Oh abso-booking-lutely!
I've already come up with a way to prevent this from happening to me:
Reading one book at a time, keeping it if I love it and selling it if it's mediocre or I simply don't like it.
You're welcome to take notes, Sunshine! 🌞
PS: Keep up the interesting comments.

I do this by downloading Kindle ebooks and continually adding books on my "To Read" list on Goodreads. It takes a while before I have time to read them.

Hmm, I like having the book as a physical item, also helps reducing screen time.

I prefer physical too, but that can get more expensive and take up a lot more space (one day I'll be okay with that). I also don't consider an actual Kindle as screen time since there's no light emitted.

More expensive for sure, but I'm starting to love the idea of having a mighty-fine shelf filled with books I love.
It's going to happen, I can feel it.

Related to this is the concept of an anti-library, the collection of your unread books.
I have a lot of unread books on my shelf and it reminds me of what I don't know yet and keeps me curious.

Hm, that'd only increase pressure on me; An ever-growing mountain of paper and wisdom, growing more fierce by the month, only to bury me in the end.
