Me, too. But cleaning out from the initial OMG-free-must-have-them-all stage is usually a good reminder not to one-click

Ditto. I have the first 2 but at the rate I'm going it will be a year or 2 before I look at them. Now if the price had been $0.99 I would have caved.

Yep, the tedious process I kept putting off for like 3 years has been a wakeup call. It cured me from the oh-what-the-heck one clicks.

I have over 400 purchased books I haven't even read yet, there is no need to add more to the already large free pile.

Yep. I keep looking at sales like those and then I think about all those books I bought already that are still way down the list. I am currently reading a book I bought in 2011. And I only accidentally stumbled over it while resorting my kindle collections.

But unfortunately like you, 99 centers have become my new freebie one click addiction.

Sigh.

It may be helpful to have the first post explain the Cozy Mystery and the type publication you would like. I found the parts and pieces below from
Wikipedia:
Spoiler:
Cozy mysteries, also referred to simply as "cozies," are a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence are downplayed or treated humorously, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community.

Cozies virtually never dwell on sexuality or violence, or employ any but the mildest profanity.

Avoidance of explicit sex and violence, emphasis on puzzle-solving over suspense, a small-town setting, and a focus on a hobby or occupation are all frequent elements of cozy mysteries. The precise boundaries of the sub-genre remain vague, however, with the work of authors such as Aaron Elkins and Philip R. Craig considered borderline cases.
Awesome! Okay who wants to start a Cozy Freebie/Deal Thread? Any Volunteers? Terisa?

I'm trying to figure how to get out of that stage. It's an addic...(I can't even say the word). Clearly the MYK page wasn't created for addicts. Or by anyone with a remote sense of organization.

My Kindle collection is seriously out of control. And there's no way I can read all the books I have in one lifetime. Ah well. At least I'll die trying!

I'm not sure you truly ever come out of that phase. In fairness, the likes of ENT and Bookbub have got much better at spreading the word about free/ bargain books - it's a bit like offering wine to an alcoholic. What chance do we stand?

My library is a little over 4700 with 4000 still unread. I've been reasonably picky about what I add, a very large percentage of my freebies being previously published backlist titles. Between my custom "shelf" column and virtual libraries I see no reason to purge anything. I like to think of myself as glom-ready with all the backlist stuff.

My problem is I missed a book I would love to have gotten for free a while back that hasn't been free since (at least, according to ERIQ, and they would know, right?), and I have this fear of missing something that I might really want to read. I blame my problem on ONE BOOK (which I of course ended up buying).
