Reply to comment by Elco1998 in Buy books or borrow from library? by ladyluckyy777

As I said, if I borrow a book and it turns out I absolutely love it and I want to re-read it several times, then I buy it. I just don't want my bookshelves to have books on them that aren't special to me or are unread. I've moved twice with a 400+ book collection and I'm not doing that ever again, it's heavy, expensive and it limits the choice you have when deciding where to move. So now I'm down to +-40, and it feels a lot better. And I'm saving money and that's good too. Fingers crossed I'll have the money to own a house before I die. 🤞

400+ books? You must be a walking encyclopedia by now. Hahaha. Anyway. That's a lot of wood to be transporting. I think digital is the way for you. 😂

All the best on your house. I hope it works-out. It's certainly a far-reaching dream for me atm. Anyway...🤞 for you.
