Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

Just two new additions this week. Not 100% sure if this slow-down is due to fewer releases of interest or HMV cutting their 20% discount so I'm being more circumspect. Maybe it's a bit of both. Still, I have at least one or two titles preordered for next week... and the week after... and the week after that... and the week after that... So, yeah, there's no danger of my collection's growth stopping entirely.

Number of titles in collection: 3,586 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 987 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,599 [up 2]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 488 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 8,620 [up 2]

Fiction

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
11 The Adventure of the Naval Treaty

"The end" of Memoirs, for me right now. There is one more story, The Final Problem, but I've already read it — not that it doesn't merit revisiting, but as I'm currently on a mission to finally have read all the Holmes stories at least once, and I've still got 27 short stories and a novel to go, my time is better spent elsewhere at present.
