Yes I struggle too, I have alot of unread books but I feel an anxiety when I dont buy more. Its the anxiety of not owning the book that clutters my mind just as well as their content.

First of all: reading books and buying books are two seperate hobbies ;).

But I feel the same struggle. I have piles of unread books, every once in a while I try to completely finish all books before I buy new ones. The least amount of unread books since 2008 I had was 16. Now I am around 50 or 60 or so. It’s a neverending story (which is also a great book haha).

I used to set my Goodreads goal way to high, so I wasn’t enjoying reading anymore, I just wanted to finish. I am actually rereading a lot of books from that period, because I never really enjoyed them.

Reading is weird, I want to read slow, so I can enjoy, but I also want to read faster cause there’s so many books I want to read.
