What do you do with already finished story books?

We have College Trade in Kolkata where it's the biggest book shop in India. So I can just sell any book and I can buy any book. So there I sell the books that I don't need and I buy new books. So in that way, what happens is that the space in my house is also limited, right? So I just can't keep on dumping books and books again and again. So I tend to reduce the number of books after I've finished reading them

Hey, so there's a thing. Some people might find it disrespect of book and all, but I had a book that was not in a very good condition. Like it was way too old to be actually sold secondhand. So I just folded it pages and made art piece. That's what I do with my books. Otherwise, I keep it for my sister to read and even she's and give it to some of my relatives who like it. So that's what I do

Hi Sanya, that's amazing. And why would it be disrespectful? After all, the book won't be used anymore. So if you are finding a way to actually reuse the book, it's great. Thank you so much for the reply

Like you can even get a novel for 20 Rs50 there. So it's just about bargaining. I have gotten novels from there and I was thinking of selling them back the books there. They can again resell it. But I have never done that actually. And I tend to keep the books that have really pretty cover and they give a really good aesthetic to my bookshelf, honestly. But I generally tend to share my books with my friends

And the thing you said about Esthetic is that I really agree with it because I'm books look so pretty that it's so hard to part ways with it. I also tend to keep some books like that. So thank you so much for your reply. Bye
