161. Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-Earth by J.R.R. Tolkien, added 2019, sold unread, why do I keep buying Tolkien when I know I only like the core story?

Some of these numbers don't add up but I can't figure out where they're wrong.
163. Once Bitten: An Unofficial Guide to the World of Angel by Nikki Stafford. added 2015. Not finished but not strictly DNFed, either. I pulled what I wanted to read out of it--which was mostly the bits that gave me more stuff to read.
165. Chosen by Nancy Holder, added 2016. This one is a novelization, which I didn't know, and wasn't supposed to be on the mountain at all.

169. Sweet Sixteen by Scott Ciencin, added 2017Kinda cheated with this one and just read the beginning and end, 'cause I'm not into reading about child abuse. Between this and his Silent Hill work, I'm beginning to think Scott Ciencin needs therapy.
171. Haunted by Jeff Mariotte, added 2017172. The Big Book of Classic Fantasy, edited by Ann VanderMeer and Jeff VanderMeer, added 2019, DNF
173. Unnatural Magic by C.M. Waggoner, added 2019, DNF
174. Stranger to the Sun by Jeffrey J. Mariotte, added 2017
I will say that I'm getting much better at reading books as they come in. I think I've read or DNFed half to three-quarters of what I've bought this year.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. But counting single issues, I've read SIXTY-FIVE Buffy/Angel tie-in novels and comics, and read or partially read five nonfiction works. And I've still got twenty-four left! And I feel a slump coming on, although I'm fighting it with interesting folktales.

Thank you! I did not stay at TBR Zero for very long, it was maybe a week before I bought like 15 books. The good thing is that I immediately started reading them, AND I got an out of state ecard for Brooklyn Library, which was 50 bucks but has already paid for itself. I've already decided not to buy several books because they were available there and I didn't think I would want my own copy.
