Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly bookish meme originally created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits, where every Friday, bloggers write discussion posts based on a weekly prompt and Dini @ dinipandareads has cohosted since the beginning of 2025.
This week’s topic is:
August 1 : Multiple Copies of Books
Prompts: Do you have multiple copies of any books? What makes you want to get more than one copy of a certain book? What books do you have multiple copies of? Are there any books that you want to get more copies of in the future?
**********
Do you have multiple copies of any books?
I think for only Pride and Prejudice. I wish I could get multiple copies but in this economy? I can’t! And lack of bookshelf space.
What makes you want to get more than one copy of a certain book?
Whenever I see all the different special editions and sprayed edges – I WANT to buy all of them.
What books do you have multiple copies of?
Pride and Prejudice. I bought one copy from Barnes and Nobles and then my hubby came home with this books being thrown out of a military library and they had all these classics, including Pride and Prejudice.
Are there any books that you want to get more copies of in the future?
I have the regular copies of the Legendborn series but I want the sprayed edge, special editions for the whole set. Maybe after the last book comes out and if I have money for it.

August 8: Reading Slump vs Bookish Hangover (Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly)
Prompts: What’s the difference between a reading slump and bookish hangover—do you think there’s a difference? How do you get out of both situations? What are examples of books that put you in a reading slump and books that caused you to have a book hangover? For more information, Book Riot has some really interesting articles about using neuroscience to understand reading slumps and the psychology of a book hangover.
August 15: A Change in Bookish Opinions
Prompts: Have your bookish opinions changed over the years, and if so, in what ways have they changed? Do you think your bookish opinions have changed because of being part of the bookish community (including on social media), reading more books, or book blogging? Have your bookish opinions changed in ways you didn’t expect?
August 22: Quotes & Excerpts/Extracts (Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady)
Prompts: Do you like to use quotes from books in your book review? If so, do you prefer to keep them at a minimum or do you include as many as you can? Do you like to make posts with excerpts or extracts from novels? Do you think that quotes and excerpts/extracts make readers more or less interested in reading the book? Why or why not?

Past Midnight Book Reviews & More 
“In this economy” is a proper mood! 😫 For how much I love Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion, I’m so sad that I only have like two copies of each book and they’re not even special editions or anything. It’s so hard to find the pretty versions of them here but I hope to get my hands on more one day! 😍 I hope you’re able to get your hands on the special editions you want, Yolanda! Thanks for joining LTB this week.
Once I decided on keeping the Fairyloot sub, I told myself I have to hold off on buying other books for the rest of the year. So back on the book buying ban—sort of! lol Back to borrowing on Libby and Kindle Unlimited. I hope you get some beautiful editions as well!
Ahh yes, Pride and Prejudice is such a classic to have multiples of—and honestly, what a win that your husband rescued a copy from the military library! That’s such a cool story to go along with the book.
I totally feel you on the sprayed edges temptation. Every time I see a gorgeous special edition pop up on my feed, my heart says yes but my wallet says absolutely not. 😅 And bookshelf space? What bookshelf space? 😂
I’m right there with you on Legendborn—those special editions are stunning, and I keep telling myself, “Maybe when the last book comes out… if the stars align… and I magically have extra cash.” Fingers crossed for both of us!
P.S. I also wrote about this topic on my blog if you want to check it out!
I need a home library but have no extra room for it lol – if I did, it would be filled with special editions.😅
Some of those pretty editions really are so expensive! But it so hard to resist. The prettiness!
And I like to see those pretties on my shelf!
I don’t have multiple copies of any books. I find it a waste of money. I would rather buy a book I don’t have.
