Ugh, the dilemma of spending the $18 on a hardback book because you want the feel of the book or $5-6 for the ebook because you're hella broke...

Buying Books On A Daily Basis

Oh no, I did it again. I bought books today. Four, to be precise, I bought four used books online. Not good for my conscience, because I already bought books on the last weekend. The man and I we were away and the first one I bought because I was already through the book I had in my bag. (Of course, there was a new one back in the hotel room, but that's not the point.) And the next four (yes, FOUR) ones I bought at a used bookstore. Used is more okay, right? They are cheaper! So it has to be more okay because I will be less broke. And I was only in that store for like, five minutes, and then I left voluntarily, even without crying and whining. And today, when I was bored at work, I browsed my favourite shop for used books and of course, I found some. My list is long and even when the shop doesn't have everything on my list (thank God!) there's always a book I want to have. Or several. Mostly several. Believe it or not, but I never have a problem to reach the „free shipping“ limit.

So I bought new books today and I am already excited and a little depressed because there is so much to read and I can't read it all, it's impossible. But with every new purchase, with every new order, with every new book I place on my nightstand, on my tbr-pile or on the shelf that is reserved for the books I want to read next, there's hope and the tiniest possibility that maybe it might be possible after all.

The first thing I thought, just before I hit the „buy”-button, even before the excitement, was: “Huh, I hope the parcel arrives when the man is not home. I hope he will not recognise I bought new books - again”. Even though I buy them from my own money - and what I do with that is completely my decision - but still. Because it's this: When I see new books, I see the possibility of joy. Of new experiences. Of learning something new, diving into a world that I even didn't know existed. I see the possibility of my world turned upside down. Do you want to know what he sees? That we have to rent a separate U-Haul for all the books when we'll be moving some day. And the many many very heavy boxes that come with it.
