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?

I would really love to get one or two small press subscriptions again. I had one from Fitzcarraldo for a bit and it was such a delight when a new one, completely unknown to me, arrived in the post.

But I had to be rehoused into pensioner housing last year and it's a tiny cottage. For every thing which comes in, something has to go.

Books are hope. And we all need more of that.
