To someone who doesn't love books, it makes no sense to buy multiple copies of the same book or have various editions of it. But as anyone who loves something more than they should, I, as a booklover, practice the art of buying too many books, especially different editions of the same book.
But I have reached a new level of crazy: Today, while browsing my Amazon wish list I saw my all-time favorite book by Amelie Nothomb "The book of proper names".
Now, I have moved about 5 times in the last 3-4 years, so my stuff is everywhere and I have left a lot of books in storage. One of which is "The book of proper names". But for my "year of 26 books" I really want to re-read it and tell you about it because it was the first "grown-up book" I read when I was about 12. I loved it so much that I have read it multiple times eversince and it was the reason I started doing ballett (which is kind of not the point of the book, it literally tells you "Ballett kills" but hey, I was 12).
So I was browsing on Amazon and because I knew that book was in storage I just bought it again. That's who I am now!
If you are like me and have instagram, I can recommend @mylittlebooktique. She has about 1.000 copies of any classic novel and really beautiful editions. Her latest find are pink korean editions of a few Jane Austen novels. And yes, I find that exciting!
Because I spend my money the way I just described, I would love for you to invite me to a coffee. If you do that, I'll draw you something, you can request almost anything, the weirder the better. Click below and I'll love you forever:
