Wow, you have to be shitting me!

wait so now even the books they buy are free??
It's a smart move on her part to write it off on taxes and reap the benefits but the penny pinching part of it pisses me off so much. They take in more than they read with half-assed book advertising in their hauls and TBRs and want to be able to claim it as a necessity for their "job"???
I'm with aaa123. Get a fucking library card because you can do the same exact job you're doing now without wasting money and looking like less of a selfish degenerate. I like to imagine that some authors would enjoy their books being bought but would be disappointed in booktubers like her. I know I would be. It's already enough that they have deals with Book Depository and Book Outlet, but I guess that's not enough. God forbid you'd want to feel honest with your work. /shrug
