It's time for my end of the month wrap-up.
I bought two wishlist books in July, both using Google promotional credit, and spent $5 cash. My YTD total is 15 books for a cash outlay of $19.25. This is easy! Why didn't I do this years ago?
For comparison's purpose, at this time last year I had bought 46 books for $132. I'll also note a net TBR reduction of 18, including WIP. OD, PD and audio help keep this number flat; I won't be running out of books to read any time soon.

But I now have 154 books listed there. And the list just keeps growing. I suspect that in a year or three, the list will be so big that I'll probably get an notification every day. Adding to the list might only be a short-term solution to not buying too many ebooks. We shall see.

FWIW, I keep an upper limit on the number of books allowed on my Amazon wishlist. I go through it regularly and jettison books that no longer seem as appealing or that I realize I'll never quite feel like reading.
As with anything, once the number gets out of hand the utility drops precipitously. This is just me, of course.
