Buying books doesn't make you a “reader”

[@iieshamoume4133]

I loved this! After watching this one’s of my goals is to read with more intention and thought rather than what I used to do and just finish a book without really reflecting on it. Thank you!

Love this! I also couldn’t figure out why i didn’t like book vlogs on KZbin… also reading slaughterhouse 5 at the moment!

Loved the part where you talked about building a personal collection of books. I, personally, donate all the books I read and didn't like (if I don't think I can read it again a while later and change my perspective), because when I look at my shelves or show them to someone, I want to point at things that I thoroughly enjoyed/ would happily reccomend. Love your vids, Cami. Please make longer ones for us, if you can xx 🫶🏻✨️

[@Camilllehill]

I completely agree! Even if it is a small collection, I want to create something that represents me and is full of books I love! & I can deffo make some longer videos if you want that

Hi!!! I appreciate you and your videos so much, whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed I always know that if I watch one of your videos, I will leave feeling happy and more positive!! Also this is so real, I have such a problem of buying or getting books from the library just to not read them. 2025 is the year of getting out of my reading slump!!!!

[@Camilllehill]

Aw thank you so much for all your kind words❤️ they mean a lot to me. Good luck with your goal!

[@jamilla8588]

loved the little rant abt being a book-buyer vs book-lover! such a great reminder - my semi ambitious goal for this year is to read all of the books i own that i haven't read yet over any new ones :0)

[@Camilllehill]

I love this goal so much, good luck to you❤️

The most inspiring book~ Is Lead me where the light is ours !!!

[@BinxThinx]

Loved this! I got a bit lost in the world of book buying when I moved somewhere where books were more affordable for me and it made me feel really disconnected. On a journey to feel connected to my physical books again and read more and buy less!

[@Camilllehill]

I understand that completely, there is something so fun about buying books! Good luck with your journey❤️

[@BinxThinx]

@ thank you!

Ayy graduate Cami becoming a regular poster on here... Love to see it 😍😍

[@julnarjaber]

Same!!! It’s been so fun to see so many different video concepts

[@Camilllehill]

You know it❤️ get ready for weekly uploads!

[@Camilllehill]

You’re so cute

[@Camilllehill]

What books are you planning on reading in 2025❤

[@iceland13]

The flight of Icarus by Raymond Queneau :)

[@pectroglory]

The only time I read is when I really don’t have a choice like school text book feels like I’m just consuming the contents of it but yeah I read to understand 😭

[@Camilllehill]

You should try out different genres this year, reading for pleasure is the best

I feel this especially when I see 'those' book hauls. These people are spending $$$ on books to sit on their bookshelves, just so they can post "unhauls" a year later...

[@Camilllehill]

Those are the sort of videos that sparked this vlog idea! Like what do you mean you bought 100 books for the new year?
