Here's what I need to work on:
I rarely, now, (although not never) fall for a cheap price I stumble across for a book that's not already on my wishlist. But I am a sucker for deals where you have to spend money first to save money second, as is typical with Kindle deals. It's not a disaster, especially when either the first or second transaction (or both) involve Big Four books that aren't going to get cheaper, except that I already have credit at Kobo and Google and BN. It's the outlay!
The majority of my purchases this year have involved some kind of deal or kickback or both. I'm already contemplating some resolution for next year for more stringent criteria than just deal + wishlist. It happens too often and as a result my TBR is going down at a glacial pace. And yes, P.T. Barnum obviously had my number, at least in regard to ebooks!
