As of 1/1/2023, here are my piles …

Physical Comics to Read: 188
Digital Comics to Read: 471
Trade Paperbacks/Graphic Novels to Read: 9
Books to Read: 119

TV Seasons to Complete: 104

My goal is to turn accumulation into a zero-sum game.  So, as I read, watch, and listen, I will post quick reviews.  I may cross-post some things to my other blogs, Pop Culture Affidavit and Required Reading with Tom & Stella, but for the most part, you’ll be seeing a lot of posts with short synopses and opinions using the following rating system:

• If I own it = keep, sell, donate, or trash
• If it’s rented/borrowed/streamed = worth buying, worth the rental, a waste of my time

The Rules

The rules are simple, but they may change, as may my goals.  For me, this is mostly about accountability and less about a crazy gimmicky rule, so I am going to read, watch, or listen to only what I only have with three exceptions:

• My new comics pull list, which will not be added to unless something is removed (this includes two series of trade paperbacks that I have been collecting).
• Theatrical movies.  I don’t go to the movies that often, so I will allow myself this.
• Anything that is a required borrow/rental/purchase for work or for a podcast.
