 oh my god again. Hi friends, welcome back to a new video. As you can probably tell by the title, today is a bookshelf reorganization video. It usually looks nicer than this, I just filmed a video and I was like well because I'm filming this there's no point me putting everything back. This bookshelf is full, I have no more room for books on it and I've got a stack of all my TBR books, about like 60-70 books just stacked up in front of it here. So we need a new bookshelf, so I have bought a new bookshelf. In this video I am gonna be painting it because I've decided to paint it pink. It's gonna be so bad. It could be a mistake but it was a cheap bookshelf so like if it goes wrong it's okay. Currently my bookshelf is organized by author last name. I just want to make my bookshelves look nicer so I think I'm gonna do it by genre maybe and I want this shelf to be all my favorite hardbacks. What we're doing today, I'm gonna go pick up my paint, I'm gonna come back, I'm gonna make the bookshelf and I'm gonna paint the bookshelf. Me trying to lift the bookshelf. Let's make a bookshelf! One for manual labor. No I don't want to play any more games. I'm fucking ganged out. I've had enough of playing games. Fucking hell. I'm doing really well. I'm doing great in fact. Go paint! For today this is one direction merch before one direction merch existed. I'm back to the second coat today. I have no idea if I'm in focus or not because I can't. I don't actually love myself this much. I just act like I do. The first coat is all dried now it actually looks really really good. It's a bit streaky obviously in places but that's why we're doing the second coat. Welcome back to my bedroom and we have got the pink shelves in. I am actually after it's dried and everything I'm so happy with how this has turned out. I think it looks so good. I think the ring light is actually making it look a bit more like orangey than it is. Hang on. If I turned the ring light though it would look quite badly lit. But can you see how it's actually kind of like very cool toned? I'm so happy with how it looks and we're going to put some books on it now. So let's go over to the other bookshelf first, my main bookshelf because I'm going to do most of the work on that first and then we'll come and put whatever we don't put on that shelf over on this shelf. So these books here are all my TBR books that are going to be going on that bookshelf but this shelf behind here I don't know if you can really see it. You can never really see what books are on there and so I'm going to round up all of my books that I don't really care about being visible and they're going to go on that shelf and then we're going to do all the rest by genre. That's the plan. I want it to all be genre apart from this shelf with hard backs and this shelf with like the books I don't care about. That is that shelf finished. I moved like all my John Green's down here apart from Tettle's all the way down and to be honest quite a lot of these are probably books I will unhaul eventually. I'm just kind of holding onto them for the sake of holding onto them. I didn't like sort these at all in any kind of genre order but they're mostly contemporaries to be honest and most of them are books I read when I was like 13. Like I don't really want to be owning these anymore. Ninth House was originally here but I decided to be the guest list here because that is a favorite and I didn't want it to all be fantasy so if the guest list is here I feel like that is a nice addition and it goes really well with the kind of blue tones. I was debating with Ninth House whether to have its jacket on or not. I've decided to have it on but I do really like the spine. I think I'm happy with this shelf. I'm not entirely sure. These are kind of like all my favorites. I mean Girls of Storm and Shadow wasn't but I want the pair together and I wanted Girls of Paper and Fire on here. Eventually this might get bumped off like the series is a whole but I want to keep this series together no matter what I do. Yeah I'm pretty happy with how that shelf looks. I agree. And now we're gonna go and we're gonna sort out all the piles of the genres and then we'll come and figure out what genre is gonna go where because like up here only paperbacks and like this size hardback will fit up there not the normal size hardbacks kind of like the mini ones. So the genres I sorted them into were fantasy which there was a lot of, memoir, non-fiction, contemporary, graphic novels, mystery thriller, sci-fi, general fiction, poetry, historical fiction, self-help or spiritual books, romance, horror, fabulism and classics. So my plan now is to fill up that top shelf with some of the categories that have less book. Obviously fantasy is gonna be over a shelf on its own so I'm debating whether I want to put that on the new bookshelf or whether, I don't know yet, we'll see. I'm gonna start filling out that top shelf and then we'll see how many of the books we fit on there. I'm actually okay with that. I think that looks nice. With having the lighter ones here to kind of like blend with that but also blend with that I feel like that's a good a good thing. Slot in that corner for now. My horror, I'll tell you what I'll put my spiritual self-help stuff. This will probably change, yeah that is a bit of like a weird ending but I'll probably read more fantasy soon and so this will become entirely fantasy. So that is this shelf, this bookshelf all done. So let's just have a look. I'm actually really happy with how this looks I think. I like everything actually being in its genres. I feel like that makes sense to me. Obviously this shelf I need to get those bookends to just make that look really neat. Same kind of with here, it's all leaning a bit. I think the shelves look nice together. I'm pretty happy with that. I'm pretty happy with that. So now let's go put stuff on the pink new bookshelf. Morning! It is the next morning and I finished off the bookshelf last night. I've got a few clips of me doing it but I did this top bit off-camera. This stack here is kind of like my memoirs slash feminism section. Well I can't really call it feminism right now because I have got Chloe Kardashian's book which I read when I was like 14. 14 or Megan was a different person. Alongside it we've got all my other non-fictions so we've got historical, political, about race and then these two are about a genie doctor in the NHS. So that is my like non-fiction shelf. I really like how it looks and I'm excited to just like fully bulk out the shelf. I really like having all those memoirs together. I have a lot more memoirs than I thought I did. And then this shelf here with this lovely fake plant is just where my romance are and then my general fiction. So down here is just all of my unread books. I think I will eventually move this off of the bookshelf. I don't think my unread books will be on my bookshelf for very long because I need the space for books I have read because obviously I've already filled this bookshelf entirely but for now I'm leaving them on here because it's neat. These are also sorted into genre vaguely like the hardbacks obviously all together here but all the paperbacks are in genre. So that is my bookshelf tour all done. I am so happy with how this has turned out. I absolutely love the pink so much. Like I love the pink so much more than I thought I would and I think the shelves look so nice. I'm really happy with my arrangement on that one over there, the white one. I really like all my favourite hardbacks being all together and I'm really happy with how it's turned out. And I have so much joy looking at my bookshelves now. I really like the fact that they are grouped in genre. I feel like it makes me appreciate all the books more. All the different books by having them in their genre. I really like having them grouped like that. It makes me want to read more because I think the books can kind of get lost on the bookshelf when they are sorted by all the last name whereas when they're in their groups I think it makes them all stand out a lot more. So I am so happy with how my bookshelves have come out. I hope you've enjoyed this video. Let me know if there's anything you would have done differently. I know it's not perfect but I am really happy with how they've turned out. So I hope you enjoyed it and yeah thank you so much for watching and I will see you soon in another video. Bye!
