Ebook Buying Addicts' Support Thread

[DrNefario]

I quite often put the monthly deal books on my wishlist and then take the whole month to decide whether to buy them. I bought one at about 10pm on the 31st. And maybe shouldn't have. I'm not doing so well on the "read everything I buy" front, either, and this was yet another fantasy book for the huge pile of unread fantasy books. I probably could have managed without it.

On the other hand, I have only bought 14 books so far, and the most expensive was £2.54. I could afford to be a bit more generous supporting the industry during this crisis.

This month or this year?

(And I'm actually serious. There have been months where I've bought more than 14 books by now.)


If this year, that's doing pretty well. I'm up to 32 bought this year, four of them this month. Of the 28 bought Jan-May, I've read all but six, and those six are all books in series where I haven't goy that far in the series yet.

Sorry, yes, this year. It's good, but I've only read 30 books, so with my target of reading twice what I buy I'm still only one book from the limit. (I've had an absolute ton of freebies, too, so it's a good thing I'm not worrying about those this year.)

I’ve bought fifteen books this year, although that counts two different translations of War and Peace as one book. I figured it as one book, as I was only going to read it once, although I did some back-and-forthing. And, yay me! I’ve finished. So I’ve caught up through March and am reading my April purchases.

I purchased three books this year for a total of $10.97 reading just one.

I haven't been reading as much recently so I haven't bought many e-books. Maybe that's the secret!!
