I just sneaked in a last-minute purchase so it counts towards 2015 rather than 2016. I feel a bit dirty.
I still finish with my TBR down 1, although I did have to use some emergency short stories. |

I just picked up my last book of the year. On a Destroyer's Bridge by Holloway H. Frost.

My final pbook order was last night, The Anatomy of Error: Ancient Military Disasters and Their Lessons for Modern Strategists. So this is one day into my new regimen.

My 2015 totals:
Books purchased 26 Total spent $20.64 Average $0.79 I'm proud to say I did well this year in both monies spent plus titles read (17 paid + 5 free + 6 library =28). Yes, my TBR increased by 8 books (bought but not read) but I'm not going to quibble over a few Washingtons. |

Happy New Year, everyone!
I am starting the new year with a mere 784 unread ebooks, and 4 unread pbooks (gifts). Now to work on getting that TBR down below 700! Although I fear it will rise above 800 in the short term, due to the need to spend my Amazon credits. |

Happy New Year! Here's to as abstemious a year as each poster would like; may our struggles be mild, our temptations few, and our resistance strong.

Happy New Year, everyone. I finished up the year by buying 15 more books than I read, a bad way to trend. True, some of those were part of a bundle, but that's still not going to offset the number enough to get me going in the right direction. OTOH, I did much better overall on keeping track of books bought, and of how much I spent. So, all in all, not bad, but not as good as it should be.

I've started on spending my credits. 31 books bought so far for £50.
I'll be keeping most of the credit until towards the end of the month, in case there are really good daily deals, etc. |

It looks like you, too, will be spending for the year in the first six weeks.

I was *very* good last year and only bought about 80 books, most were deal-priced.
Well, I was good until the end of November... then it all went terribly wrong after that with those extra credits for no-rush shipping ![]() I had even managed to take my TBR pile to below 200 ![]() |

Approximately 55 books bought at a cost of £75 during 2015. £0.99-£1.99 books in the sales are my favourite kind. Consequently just started this year buying 15 books in the 12 days of Kindle sale for £21.
I'm good at only buying books on sale, but I don't have a huge amount of spare cash and am generally very careful with my spending in general. So the fact I've still got a ton of unread books to wade through and don't need these books isn't terribly clever. ![]() |
