Even with rampant cheating* I dont think I have a chance of meeting my main goal of reading twice as many books as I buy. I've just been less concerned about expenditure this year. Comparing reading to some of my other hobbies, it seemed unfair to be penny-pinching here, when I get a lot more out of it for a lot less money.
I'll probably downgrade my goal, as I did last year, but next year I think I'll drop that target.
*I didn't count the 125-book + 5 magazine Battletech bundle towards my purchases. My previous rules should have meant it counted as 24 purchases + 101 freebies.
