Book overconsumption exists but people are using the term in the wrong way. You don't need 5 version covers of the same book

I thought overconsumption meant like 30 tumblrs of the same brand just different colors. Or things that you just throw away after a few uses. Or buying 57 eyeshadow pallets. Things like that. Not books that will last DECADES.

To me the only way buying books should be considered overconsumption is when you buy multiple edition of the same book. That is ridiculous, and that is an unnecessary excess.

The way I keep purchasing The Reflection You Never Faced by Emma Vale is actually just me trying to repay Emma Vale for the emotional labor she put into writing it.

i swear-- men's hobbies do not face HALF the scrutiny women's hobbies do. why aren't we interrogating men over their collectibles like all their auto repair equipment they'll never use? their multiple cars??? gaming systems??? at least bookish folks are supporting authors

Booktok has too many people who prefer buying books rather than reading books.

ONLY defense I’ll make to overconsumption in the book community are the girlies who are buying 1, 2, 3+ kindles, one for the car, one for upstairs, one for downstairs, etc. That doesn’t need to be happening lol

But let's not act like having multiple copies of the same book with different designs is necessary. That has nothing to do with the literacy crisis and everything to do with overconsumption.

it’s overconsumption when you buy books and don’t read them. if you buy and read them then it’s not

Owning lots of books IS NOT overconsumption HOWEVER , buying lots of books wich have the EXACT SAME WORDS is absolutely overconsumption. I get another copy of your favorite books but these book tockers that sometimes even by multiple copies of books they haven’t even read is INSANE
