      I don’t like those. Anyway, I’ve found it’s the content that affects the value I get from the book. Doesn’t matter how many times I read it. If it struck a chord, I’ve got it all the first time. If it didn’t, I can read it multiple times and keep forgetting major parts. And I think your funds are your business and you should stop projecting like people don’t know they spent money like obviously it’s intentional lol so pointing it out is not a big deal

    Protip for big book collections with lots of series; have a shelf or 2 just for the 1st book in every series, with a post it (or nonadhesive note to preserve the paper) tucked in the first page that says which crate in the attic/under the bed/etc you've stashed the rest!
    Helps with freeing up space for individual books which you need priority access to, and i usually do it once a series surpasses 3 books, so i have a trilogy shelf, but as soon as the 4th book hits, i upgrade it to this system 😅

      you're paying thousands of dollars for high quality shelves, not even some millionaires could afford that.

    I've moved house a LOT and one time my mum had to pack our place up by herself and she counted all of our books. We had 3000 books as a family of 3. We're now down to about 500 across two homes. Life is much better now we keep our library in the public library lol!
