Weirdly, likes hoarding books in buckets (7)
I believe the answer is:
kibbles
'buckets' is the definition.
(I know this)
'weirdly likes hoarding books' is the wordplay.
'weirdly' is an anagram indicator.
'hoarding' indicates putting letters inside.
'books' becomes 'bb' (two abbreviations for book).
'likes' with letters rearranged gives 'kiles'.
'kiles' enclosing 'bb' is 'KIBBLES'.
'in' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
