    Buying books and reading books are two different hobbies. I’m better at the buying than the reading, but I’m doing my best.

    I was SUCH an impulse book buyer when I first started watching booktube too!! and I also bought passenger and illuminae when I didn't really know about my reading tastes lol. now I really only buy books after at least a MONTH of thinking of them... but I'll also go to the bookstore sometimes and purposefully pick up ONE book I've never heard of

    Is it bad that I find comfort in the fact that you think you're summarizing isn't the best? I SUCK at giving summaries. I will be raving about a book and then the second somebody asks me what my book is about I'm like....."There's this girl....and she goes on an adventure!" All these years of reading and I still suck at synopses. :)

    I grew up borrowing books from the library, so buying new books never really occurred to me, even with watching booktube I'm always a little bit surprised at the volume of book hauls since it feels unnecessary in my opinion to buy so many books that I have no idea if I'll really like or not

    Okay for me the factor that booktubers buy book and don't read them for YEARS has simply been very surprising !!!! Cuz I do not have the luxury of a bookstore and a library and buying online becomes a nuisance especially with covid and when u don't have your own money 😭. I get to buy books 2/3 books in 3 to 4 months , SOOOO I get hyped up waiting over them AND then GOBBLE them up IMMEDIATELY !!!! Sooo your reactions were pretty much hilarious !!😂😂😆😆 Btw currently waiting for Empire Of Storms !!!!!!!

    when I first discovered booktube I used to buy every single popular book (and then didn’t enjoy a lot of them) and I‘ve gotten a lot better at that. Still, sometimes when I‘m in a bookstore and I don‘t find anything I tend to just buy something I‘ve heard of just to buy something but I‘m working on that (because most of the time I end up not reading them and donating them after like 3 years)
