I have 287 unread books on Calibre (and that's not accounting for omnibuses technically being more than one book).

I'm banning myself from buying any more ebooks until Hallowe'en!

So I've told myself I'm not going to start reading any new fanfics until I've caught up on all the ones I'm already reading.
Caught up on three fanfics. 19 to go, though admittedly most of them only have 1-2 unread chapters each.

Actually, after making this post, I decided to see if there was a way with Calibre templates to keep track of chapters read.

Another gift card splurge has seen me buy 22 books in the last 6 weeks, taking me to 55 bought for the year versus 152 read. Time to get that gap back over 100

I did good and bad this month. Up until the James Bond special, I accumulated far fewer books/audiobooks than usual. Still more than I'm reading, but very close to breaking even. Huge discounts are my problem, but I'm doing much better restricting it currently to authors I already know and read. This month only 2 books were authors I didn't know (yeah, most of you know China Mieville, but Kraken is my first).

Well, as referenced in another thread, I just recently bought 450 books (already published) and EVERYTHING in the future, for the duration of my life - which could end before I finish this post (thank you to the member of my family who might have pushed the 'Submit' button); or it could end at some other moment. All this from one publisher.

Plus, the 2 or so dozen titles purchased from Amazon, and the 3 or 4 titles from Kobo. And one that was kindly given to me.


So, I have a lot of ebooks to read before I die which, as I said, could end at

This reminded me of Steven Wright: " "I know when I am going to die because my birth certificate has an expiration date."

About a month ago, I was in the hospital for a few days (thankfully, a suspected major issue turned out to be a minor transient one). At one point I clearly remember thinking "but I just bought a new cozy mystery and haven't even gotten it loaded onto my Kobo yet!"

That's a good reason to have one's favorite ebook with you - whether one ends up above ground or below it.

My wife always said all of my books were going with me in the casket. I bet they wouldn't all fit though.
I wonder if she will put my eReader in there with me.
