Bundleer. Ongoing attempt to get value-for-money from bundles by spreading the cost over books read. OK is under £5 (the price of an average ebook), Good is under £2 per book.
7.
The Wonder Years. Re-read 1 formative SF/F work published in each year from 1970. An exercise I am doing elsewhere that I think I will track here.
