My overall, long-term goal is to buy less books outside of the annual book sale (because I can never give up that event) and to buy less on impulse.

I bought less in 2015 but ended up reading less so the TBR did not diminish. Interesting books for review keep coming from publishers as well. I do not have a solution and try not to worry too much about the TBR boxes. There are bigger issues in my life.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-59729299283680328432015-12-14T12:23:51.724-08:002015-12-14T12:23:51.724-08:00Col, Paring down the TBR is much easier than not a...Col, Paring down the TBR is much easier than not adding to it.
