 So I have had a lot of requests to film a bookshelf tour and the thing is I have a lot of bookshelves which is why I've been too lazy to do it and today we're gonna take a step in that direction. I'm gonna start part one of probably three to four parts of bookshelf tours. So I thought I'd start in the bedroom for no particular reason but these are the shelves that you've probably almost never seen. Like you can see them in my vlogs sometimes, but I don't film videos in my bedroom really. So we're just gonna start there. I'll do those today and then you know work my way through. I have I think at least three videos worth of bookshelves for. So anyway today we are doing the bedroom off we go. So this is what we're working with today. This is my bed which I think is self-evident and those are the bookshelves and yeah we're gonna go through them. I try for the most part to keep my unread books in my bedroom because I like the books that are seen on the shelves in videos more often in my living room to be books that I have read and therefore I'm like comfortable or not comfortable but there are books that I'm like yes I have read these I endorse these whereas books that I haven't read yet I don't know maybe maybe I'll hate them and then I'll look back at old videos and be like oh I wish that book wasn't behind me in this video. So anyway not for the most part the books in my bedroom are unread books. I do still have some unread books in the living room but anyway yes off we go. As you can see this is also me this is my bedroom so this is also where I do my makeup. So this is not books but this is the top of my bookshelf. Tada below starting here we have Stranger Times which is a book that I randomly got it sounded interesting when I saw it and there are four I got it. Then I have Demon Voices by Philip Pullman which is in the same universe as the other His Dark Materials books. Then I have all my Natasha Pulley books in a stack. I haven't read any of them yet but I keep collecting them because they're so pretty. So the Lost Future of Pepper Harrow which is actually the sequel to the Watchmaker of Filigree Street so they should be next to each other but they're not. The Bedlam Stacks and The Kingdoms. Then I have some more Philip Pullman books. I had these together side by side but then I just ran out of space so I moved over. So the Book of Dust or La Belle or the Volume 1 of La Belle Sauvage. I have them right together obviously. The Secret Commonwealth. Then I have I used to have here the Queens of Innocentia as well but I did just read that so it got to go to the living room. So I now I just have Lady Hotspur by Tessa Gratton. Then I have The Lost Queen by Cygney Pike. Then I have this trilogy which I've had for years and years One of these days I'll read it. Dreamer's Pool, Tower of Thorns and Den of Wolves. This is the Black Thorn and Grim trilogy by Juliette Morillier. The Liar Thief by Jennifer Fallon, Thousand Chips by Natalie Hayes and then all my Harry Potter books because I don't want them in my living room for reasons. And down here I have I'm always complaining about all the Michael J. Sullivan books that I've collected even though I haven't read them so I have all of the Legends of the First Empire books in hardcover and his newest because it's just not me those were Christmas Nolan which is also in this same universe I think am I wrong about that but obviously these all are. Then I also keep collecting all the books. I actually have Red Ruin of Kings but I have them here together anyway because I haven't read the rest of the series and I probably wouldn't need to reread Ruin of Kings if and when I decided to finish the series. I say if even though I own them all because I didn't love Ruin of Kings but I love all these covers so I want to like this series. So I'll give it there's one more book um so I'll probably get that too. I don't know why. Then I have the first two books in the Queens of Renthia I think is the series yes the Queens of Renthia. Originally this was um I got this probably like five years ago because someone said it reminded them of Patrick Rothfuss and I clearly that wasn't enough of a motivator for me to read it but I did buy the first two books then I have almost unhauled this so many times but every year I'm like no this Halloween I'll read it but it's like a a spooky story that's mixed media. Then I've been I've put this book on the buddy read poll for my patrons all many times but it never gets picked crown for cold silver heard is pretty good like violent grim dark. Then I have the entire Queen of the Tearling trilogy um which is really pretty um I don't understand why the logo keeps going up but whatever and people have I've heard mixed things but I still want to read it. Then I have the first two books in this R.I. Salvatore series um I don't know the series oh uh The Coven Child of a Mad God and Reckoning of Fallen Gods and I have this chunky collection of stories that are edited by George R R Martin. I think Joe Abercrombie yes he did and the reason I got it was because it was edited by George R R Martin and it has a story by Joe Abercrombie in it um but I have not read it yet obviously. Foundry's line have heard mixed things have put it on the buddy read poll it always loses. I soft DNF prior the orange tree one of these days I might finish it it's just again such a pretty book that I want to like and then on the bottom I have doubles of all these books um that are left over from my attempts to find a matching set like matching size um and yeah I just have them all now and then like some of them I got signed not like signed copies of them so I just I just have them all I don't know what to do with them I'll figure it out. Similar situation with this I wanted them all on hardcover but they've stopped um doing the series on hardcover like you can't get the newest books in hardcover at all like you never could and then I got this the paperback signed but I don't want to get rid of the hardcovers so I just that's what I'm doing there. Then I have the inheritance trilogy that is completely out of order because I don't know why. I have read the hundred thousand kingdoms but I just wanted to keep them together anyway so I still need to read these other two and the city we became I pre-ordered the second one even though I haven't read the first one and how long till black future months so this is my N.K. Jemisin section. Black leopard red wolf also keeps losing on the buddy read poll uh godblind also keeps losing on the buddy read poll game of kings I got this for Klaus not for Klaus but because of Klaus this is Klaus's fave I have also put this on the buddy read poll one of these days we'll read it I got this ages ago because it sounded interesting but I also got it so long ago that I don't know what it's about and I've never heard anyone say anything about it it's by a pretty small press hotkey press one of these days I'll see what it's about then I got 9th reign ages and ages ago and now it's like a thing mainly thanks delia brooks and I think the broken binding subscription is doing the series next but I do have the first one in paperback and I got Lovecraft Country when the show was coming out because I found it cheap but I still haven't read it um Ophelia Swam was sent to me by the lovely Evie from She Was Only Evie um and it is like a spinoff about like what if Ophelia didn't drown but swam away so I am interested in reading that and then I feel kind of ashamed um I didn't actually know about this non-fiction book um about um Latvians being sent to this uh concentration camps in Siberia I was talking about this being part of my family history with Jess from Jess Owens and she's the one that discovered that there was this like memoir about it so I got it and I still haven't read it because I already know what it's going to be in it it's going to be super depressing then um I really enjoyed Five Horse alone so I picked up another lobby to Darabuck because I want to read more from him and this cover looks amazing and then I mentioned to somebody at some point that I'd never read any Vonnegut so they were like here's a Vonnegut and I started reading this um non-fiction book about Palestine and then had like just ran out of time and haven't finished it and Echo Wife was given to me by Amanda um this is a a arc of it but I still haven't read it this I have read but I will probably get rid of it this was an arc that was sent to me and I was so upset that I didn't like this book because it looks like it would be my perfect book but I didn't like it and then I have decided that I would like to torture myself by reading a little life someday so I just have it here so that when the mood strikes I'm ready to torture myself it's just sitting here ready for me to embark on this journey and that's this side of the shelves moving on to the tall one on this side I have some books kind of um stuck like it's not like I have a huge amount of organization here I did kind of keep it by author um over here it's by size and type and also I've kind of like put together books that I have various like blog projects in mind for so I've just kind of like put them together so that when I'm ready to do that um they're all ready together plus they're here next to my bed where they like taunt me was like hey hey remember this project you were gonna do yeah do it

just happened to randomly get a car I like got this well okay back up I saw someone doing a special edition of the second one of this and then they were selling also the first one um but only the dust

know if I'll read it um The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie J. Anders because I really enjoyed their first book um the All the Birds in the Sky is that what it's called I think so I got their second book as soon as it came out but I haven't read it yet Valiant Gentleman I randomly got it at like a huge book sale where it was like two dollars it's how I got it I've been drinking but obviously haven't read it their Welcome to Darkness was also a gift so just don't gift me books because I'm not gonna read it uh Alec and me have masks and mirrors um which I hope to read soon I know Alan has a copy of it too so maybe we can buddy read it Caste which I got because I wanted to read it but I haven't read it Shakespeare in Swahili land um which is also nonfiction and I would like to read soon I kind of have a few nonfictions here Caliphate also nonfiction only part of the party nonfiction um then someone gifted me no I bought this for myself but because someone kept telling me that I would really really like this so I was like all right then this came I think in a book box or I ordered it to match the first one I don't know but I've heard that this is a retelling of Hades Town and I'm seeing that this month so I'll probably read this as soon as I see it then I just get rid of it because I got rid of my other special copy of Angel Mage so I should get rid of this one because it was terrible I have read this and we have some more vlog projects down here um over here I have the Moonstone by Wilkie Collins um Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte uh The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas and this beautiful edition was gifts at me um for Christmas um Phantom of the Opera by Gaston LaRue this is a very beautiful copy Ivan Ho by Sir Walter Scott and The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins and yes this is two different copies of The Moonstone this is like a fancy old vintage edition um and this is just like a paperback and then more Wilkie Collins I have The Woman in White I have A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens uh Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Wolfe Crime and Punishment by Fedar Dostoevsky and Persuasion by Jane Austen and down here is again more books that I just they just are kind of the same size I sure I don't know why my standards are split they just are so these I have read I have read all the nevermore books I just put them here to kind of be safe and be out of the way because I ran out of space on my like middle grade and YA shelf which we're not doing today that's in that in my probably my next bookshelf tour will be my YA and middle grade shelf so I didn't have room there so I put them here these are the UK editions which are so hard to find but I found them um and they're gorgeous and then um this was sent to me as well Odin's Child um but I wanted it because I heard just Odin's talk about it and I mean it's it's Norse Vikingy type thing so obviously okay I'm just gonna switch them now just bothering me um I'm gonna just we'll just fix that um so yeah I read Skyward last year loved it um I've heard that it gets subtly worse so star site is not as good and then everyone hates itonic but I have the pretty UK editions because you know God them all are hot um then The Likely Escape of the Ariahepe is by H.G. Perry um and H.G. Perry is the author that wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Magicians which I loved so I wanted to read her earlier book so this was actually kindly sent to me um but I would have bought it anyway and then this caught my this caught my eye just because the title or what you will is the alternate title of Twelfth Night which is why it caught my eye but it actually doesn't have anything to do with Twelfth Night but it sounded interesting anyway but like that's why I looked at it and I was like oh but actually like this also just sounds interesting so that's why I got that. Conversations with Friends is the Sally Rooney book that I have not read yet but I obviously intend to. Flamefall is the sequel to Fireborn and this was sent to me by Alan. These are my Jeopardy winnings right here um then Memory Hold Empire was also sent to me. I've heard really mostly positive things but also some mixed things and I have no idea how I'm gonna feel about it. I've had these books for forever and I'm just I can't stand the idea of getting rid of them but I haven't read them yet so one of these days. Once in Future King I did start reading that and it was really really boring but I'm determined one of these days to actually read it all the way through. Then I got this upon the recommendation of Pierce Brown and it's incredibly difficult to find this hardcover because it's not in print. You can get it on Kindle and you can get a really ugly like edition of it nowadays but you can't get this hardcover edition anymore so I found this used but I haven't read it yet but I'm excited too and like I do love this like bold school cover I honestly do. And then I've been meaning to read Ellen Kushner's books for forever. I did start Swordspoint but I haven't finished it yet and I just saw this bind up and it was really pretty so I got it. Black Fox Rending was a cover by. I don't remember what it's about. And then this is like Viking-y so I got it but I have not read it. Magic of Wyndonist. And that does it for the tall shelf. And there you have it those are the shelves in my bedroom. Next time we'll do some of the living room and then more of the living room and then the rest of the living room.
