A while ago I confessed that I have a problem: I buy too many books. Well, I’m actually doing okay with that at the moment, I think. Possibly I’m blanking out epic shopping trips, but I think the joy of getting people stuff for Christmas is mostly keeping me in check (that and the fact I have most of the books on my more recent wishlists). No, my other problem is… starting a ton of books and never finishing them.
Well, not never, but suffice it to say there’s half a dozen on each ereader, about seven stacked by my bed, a library book I should be reading on the floor…
I need to incentivise clearing my currently-reading list, and then I need to incentivise catching up with my ARCs. (Come on, Harlequin MIRA, I want to read Taste of Darkness. If you approve me for that I will probably read the whole trilogy in a glorious rush. That’s what I do with Maria V. Snyder’s trilogies. I don’t want to wait any longer!)
Any ideas?!
I will give you Amazon vouchers as long as you finish all current books AND don’t spend them before Christmas!!
I can’t finish forty-odd books before Christmas, Mum! I’m looking for a bit more of a broken down incentive than that!
OK, £5 Amazon voucher per 5 books finished??
You’re on! I assume this counts *only* books/books in a series I’m already partway through?
Indeed!!
Or I’d be broke!!
Then perhaps I’d better post said list!
