Completely agree with your message re overconsumption and supporting your local library to get the books you want to read (if you can). Avoiding buying through Amazon is something I really wish people made a hard effort towards too. I had a couple of these books on my WTR list so I am looking forward to your reviews and will also go sub to your TikTok channel! :)
Concur with silenthillgirl. I live check to check and a voracious reader. Libraries in Miami stopped selling library books, but the Main Library has a massive collection. This video is why you are my favorite book tube person. Thank you for being you. Even the delicately curated bookshelf behind you is proof of your position and your politics. Love love love her Devilship.
The haunted house & folk horror books sound good. The way you describe your taste in thrillers, you seem to prefer the ones that focus on character driven plots - I agree; they're a lot more enjoyable to read. The last book on the list sounds like it has cyberpunk themes ( memory implants of other people's personalities, etc..)
Agree about the over-consumption. I like to support the authors, but ebooks and libraries work great for that! Plus, if you move house enough times, you really don't want a bunch of heavy books around :)
I haven't bought a new book in years, until the new Stephen King came out. I will most definitely shell out money for those (purchased at an actual bookstore, thank you). Most times I buy used from thrift stores and such and I can definitely tell when someone does a book unhaul because you can find the newer books in perfect condition sometimes. More for me.
Yes!! I don't think people realise just how often books in new condition are donated to thrift/charity shops. There's one particular shop that I usually go to when out on the hunt for books, just because they will always have books in such good condition for super low prices.
I buy a LOT of books. But what really strikes me about booktube (don't have the self-restraint to have tiktok on my phone) is people who buy most of the books they read, and then get rid of everything that they didn't absolutely love immediately afterwards. Like..... just go to the library then? what the hell are you doing 😂

From your list I will start THE LOOP soon. Then followed by Death Valley. Thank you for the Haul.
The synopsis of Loop reminded me of The Fog by James Herbert.
I love a library haul. I haven’t read any of these, but I hope you find some good ones!
Thank you, I have my fingers crossed!!
