Ebooks really are a great invention. I love how it's possible to have thousands and no space is used in home.

I recently ordered a book from thrift books. Pretty affordable. They are second hand. I'll see about the condition. Will let you all know.

Second hand books are a great thing! Totally agree about the hardcovers as well. I personally actually prefer paperbacks, so I rarely buy hardcovers. But even if I did prefer them I would still not buy them often, because they can be so expensive... Long live the libraries, where there are heaps of books for free
Recently I've become a lot better at donating books (I used to like to keep every book), which I usually leave in a Little Free Library so other people can enjoy them. That gives me more space for the books I love and other people free books they might love, so win-win! __________________

I own maybe about 10-15 hardcovers but they end up not getting read much. I usually re-read the stories either in e-book format or audio. The hardcovers end up becoming like art pieces instead.

Sometime I read in bed and lose the bookmark. Then it becomes a hunt for the bookmark.
