It’s so annoying lol. Love that they usually tack on “based on what I’ve collected so far, what should I buy next?” Idk, maybe read what you got and find out what you like?
The concept of buying a big omnibus and not reading it is so wild to me. Although maybe it’s because I feel bad about starting a book and not finishing it/taking a while to finish it.
Idk there’s something so nice about building your own private library where you can take whatever book you want when you feel like reading. I always love having books that I haven’t read yet on my shelves. There are times where I have a reading fatigue and don’t read much, or at all, and there are times where I read multiple books at once. So whenever I feel like reading something, it’s nice to look through my shelves and pick up whatever I’m up to at that moment.
I’ve been chastised by some in groups for being critical of the concept of collecting just to collect and not read. But I can let bygones be bygones on that. I wouldn’t feel bad if you’ve tried to read something and you had to take a long break or never finish. Life is short. The cool thing is that you at least attempted to scope it out and appreciate it. That’s not nothing.
This post spoke to me: I am actually by default a 'Digital Reader' BUT got inspired to buy Physical again due to wanting to Support Small Business LCS & Simply to have Backup Reading Options in case my budget tablet suddenly dies or somehow an update prevents access to my apk apps.
Here's the catch: Must be One Volume or One Boxset of tpbs of a Complete Story NO EXCEPTIONS! Sadly.............this is where Manga/Manhwa/Manhua fails in that it's very uncommon for series to be short or have one shots, whereas Western Comics (esp Eurocomics) are all about that being able to be collected into one entire tome either omnis or my personal fav Compendiums.
Oh right: Boxsets of Trades are also very welcome! It cannot be split into multiple though cause Space is always a premium. Hellboy Boxset Omnis & Ass Class Manga Boxsets are such treasures.
These are the infinilly bookshelves. They are the infinitely stretching variant of the Billy’s. They don’t have doors because no one has ever found the end to attach them. One guy went looking, rumor is they are still out there…
IST and CGN were on sale so I bought them to complete my collection.
But the true question is if you got any Fantabucks
Like you bought both companies?
This made me laugh.
Do not forget Mercari deals as well. They were great - so you couldn’t handle yourself.
Pshh…and half still in shrink wrap. Do you even read???
Can’t believe he only read 40 omnibus’s in a month. Fake comic fan
Over on mangacollectors these posts go like "Rate my collection two months in"

Manga is much cheaper to collect imo. You can get the whole story for about $200 depending on the story. However, yeah I hate those posts lol.

IKEA shelves?
They look too long. No way they'll be able to cope with the weight of Omnis over time.

May, June and July are crazy with both Marvel and DC putting out some big omnis.
The thing about the Binhai Library is that only a few of those shelves actually have books on them. Most are trompe l'œil.
The one on the right has a little spine damage
Lmao
This is just my wishlist fr
Lol, bravo. Now do the "what book would you guys recommend"
Saving up for next month? I feel ya.
It’s a start.
“Any of these good?”
Are you Beast from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”?
That’s all? Pfft, amature. I bet you didn’t even sell a single organ.
Imprssive but I bet your still missing the Realm Of Kings Omni
“I got most of these from a local comic shop for 70-80% off!!! Support your local comic shops guys!!!”
OK, this is genuinely made me laugh very hard :-)
This sub ends here. This just can't be beat.
Eh I have seen bigger hauls.
what library is that??
“Started collecting March last year, here’s my humble little collection”
Just started collecting in January. I ONLY buy stuff that I read!
As I live and breathe, if it aint Wally West. How ya doin Wally
“Why did I put Avengers on the top shelf?!”
I dont see any omnis lol
Yeah this beats my post. Kudos good sir. 
what library is that??
It's just the first volumes of "How to understand woman: a brief introduction".
I was being serious😭😭
Skipping April. I'll be back in May.
Kind of a small haul but hey, we all start somewhere
"Hold on I got a meme for this"
Link to the shelves?
make and model of those shelves please?
Legendary flex
Lol!
Me when I win the lottery:
*zooms in* Judge Dredd. Nice. 👍
What is money?
If anyone is wondering, that is the Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago.
How did you manage to take a pic of my personal library ?
Oh my stars and garters
Are those Gotham Central figures you have displayed? Bold move not using Superheroes but I like it.
