Tsundoku = the Japanese art of buying books without reading them. It is one of my favorite hobbies!

hahhaha what a cute word :) Maybe this year is the year to read some of them ;)

I am a minimalist. I always have a book to read and do so every evening. I never buy books. I get each book I read from the library. If you want a certain book and your library doesn't have it, you can do an inter-library loan. This is where you request a book your library doesn't have and they will have it loaned to them from a completely different library system. The only caveat is that the book must be at least 12 months old.

what a great system! unfortunately our city library doesn't have that. :(

i did my first "no buy" for books challenge last year & succeeded! my local library, my personal library (of unread books, lol), buy nothing groups or little free libraries i see around have helped curbed the urge for buying books :)

I just discovered your channel and im sad I didn’t know about it earlier.. you’re so quiet and sweet so in love with your vids 💞💞

welcome! So happy to have you here! 💕

this year i started my list of new possessions, just to begin to know my buying habits and notice the things or situations that make me more susceptible to acquiring new items, i did it inspired by the experiences you share and i'm sure it will be enlightening for my beginner minimalist journey

Drinking game time: have a shot every time she says book😂😂. I love your content ❤️

Since 2019 I have used the Library instead of buying new books. It's totally free and I avoid purchasing books that I read and don't enjoy after reading it. ;)

that's amazing!

Have you considered no - buy local groups or borrowing a book from another member of the club? Just some ideas.
