Also I used to go to library book sales and thrift stores and get so SO MANY BOOKS, simply because they were 25 cents or $1 each or sometimes even less. I liked the idea of having sections in my bookshelves--oh here's my historical fiction medieval section, here's my historical fiction tudor section, here's my English history section,here's my highly specific "books about ladies-in-waiting and women adjacent to famous historical figures" section, here's my giant pile of Red Riding Hood adaptations, etc--but the pandemic has actually helped me rewrite my priorities regarding books. The priority is now books that I have read and LOVED, books within very specific niches (like Romanov history) and books that are rare, not in the library system, and don't have an e-book version that I can pickup. These go in my "READ BEFORE X DATE" pile, and if I don't read them, out they go.
