Do any of you just buy books to add them to your library?
Knowing you may not get to them for a while?
What do you do, do you only add it to your library if you read it?
Do you limit yourself when you see books and say you already have a waitlist at home?
Edit: typo
I have a tier system. Tier one is comprised of authors who’s books I will just immediately buy the minute they’re published solely based on the fact I love everything they do. I also (shamefully) immediately pause whatever I’m reading to read the new works by this tier of authors.
Tier two is authors I’ve heard good things about or I’ve been recommended a spefici title by someone I trust. I might not buy these books immediately but it’s usually pretty soon. Within a month usually.
Tier three is books I’ve heard vaguely good things about from a lot of people. These go on my ‘will buy at some point’ list. These books may or may not get bumped up to tier two if I hear a recommendation by someone I trust.
Tier four is a list of books that I like the look of. There’s a decent chance they might never get bought. This is the equivalent of my personal ‘slush’ pile. If my TBR pile is getting low (ha!) then I might dip into this list and buy one.
