I'm a huge book hoarder and buy many more books than I realistically have time to read. Also, I don't really have enough space at home. But I love books a lot and this habit doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon.
Circle of Tsundoku is a small, irregular thing that I do through this newsletter. As and when I finish reading a book—or if I go through a round of 'culling' of books that I finally admit to myself that I might never get around to reading—I will list the book here. All you have to do is email me to claim a book.
Milo Peng Funders of all tiers can claim books at no cost. For free subscribers of We, The Citizens, I just ask that you pay $5 for me to pack and post the book to you. I'm only able to post books to people in Singapore—it doesn't really make sense to ship secondhand books internationally given the cost!
One caveat: If you're claiming multiple books and it goes over the stipulated 2kg limit for the prepaid postage labels I have, I might be in touch about shipping costs or whether we can work out other options.
