Top Ten Tuesday is turning 10!!! Today I decided to redo a TTT prompt I did around this time last year which was Books I’ve Read but Don’t Own. I’ve restricted myself to only purchasing books that I’ve rated ⭐️4/5 stars or higher so these are 10 books that I rated lower than that, which I probably won’t be purchasing for my personal collection.
When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
My Dark Vanessa by Elizabeth Kate Russell
Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
Yes No Maybe So by Aisha Saeed & Becky Albertalli
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
One Day in December by Josie Silver
Paper Towns by John Green

Great list! This sounds like a really good way to make sure your shelves aren’t completely overrun.

I’ve definitely read books that I’ve loved that I haven’t bought, mostly when I’ve read e-ARCs from Netgalley. Just can’t justify the shelf space for books I probably won’t read again.

I might be tempted to buy a copy of ‘The Starless Sea’ just for the cover art, it’s beautiful! 😛 I rarely read books more than once so when I read a book that I don’t own, I’m probably not going to end up buying a copy anyway. It’s just not practical. Somehow my bedroom is still overflowing w/ books, though.

Your boundaries on when a purchase a book make perfect sense to me. 🙂

Interesting topic! I also don’t buy books if I’ve already read them and rated them less than 4 stars. The only one of these I’ve read is Stalking Jack The Ripper. I think I rated it 2 or 3 stars. I don’t remember.

That’s probably a good way to limit purchases! We have to save space for all the new books we love. ❤
