006, The Book Buying Tag | How I Buy Books

September 20, 2021

As you can tell by the super spoiler-y title of this video, I'll be doing the Book Buying Tag created by Megan Olivier. Even though this is quite an old tag, I loved it so much that I clearly couldn't resist filming it. After much deliberation, I've decided to share this tag with you over on the podcast. For the sake of transparency, I filmed the original video in April 2020. In light of that, I do make a reference to the lockdown. I've tried to delete as much of this as possible so that you don't find it triggering.



Here are the questions:


  1. Where do you buy your books?
  2. Do you ever pre-order books, and if so, do you do this in-store or online?
  3. On average, how many books do you buy a month?
  4. Do you use your local library? If so, how my books can you or do you borrow at a time?
  5. What is your opinion on library books?
  6. How do you feel about charity shops or second-hand books?
  7. Do you keep your read and TBR pile together on the same bookshelf or not?
  8. Do you plan to read all of the books that you own?
  9. What do you do with books you own that you feel you will never read or did not enjoy?
  10. Have you ever donated books?
  11. Have you ever been on a book-buying ban?
  12. Do you feel that you buy too many books?



Thanks for listening!
