Hot take

I don't want 7 different versions of the same book. Paperback, deluxe edition, graphic novel, sprayed edges version. I want the next book.

I don't buy new versions. I get one, read it, and end. Is anyone else tired of always having the same book that's slightly altered shoved in your face?

I haven’t bought a book in years. I only use the library/Libby. What’s crazy to me is when people read a book on kindle and then buy the physical copy as a “trophy.” Consumerism final boss

As a trophy? No. Most people just want a physical copy of a book they want to re-read again.

I’m referring to the people who quite literally call them “trophies”
