That’s not to say I won’t in the future though! I have read several of these types in the past though (things like Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari and He’s Just Not That Into You) but like bios, I am more likely to pick up fiction right now. I have to say I am definitely on board, but find little time to dedicate to these types of books.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want to read them, I just don’t want to read them enough, right now.īooks written by famous people, or about favorite TV shows and movies are selling really well right now. I think right now I am more interested in keeping up with the book blogging community than I am in reading a biography, and so they sit on my shelf. But especially lately, I have found it increasingly difficult to pick one up when I could be reading other things. Generally speaking, I love me a good biography. I don’t know exactly what it is about books like these, but they are definitely not something I feel I would be able to get through right now, but would eventually want to see on my shelves later in life. Things that adults are expected to read and enjoy, even though I am an adult, and they are still miles out of my wheelhouse. They seem to be at an elevated level of fiction that I just haven’t breached yet. Books that I don’t really have intention to read right now, but maybe when I am “an adult”? Here are some examples (featuring some books that are actually on my shelf): Fictionīooks like these (ironically most BOTM choices) intimidate me. Have you ever done that? Bought books that you thought friends would be impressed with seeing on your shelves? Or books you just thought you should have on your shelves, even if you haven’t read them yet? Well I have.Īll joking aside, I still make book purchases today that I think a “future me” would like to see on my shelves. Classics, history and memoirs, all things that I believed necessary for a “good” library to have. I wanted to have books for my adult home’s library.
On my almost monthly trips there, I started to realize that I wanted to “build a collection” alongside the books I just wanted to read. Prices were super discounted so I could go in there and spend like $30 and leave with 10+ books. That in turn got me thinking about my own book buying habits.įor a long time, I lived about 15 minutes away from a huge book outlet.
#Buying books i never read full#
It was then that Aurora realized that she too has purchased books for a “future” her (you can see that full post here). He leans over and explains that he hasn’t read any of them yet, but definitely plans to. I saw this post on Aurora’s blog where she talks about being with a friend and seeing a lot of European history on his bookshelves.
