Where do you get all those books?

2026 is gearing up to be a great year for reading AND for "books as art" on the shelves! Many times people ask why I purchase so many books, why not just get them from the library. I do go to the library, but if the title I'm looking for is new, chances are there's a wait list, and sometimes that's okay, but sometimes I have my head wrapped around that story. AND there's that bookshelf! I am one of those book geeks who actually enjoys researching book recs, making a list, tracking down the best deals, and then displaying them until it's their turn on my reading journey. Book lovers don't need to overspend in this endeavor. Here's a video that explains how, over five months' time, I spent $155 for 52 books (my goal is to read 52 books by December 31, 2026!). Not every one of these will be my choice for the goal, (although 3 of the 4 books I've already read in January are in this video), but they are all on my TBR. I'll let you know how things go. And remember to visit the bookstores in your community! Support local, ALWAYS!
