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?

    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.

      I pirate most books, but if I really like them then I’ll buy a physical copy to support the author, usually a nice hardcover. I got the Brandon Sanderson secret projects Kickstarter with hardcovers and epub which was the first time in a while that I’ve bought books before reading them… But he’s my favorite author, and I’ve loved all three so far so it’s been worth it
