It might be said I buy them enough that Amazon and Chapters/Indigo could send me a Christmas and a Birthday card every year and our local library might put out a a lost person bulletin out on me.

I use my book buy as a mental health thing. When I’ve had to put up with a lot on any given day or week, I sit down and do an Amazon order..I look through my wish list, get some used, some new and have fun. I always feel better after that 🙂

Lol! Depends, sometimes I re read books I have and sometimes I read books I have and haven’t read yet.
But if I see a book I want or someone tells me about a book that tends you lead to me buying more then one book.
So I try and watch how often I buy
