Agree. I'm the same way.

Yes, I miss that as well. Though one of my libraries allows one to create a "watch list" of authors that they'll notify you if they purchase a book by that author. It seems to help a little?

ETA: I took a quick look and I've read 98 books so far this year and bought 30. But my TBR is down only three books.
ETA2: I also read a lot of public domain and they don't count, either.
ETA3: And of course library books rise to the top of the pile because of due dates.

Yes, they do. Which is why I'm reading some Nero Wolf right now.
