I believe the answer is:

audits

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'looks' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'books' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for audits that I've seen before include "Balancing checks" , "examinations" , "Checks accounts for accuracy, perhaps annually" , "Examination of accounts" , "Inspections of accounts" .)
