I Have a Book Buying PROBLEM 😱📚 | The Book Community Doesn't Want To Talk About This

Описание: Join my OFFICIAL Thriller Cult Book Club ✨ 💀   / @whatmichaelareads  

Okay, I have a confession to make. I have a book buying problem. Like a SERIOUS book buying problem. And I think a lot of you do too... but nobody in the book community seems to want to say it out loud. 😭

I'm talking about the 40+ books I bought in 3 months that I will NEVER read (because I read on my Kindle!). I'm talking about buying books because they'd make a good thumbnail. I'm talking about the way BookTok and BookTube have somehow made spending hundreds of pounds on books completely NORMAL. And I'm not okay with it! 🤯

Today I'm having the most vulnerable, honest, raw conversation I've ever had on this channel. We're getting into the book buying addiction that the book community doesn't talk about, the pressure on content creators to constantly flex book hauls, over-consumption culture, and why I think libraries might actually be the answer we've all been ignoring. 👀

Buckle up, book friends. This one's going to HIT.

🚫 TOPICS COVERED:
📚 The moment I realised I had a problem (43 books in 3 months!)
🎬 How being a content creator made my book buying WORSE
💸 When does book buying become over-consumption?
📱 The BookTok effect — did it save bookstores or create addicts?
🏛️ Why we're sleeping on LIBRARIES (and why this matters more than ever)
💡 Practical strategies to buy books more intentionally (including my trophy copy system!)
❤️ How to be a valid reader without spending a penny

This isn't about shaming anybody. It's about having the honest conversation that the book community NEEDS to have. And trust me, I'm going in on myself just as hard as anyone else! 🙈
