 A couple weeks ago, you may remember, I did a video roasting, not really, kind of, roasting you for your bookshelves. And listen, I tried my best, but some of you were like, I'm like, that will probably be a reoccurring problem in this video. When you ask me to actually be mean, I can't, I can't, I've tried it and I failed, I can't. I'm gonna try today, I thought I'd be fan to roast you based on your favourite bookshelves. So the title's like roasting your favourite bookshelves, but like, I'm not gonna roast bookshelves because I don't really think I can have that in me. I don't think that's in my repertoire, but what I think in my repertoire is making assumptions about you based on your favourite bookshelves. KK, that's what we're gonna be doing in this video. Now I just wanna say before we get into it once again, everything I say is a joke, or at least trying to be one. So don't take anything seriously. Anything I say, is it a good fun? I'm gonna try and be mean because you guys told me I wasn't mean enough in the last one, but I don't know how good I am at that. So let's just get into it. Let's get into it. Okay. Okay, Rebecca, barter books in Alnwick. Let's see what we have here. What do we have here? Oh, what do we have here? Oh, we've got more. Oh, we've got many pictures. Okay, let me like, oh, it's giving, it's giving, yeah, local, not local, the locals. It's giving all local bookshop vibes. It's giving, why? Okay, we've got records. Okay, it's giving. I think we're in San Francisco, but you are not. It's giving. I think I'm like kind of an antique spare, but I'm a bookshop. I'm like, what is this, station? It, listen, it's gone. It's gone to a few like bargain hunt auctions. If you don't know, bargain hunt is my favorite show. I watch it every day. Bargain hunt auctions and it's got some like signs and like, oh my God, we're cute. We're antique. Okay, here's my thing with this one. Rebecca, are you more of a traditional girly, like vintage? Are we more of like a new like LED light girly? Because this bookshop is just feeling a little bit confused to me. It's feeling like it doesn't really know who it is. Oh, I will attest though. The meaning of Mariah Carey, Bob. Scientific studies have proven. Listen, if you like Mariah Carey, listen to your book of her book. She's an icon, a fucking legend. So it gets plus points for that. But yeah, it's a little bit confused for me. It's giving like, old like stone floor. Oh my God, we're like in the dark ages at some point. And then the LED lights comes in and I'm like, hang on. Boulder Bookstore in Boulder, Colorado has been one of my fakes since I first have been inside. A bigger on the inside, several floors still, okay. This is giving me architecture wise, like old Hollywood teas. I don't know if that's old Hollywood in the slightest. It's giving, it's giving share. The curtains. I feel a little bit attacked. She's cute, I guess. I imagine this is very fun to go to, but I don't. I don't like the lighting of these shelves. Like why are we like in the dark ages down here, but up here we're like, bang, like I carly walking into the room going. That's what it's giving. I don't understand the lighting situation. It's like the whole thing or not, but we don't have the budget for that. And I just think we're like a mishmash. Maybe I am roasting the bookshop. Maybe I'm not roasting you. It'll be a mix. Mishmash of architecture here. Like what is going up with these statues up here? How is this the vibe? The vibe is very confused. Oh, okay. Shanice, this ain't fair. Bradford Waterstones is a vibe. It's in an old church. I don't think I can really drag you for this. Look, who is this man? I bet he's a racist. That's the one thing we can drag. He was probably a racist. I mean, he could be walking down the street. I wouldn't know a thing. Sorry to this man. I have always wanted to go to this Waterstones. And the thing is, right, I lived in Leeds, right, when I was at uni. I went to uni in Leeds, which is next door to Bradford. I could have easily gone here. But for like half of my degree and pretty much the half that I did my YouTube, I was COVID. So we were locked down. We couldn't go anywhere. Like actually a lot of when I was at uni was like locked down. You can't leave your house. Like me and Tom wanted to go for a walk and we were scared the police were going to show up like handcuffs like our lives would be over. That was the fear. So I never went because of COVID. And I'm really sad about it because it would have been easy for me then. But now I live like six hours away from Bradford. And it's not easy for me. So a beauty, a beauty. I'm not about to drag that. That is one of my faves. Oh, Beth. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm jealous. I'm jealous. I'm jealous because I have I really want to go to Bath. But like Bath is kind of like, and that bitch who goes to Bath. Do you know what I mean? A little bit, a little bit posh, a little bit posh. But I've always wanted to go to Toppings and Co. So can I drag it? Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Very aesthetic focus. Like, but here's the thing. These kind of tables. I'm over it now. I'm over books on a table. I'm over books on a table. Yeah, I said it. I said it. I'm over it. Bookshops need to come up with a more exciting way to present books and on tables. And like, here's the thing. I like that you see the covers. That's fun. That's fun. Like, seeing the covers is fun. We all have a good cover. But there's something about the shelves that is great. Come up with a different way. Come up with a more dramatic, flamboyant way of showing me your books and books on tables. I just don't know if I vibe with that. I said what I said and I'm not changing on it. Okay. It's got your nice filter over all of them. But like, actually, how much is the filter making me like it more? Okay, because Beth is out here, like, listen, is great at editing photos. Is great. But like, how much of what I see in love is you? And I trust it. I feel like a lot of deceiving going on. A lot of deceiving. A lot of deceiving going on. A lot of deceiving. Ooh, what in Belgium? See, I want to be like, I want to be a global ho. Do you know what I mean? I want to go to bookshops all over the world. So part of this is like me doing market research for where me and Tom's gone holiday next so that we go to good bookshops. Is my laptop really loud? My laptop is loud right now. Apologies. The mic is picking that up. It's giving me school library. It's giving me I haven't got my pop filter on. I can't be bothered to. Can I? Okay, hold up. Sorry, I just realised that I could be just that's a no from me. I feel like I need to see more of the bookshop. But the bookshops at the moment are giving me school library vibes. Local bookstore. Oh, she's kind of cute, though. She's kind of cute, though. Wasn't that a song? Oh, she's kind of hot, though. Right. Again, though, I feel like we've got different nights. Yeah, quite like the vibes, but it kind of reminds me of like an airport bookstore. Do you know what I mean? Like the kind of white, like clean vibes. It kind of gives me airport vibes. Don't know how I feel about that. A lot Colleen Hoover. Listen, the bookstores are gonna get their coin, but do I agree with it? I don't know. I mean, I've never read Colleen Hoover, so I can't. I can't attest to it. But all I know is she was once a meme, and now she's apparently it. How does it happen? I mean, it's happened as a book talk. But like, I swear Colleen Hoover was like a meme. Like, that's mean, but like, like was a joke, not a joke, but like, you know, was no longer it. She wasn't the end girl. Also, I feel like you need to have like two of a book on a shelf when I'm in a bookshop, like we've got limited real estate. Why are we giving the sequel in a like that's Dreams of God of Monsters, which is the second or third book, we don't need like six them out at a time. Put them in the storeroom. Put them in the storeroom. Okay. Oh, we've got another bar to books. Apparently, bar to books is that girly bookman's Cornish cargo. It feels like a treasure hunt and it's owned operate by one very nice man. Oh my God, I love old, old nice man. Oh wait, he didn't say he was old. I just assumed. Okay, maybe he's not old. Devon, I just have to guess that you're a little bit chaotic. I love the vibes, but also I hate them. I'm confused because like, I could never find a book I was interested in here. It's giving orders. But I also like the chaoticness. Do you know what I mean? I don't know where I fall on this, but Devon, for this to be like your favorite bookshop, I think you like chaos books on the hill in St. Albans, Albans, Albans, Albans, Albans. Another one I've always wanted to go to. Isn't it cute? Oh, it is kind of cute. Oh, okay, it is kind of cute. El, you're that bitch. And I'm dragging you for being that bitch. She said, yeah, I go book shopping in St. Albans. And what about it? Like, you know what I mean? If you get it, you get it if you don't, you don't. If you know you know. If you don't know, like, honestly, feel bad for you. Like, yeah, I do like the vibes. And do you know what I mean? It's kind of like cohesive and vibes. Some of the other bookshops we've looked at have been like, like trying to do 20 things at once. This has a vibe and it's sticking to it. Little cute pillows. I'm not dragging this one. Please mind your head. Oh my god, cute. I bet the floor is really uneven and like rickety is rickety the right word? I bet it's that and I like that. Oh, gaze the word. Okay. Okay. I've been to gaze the word and I love it. I love it. I love gaze the word. I ain't got anything to drag here. I ain't got anything to roast. I love it. I love it. The people who own it are very, very nice. Listen, it's for God and the gaze. It's for God and the gaze. And it's for God and for the gaze. Oh, pals in Oregon. I've heard a lot about pals. Miss pals. Miss. I'm the biggest bookshop in the world. Pals. Smell bound under a spell by the No. Uh-uh. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. They made that sign in like 2013, height of Tumblr and they did not think about how I would age. It looks cute. Whoa. That's giving me a different... I don't know how I feel about this. No, here's the thing. I'd love to go to a bookshop that big so I'm chatting shit. But this part with the lighting, nice lighting, gives oh my god warm, cosy, I could totally vibe. But then this gives me stark light of day. Very bad and flattering lighting for the face. You know what I mean? So vlogging in there. I don't know if I could do it. The Feminist Bookshop in Brighton. They have a little cafe, a big collection of queer feminist, etc. books. Sell some second hand books on Cool Merch. I must visit if in Brighton. Oh. Oh, she's cute. Wait, am I in someone's house? This gives me Essex mum house vibes. Just a fact. Not a joke. Just a fact. Not a joke. Just a fact. It does give me Essex. If you don't know I'm from Essex could you tell? This gives me the basement, the kitchen. We're going to have some grey sparkly countertop just over here. This gives me very Essex mum vibes. But this is cute. Ava's sent in a few. The last bookstore in LA. Oh, is this the tunnel? Yeah, it's that bitch, isn't it? Here's the thing. LA is like, we've got to be different. But like, here's the thing. I like theatricality. I can't be in one breath asking for different ways to present books. And then in the next breath be ridiculing them when they do that. I have to admire the hustle and like, the commitment. I like it. I like it. It is a little bit, a little bit a lot. But don't we all like a little bit a lot? Yeah, we do. Okay, yeah. LA really is this bitch. LA said, yep. Yep. We're taking all of the bookshops. All the cool ideas. Us. So be cool. Don't be all like uncool. Whereas I have like one bookshop in my vicinity and it's disappointed. It's disappointed. They said, let me give you the drama. Let me give you the drama. At best the window's at your car. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. I've always been interested in going to the repped bodice. Drama. The drama. This is what I'm asking for. I am starved of drama. I am starved of it. Do I have to go to LA just to go to dramatic bookstores? Is that going to be my like character origin story? Like this bitch. Why are they giving me what everyone refuses to give? Oh, another one in Belgium. Excuse me, Belgium. Write it down. Write it down, everyone. Write it down. And we're coming. Whoa. That's, there's a lot going on here. There's a, there's a lot going on here. It's getting weird. This is kind of giving me like horror story vibes. Like what? She's kind of cute, but it kind of gives me like renovated hotel vibes. It doesn't feel like a bookshop. It's giving me renovated hotel. It's giving me there's some scary fucking ghosts here from the 1920s. Who are going to like haunt me and take them home with me when I buy my books? I don't know. Sappho's books. It's a used bookstore cafe and wine bar all in one with added live music and a bookstore cat. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Where's the cat? Show me the fucking cat. It's the best one. What's the cat's name? That's what I want to know. Okay. Okay. Sydney, book the flight. Write it down. Write it down. Okay. She's cute. Philosophy though. Focusing on philosophy gives me, gives me dangerous vibes. Beth sent me one on Instagram. Let's go over to Instagram. Let's go over to Instagram. Scarthin book. Oh, Scarthin. Scarthin? Okay. Oh, okay. Oh, okay, drama queen. Oh, okay, drama queen. I like this one. I mean, I know I'm supposed to be dragging. I like it. I like the vibes. Oh, cozy. Let me sit there with the cat. The meat and the cat just like relaxing. I would cry. I would cry. I just love cats. Oh my god, the cat is everywhere. Okay. What's the cat's name? Beano. Oh, this is a cute one. Okay, Beth. Maybe you win. Maybe you win. I like it. Homemade soup, coffee. Okay. I like that one. Gives me cozy vibes. I like these small town vibes. But would it have any books I like? That's the question. Bookshops like this. I kind of focus on like poetry and like antiques and like old books. Are you going to give me like fucking Nina Lacour's new release? Are you going to give me that? Are you going to give me Dean Atta's new release? No, you're not. See, that's what I'm coming there to buy and you're not going to have it. You're not going to have it. So that actually Thank you. Your winning card is revoked. So there we have it everyone. That was me your favourite bookshops. I actually failed to roast you. I actually roasted the bookshop. I thought I wouldn't be able to do that, but actually I could do anything. Thank you guys for watching. I hope you enjoyed this. If you got onto the end of the video, comment a cat. Is that a cat emoji? Someone tell me there has to be. Comment the cat face emoji because every bookstaw needs a bookshop cat. Comment that down below if you got onto the end.
