alaterdateI finally really really ran out of bookshelf space. Even with all my books squished together and on top of each other. Even with a couple of vanity shelves on the wall with manga lining them. I have too many books for the amount of shelf space.
In 2018 I started reading Kindle books because I was running out of physical space. Started really utilizing my local library soon after that too. And yet, here I am two years later with no more space.
I even have a stack of books in the closet 😭
The last time I cleaned out my collection was March 2019 I think. I remember donating a brand new book that sucked to the library and I sold all my Vampire Knight volumes ✌ I have another bundle of books to give away, but world things happened. So that pile has been in a bankers box in the corner of my room since April :^\
I still need to buy a few more volumes of Kuroko's Basketball and I am absolutely buying the Blue Wraith omnibus in September. So I went out today and bought another bookshelf. Another bookshelf I am going to stuff FULL of books lmao. But this means I need to clean and sort through what I have once more. The donation pile may get larger. Out of all the books I physically own only about 30 are unread though so I think I'm doing really good on that front 👍

I also noticed that I don't even physically own most of my favorite novels because I borrowed them from the library in the first place!! lmao Truly an invaluable service and I salute you for working at one. (^v^)7
One of the better problems to have, yes! Ahh I have a lot of manga too. I stuffed a lot of them on one big shelf and it's bowing under the weight lol (; 3 ;)
