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
All hobbies are ridiculous in one way or another but if it fits in your budget and it makes you happy, do it.

Hahaha that makes me feel better. Because I indeed only buy the fancy hardback editions with beautiful covers 😂
