Truly I need to get on the ebook game it would save me soooo much money fr, also I love how reletable this is, instant subscribe

Great tips, I fell victim to overconsumption of books, only buying my own physical copies to put as a trophy on my shelf after even when I didn’t love the book. Recently while preparing for a move I was forced to do a massive declutter of my books and I realized I was hanging onto dozens of books for no reason. Now, seeing how much money was sitting there on my shelf, I’m utilizing my kindle properly and have purchased a few books second hand on marketplace instead of buying them new.

girly, thank you for the reminder to unhaul books i don’t like 😅 and thank you for talking about this!! i get frustrated often at the overconsumption and lack of sustainability within the book space!

I have a friend who also likes reading and whenever we finish a book we think the other might like we write a note into the book, describing why we liked it and then give it to each other. I think this is so wholesome. We also do the same thing with books we really hated. I will definitely try some of your tips, thank you so much :)

My library don't have alot of new popular books unless they are older ones that resurfaced, but I still love the library even to discover other books. I would live there if it wasn't for my anxiety

Great tips! Used bookstores are really my best friend. It’s the thrill of finding the book you’re looking for plus getting to experience the book that someone else has cherished

Ooh I am so happy that you are talking about this! Sustainability is something I try hard at in most other fields of life but I love buying books as well - once I’ve my physical TBR whittled down a bit maybe I will try and change this. I do buy a lot secondhand though, and secondhand books are the best!

I have book on display that I don't know why I have them on display? and a mountain of books I intend read but haven't yet. Great video, thanks.

I buy thrifted books alot, if I can find it second hand I try to do that, also last year I borrowed like 20 something books from the library. And alot of the books I bought were with giftcards. This year I also started it off with reading lost of the books I had on my tbr and donating like 18 books. I try to keep a balance but I do buy alot of books regardless, I also sample alot of them online before purchasing to not waste money if I don't love it. Last year is when I discovered booktube and all that and that's when fomo was hitting me hard, but I feel like I got a good idea of my book taste now, although I love to try new books, but you can find so many popular books second for fairly cheap, it's almost like a game haha. If I knew people who read lots of books then I would definitely borrow more from them but I don't

I’ve always been a huge reader but I have very few physical books. The library and the Libby App are my best friends. I haven’t bought more than a handful of physical books in years. I love the kindle and Libby apps because I can read on my phone or my kindle or iPad and it all syncs together. The overconsumption on booktube/tok/gram is crazy. Thanks for this video and the reminder

Last year I read 2 entire series from the library ahhh just amazing, i also am kind of buddies with my local librarian, he knows me by NAME, such a flex I know haha

Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope they make you happy.

Such a worthwhile conversation and great tips!! I feel insecure sometimes when I see other Booktuber’s ginormous shelves and I look at mine that probably has like 100-150 books (which is still a ton) 😆 I primarily use the library/Libby app, Scribd for audiobooks, used bookstores and little free libraries and rarely buy new books unless they’re on sale or I have a gift card! Great video ❤️

I don’t personally understand the whole “buy it after you read it” thing. Maybe it’s just because I rarely reread things.
