    This is why I utilized my local library. I can borrow books and decide if I absolutely LOVE it, then I'll go out and purchase a physical copy, otherwise I'll return it and it won't sit on my shelf. 🤣

    This was a riot. Your giggle after picking up certain books rang down into my bones. I know the exact feeling of seeing a book, remembering it, not caring anymore, and just laughing it away. Byeeeee!!! This was a super freeing video. I did a massive unhaul a few years ago before a big move and this makes me want to do another one!

    This is exactly why, for me, transitioning to an e-reader has been a forever game changer as a mood reader. I used to carefully pick physical books because foreign books from SEA regions are so damn expensive but even with this, I still get disinterested fairly quick so for practicality (financial and space wise), I just donated all of them and only kept 1 book lol

I just know that her books and writing style really won't get along with me..😂😂 I'll never get over how I once upon a time said that "Colleen Hoover is my forever favorite author."
