I feel I should adjust my target rather than just throwing the towel in. Maybe 1.5x my purchases, instead of 2x? Or count the bundle as 1 purchase instead of 16? I don't know. I'm still thinking about it. Certainly I'd count it as a defeat if I read less than 1x my purchases, which is now quite close.

Also, I've read exactly 5 books every month, so far this year, and I'm not sure I want to break that trend. My brain is possibly broken.

I met my goal but I skipped a lot of pages/chapters to get to it. So I will probably make a lower goal next year. Perhaps number of pages rather than number of books
