Today, I went thrifting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My latest obsession is building a library in my home. (One day) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, right now I am doing my sourcing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Get Into It <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What am I sourcing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my current thrift-shop era, I am sourcing guidebooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teach me about writing, the art of fiction, or graphic design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s fun to read older books about tech and see how it has advanced over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of physical media in the digital age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, physical media is becoming a sacred tool. While the digital age is here and only progressing, I think it\u2019s important to have a hard copy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to hear it from real people, read it in my hand, and carry it on to the next generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what’s important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did I find <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I found a variety of books, ranging from college English books to books that highlight Black power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal is truly to develop an in-house library full of enriching books, vinyls, CDs, VHS, and DVDs, aka the classic stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am done with my guidebook sourcing for a bit because I have a bunch that I would like to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is vinyls!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
