I'm normally not one to criticize book lovers for overconsumption but if you have over 2k unread books in your house, why are you still accepting a dozen or more books from a publisher every month?? I just saw a smaller content creator with a series where she's trying to get through her huge physical TBR (valid, many of us can relate) but she's also posting regular book mail hauls and has said her netgalley rate is 7%, but she's still getting so many ARCs.This isn't just about her, she does seem nice though I am worried for her. It's some book creators admitting they go into debt to do hauls, others (crookedbooks *cough*) who collect dozens of the same book and fake reviews. I've struggled with shopping addiction in the past so maybe I'm reading too much into it, but some of the book community goes a liiiiittle too hard in the "buying and reading books are separate hobbies" thing for me.
