I remember this thread from a few years back, and I can't see that anyone has posted anything recently, so I'm giving it a comeback!
As the title says, I've got tons on my Kindle and physical books, but whenever I seem to see one on Amazon for 99p I never seem to resist, even though I've got loads to get through!
Anyone else in?

Gosh yes... I have a5/6 physical books I'm starting to work through and over 100 unread books on my kindle. I hate to think how many are on my am@zon list (hundreds) but occassionally I'll filter by price and then buy 10 or so more... so I have to stop this until I actually read the ones I have!

I started this again at the new year. So far I've read 4 books and finished an audio book.
I've discovered I'm not as keen on audiobooks, and kindle books arent for me. I prefer my physical books.
