Overall, I've been better at buying than I was last year. But still get caught up in it sometimes. Sigh. The good news is, my TBR is down to ~85. The bad news is, that's by not putting later volumes of series that I haven't gotten to yet in there. For example, the re-read of Harry Potter series? Only book #1 is in there. Only 4 of the Georgette Heyer's are in there, with at least a dozen or so waiting to be put in there when I have these read. So the number is artificially low compared to how some folks count. OTOH, if it's a new series, there is NO point putting later books in there until I've read the first, since I may well abandon the series entirely. (Especially true for books gotten from Baen bundles, where I don't really know about the series until I've sampled it, but I sometimes have extras in it that I didn't really buy, they came with one or the other bundle. )
