Do any of you just buy books to add them to your library?
Knowing you may not get to them for a while?
What do you do, do you only add it to your library if you read it?
Do you limit yourself when you see books and say you already have a waitlist at home?
Edit: typo
I used to hoard and display my books, thinking they represented me as a person. About 8 years ago I made a hard decision that I didn’t like my walls lined with shelves and I donated all of them except for a few that I couldn’t part with. Now almost everything I read is on an e-reader and my house only has a couple of occasional physical books out. I’m glad that I did it, since I prefer my new decor.
Awesome!
The only thing is, physical books are harder to censor and get rid of.
Forgot if I heard Dr. Cornel West say it or another person…
"Red, White & Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston is a romantic novel. Find out how two friends were forced to fake a friendship for political reasons, but their feelings deepened into a secret romance that challenges their lives and the world’s perception. https://bit.ly/445UfVI
I buy books, most of the times I read them. ebooks have been my salvation space wise, project Gutenberg saved me money wise, at least for the classics.
Don’t look at my spines. DON’T LOOK AT THEM
but yes, I’ll read books on my computer and then get a physical copy if I like it. I tell myself I get them so I can re-read them or lend them out, but I never do lol.
