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?

Yup same here. I have an extensive ebook collection that I’ve been putting together for a while. It helps that I only get them while they’re on sale so it’s actually not too bad (I tell myself)! But yes there are a ton of them.

I have a whole list of books waiting for price drops as well that get added to the pile. My general rule is that if it’s <$5 and it’s on the list I get it.
