I used to buy tons of books from thrift stores, mostly because the location was more accessible than the library for me.

But now I mostly read ebooks from the library (Libby). I still buy books, both used and new, but only books I’ve already read and liked enough to feel it’s worth adding to my collection. I rarely reread but I want my books to reflect my tastes and interests, and it’s also handy to own all the books I like so I can lend them to a friend.
