I Still Love Getting New Books But I’m So Picky About Buying Anything If I’m Not At Least A Bit Certain I’ll Actually Enjoy The Story - Blog Posts

3 months ago

Truly miss it when people picked books based on the information, or because it captured their eye at the store, or because it was a gift. Now we see aesthetic over the top covers and limited editions for 30 - 50 euros somewhere on social media and buy it for the looks of it. We don't even read most of our books anymore. We just buy them to have them to fill a room. Breaking the spines is a crime now, too, for some reason, as if we didn't buy the book ourselves to use them and read them. Why do we treat books like they are artefacts in a museum not to be touched and to be hoarded?
