I don't think I will ever need that many books at one time. I've realized that eventually, after a few years (7? 8? more than 5 but less than a full decade), my former interests get put out to pasture for good. Maybe 10-20% of stuff survives that cutoff? The same applies to clothes, and shoes destroy themselves on my watch. XD; I keep meaning to sell some of my manga (possibly to repurchase them in bunko) but it hasn't gotten urgent since I'm not short on space or money yet.

Thyme scent was a medicinal thyme bath powder randomly picked up from the pharmacy! It was surprisingly nice.
