new one every other day. This has to stop!
Welcome to the group!

I have 56 ebooks I bought in 2008 that I still haven't got around to reading...

But my TBR has been decreasing this year.

It's not buying anything that you don't really, really want, even if it's on a really good offer. Instead, wait for the books you really, really want to go on offer, and then buy them!

My average purchase price last year was £1.37. This year so far it's £1.36. I can wait for offers because I have plenty to read while waiting for special offers on the books I want. I have 686 books on my watchlist at uk.ereaderiq.com. Which is how I knew about a special offer on the books I've just bought.
