I haven’t read a book in a longtime. I would like to go back to those days. Please suggest some light books to start over. Also I’m looking to build a home library what’s the most economic way to start collecting books?

What type of book are you looking for, biography, self development, fiction, etc?
Library - we have a place here called half priced books where you can pick up books at..half price and they’re in decent shape. Other than that make sure it’s a keeper before buying so you’re spending money on actual decent books and don’t end up donating them. (I just donated a bunch of books which didn’t make my wallet happy, haha)

Finding my love of reading again. Recently got a new library card after 20+ years. Joined the Libby app and started listening to audiobooks. I know it’s not a collection, but maybe a cost effective way to purchase after reading for free to built a well loved library!
