Basically I have two hobbies. I am both addicted to reading & buying gorgeous books. I want to have a nice library with classics to pass on to my future children. It just makes me happy seeing all those shelves.

So I prefer buying books in English since it’s the most spoken language but I prefer reading in my own language (Dutch). Is it weird to buy them in English but to borrow them from the library to read in dutch?

I just feel like I’m wasting my money because I don’t even read the specific books I bought and have them in case I want to re-read. But then I think spending money on books is never wasted.

Basically I want confirmation that I’m not wasting my money and maybe to know others do the same so I don’t feel bad lol

    True! Just always makes me feel good and some type of way 🥰 It’s like the harry potter books I have with the beautiful hard covers that I’ve read over a 1000 times in Dutch but just want to have on the shelf in the beautiful covers
