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

    I’m half Dutch and no, I don’t think that’s weird.

    Just make sure they will be worth something in the future, otherwise you’re just a crazy hoarder 😆
