PSA: I saved cash by using library books instead of buying new ones.

But now my shelf looks suspiciously empty.

Totally get that. My own shelf looked weirdly bare after a big library return. Had that thick fantasy trilogy for months, then suddenly just empty space. Friends would side-eye it like I'd gotten rid of all my personality. Felt the need to explain it was a library haul, not a purge.

Actually, I kinda love that clean slate feeling after a return.

Used to assume empty shelves were sad, but this makes the library feel more real.
