In my country, it’s actually difficult to access thrift stores, but this is like so cool! I wish I could go there too! Are you gonna read those on your channel soon? :)

I'll pick out a number of books each month to read, then give my monthly update the following month and pick a new stack. I'm pulling books out of my ancient TBR :D but any of these books would be contenders each month! I'll try to mix things up. I'm also willing to plan one read-a-thon each month. Sorry to hear that thrift shops are hard to get to where you're at--these prices are hand's down the greatest discounts I've ever stumbled on in 30 years!

Didn't you say you weren't going to do any more hauls bc of the prices in that one comment or something? Man is suffering from afflictions like a Darkest Dungeon character fr, go to the Abby and cleanse that shit XD. Gonna buy more books than you'll be able to read through. At least you'll be able to eat them if the end of the world happens or something. Hey, I have LOTR book myself, although just the Fellowship of the Ring, I needed a book for the university task years ago. Mine is the 2012 print tho, although I bought it somewhere in 2019-2020. Need to re-read (and finish) it, since reading for an assignment with deadline and reading for yourself are COMPLETELY different things, precisely the reason my passion for books died during school years and didn't resurface until graduation year. IDK where the actual book is, the small bookshelf is shared between my crap and my baby brother's school supplies, so it's a mess to find anything there. I'll trust the Goodreads with the print year info😅. And man, I peeped the Harry Potter books while I was looking up the print year, and the covers gave me so much nostalgia, cuz my books no longer have them, got them since before I even got into school, it's just 4 binds of pages since my mom only bought me the first 4 books as a kid😔. one of these days I'll hopefully buy new ones with the same print. Certainly take integrity of books much more seriously as an adult, the 2nd Honkai art book is STILL sealed in the see-through thingie, did cave in and looked through the first one when the country had struggles with power supply this Summer to kill time, it's longer than I excpected. Did found a Houkai 3rd Visual FanBook on Amazon by chance, while in JP only, seems to have art not included in the ones I have (it's from 2018 so either before or just around when they launched the game for non-Asian countries) I believe (maybe some of it is in 2nd one, but I wouldn't know).could be worth getting and translating yourslef, seems to have early story synopses and character descriptions, I think based on "act 1,2" etc sections of the text. The more videos like this you make, the more I remember stuff I used to read. I remember re-reading one book a lot back as a kid, The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. The only things I remember really, are author's name bc I as a kid found it really funny how his name sounds like julienne, the food, an illustration of an island and a monkey called Jup, the rest is completely blank so I'd be re-reading it basically blind if I get it, I don't think we have the book anymore. Apperantly the other story I read, 20k leagues under the seas, is also by the same author which is news to me, but I don't remember jack from the story as it was also part of the study corriculum and it was used in the English class to learn english (it was a basically a booklet, so not a complete story, just exceprts), rather than actually work on the story. Read something picking up Jack London from grandpa's book collection at some point but idk what it was. Some of the other stuff I actually read that was required by a uni, and not just know the synopsys off through attending class, is Beowulf which I remember liking at the time tho I think I only read the "Part 1" of the story, so to speak, before the time-skip bc you have a time limit for renting the books from the uni library, I believe. I did originally go into books from school years in this paragraph, but that only went on to unearth some repressed memories of me not fitting in with what the school wanted from kids or society in general, which I decided to erase from this comment for everyone's sake, so about 75% of the comment. I've save the tragic backstory/ schizo anger rant on how I hate school system and government and so on and so forth, for Class of 09 let's play if that happens, where it'd actually be fitting. THEN things might get unfiltered, mask off even... To close it off on a positive note, definitely not using these vids to fill in my to-read list haha 😏. Maybe I'll add your ass on Goodreads just to see what are you up to and compare your reviews to my opinion, if you post them that is, I've had the account for a while myself but did absolutely nothing with it since I forgot. IDK if I'll ever post any reviews or score on there, as I am actually pretty self-concious 😳(something tells me you wouldn't have this impression of me based on occassional sus comments on YT or our DMs, and there is certainly a lot you DON'T get to see of me on other people's content and spaces XD, not that I ever show true colors to anyone), so posting on a normie space would be difficult.

I agree with the academic reading versus personal. I just finished organizing all my university novels in their own section. I still can't seem to split them up so they blend with the genres etc that they're a part of. I have a number of university books that I simply can't remember a goddamn thing about. I have a King Arthur section too, which was a specialization lit course, and we had to read the earliest of the works up to modern, so I got some Old English texts in there--Beowulf is somewhere in the first early half and I recall it having some older language constructions in there! I will want to leave actual reviews on GoodReads, if I can put the time aside to convert my vlog ramblings to something focused, or write GR reviews first, and then use those as notes. I rebooted my account so that I can try to leave something more substantial and clear behind. I had no idea why I left the ratings I did for stuff on my old account--so the stars alone are okay, but over time, all the context of WHY fades and the stars alone become effectively useless. And, no, I wouldn't assume you'd be self-conscious... but then again, I'm uber self-conscious as well, which is why the whole multi-channel "identity crisis" event happened over the last 3 years :D. You have to push against these challenges though as it'll reveal stuff about yourself along the way, which will be helpful for future decisions etc!
