At the beginning of the month, Cait of Paper Fury asked Should We Blog About Backlist Titles More Often? and it really got me thinking about the books I buy.
As a book blogger, because I get sent ARCs to review, and I'm not the quickest of readers, if I stacked my review TBR in one big pile, it could probably take me to the moon - and that's not including the eProofs I have, because they're unstackable. I exaggerate, but I have a lot of review books. So many, that I do struggle to keep up with them. But I don't get sent review books of everything I want to read. Sometimes I'm denied, sometimes I don't have a contact, sometimes I don't know about a book until after it's published, sometimes the books are only published in the US and there's no way to get a review copy. I buy a huge amount of books - not counting the finished copies I buy after reading review copies.
