 and welcome to a bookshelf reorganization video so I have new shelves I've spoken about it a bit in videos already but I have brand new shelves I have two new billies like four size ones and I have one half size one and I'm so happy to have like all the matching bookshelves for the first time but as you can see they're a mess. I just don't know where to stop. When we moved all my books back into my room we just shoved them in there so it's a complete mix of red and unread genres who is she like it's genuinely a mess but we're gonna reorganize it today and we're gonna make it look cute. Now I do find it a bit like pressurized doing bookshelf reorganization because I want it to look amazing but I'm gonna try and and get rid of that pressure on myself and we're just gonna have fun and like reorganize my bookshelf I'm gonna listen to an audiobook as we're doing it and I'm really excited so I'm gonna step you back a bit so you can see a bit better okay these are my shelves but before we talk about those actually I want to thank the sponsor for today's video which is Hunt a Killer. You guys you are gonna scream you are gonna scream when I show you this you're gonna scream and cry I'm telling you right now so Hunt a Killer make these immersive murder mystery games oh my god and they're not just a board game they are these boxes full of evidence, trinkets, case files, witness statements or everything you can imagine it's so cool and they have tons of different games but the one that I think you guys would be super interested in and that I got sent is one that is inspired by Agatha Christie the mystery of Hunter's Lodge. Friends it is literally like you are you are Urquiporo in this game it is amazing it was so cool if you've watched my videos before you will know this is literally what I have always dreamed of like it's absolutely perfect for me basically is based off of an Agatha Christie true short story and it's set at this rich countryside state in England where the unpopular host is found murdered and since Urquiporo is ill we are helping Captain Hastings figure out who the murderer is. Me and my family had the best time playing this we had like a little family game night and in this box filled with secrets the quality of the items are just amazing the pieces of evidence like the flask, wristwatch and banner were all such high quality honestly the thought and attention to put into this game just made it such an amazing experience like I felt a little bit bad and bougie playing it I'm not gonna lie I had so much fun playing detective with my family it was such a cute night we all had such a great time together and we really didn't figure out who the murderer was until right at the end it doesn't look good there's a lot of language all right yeah so right now you can go to hunterkiller.com forward slash meg with berks and use the code MEG in capitals to get 10 dollars off your order of the collector's edition so let's find out do you have what it takes to solve the mystery of hunter's lodge okay back to the video I think because I organized my genre I think I want this shelf to be fantasy sci-fi magical realism that kind of thing I then want this next big one to be mystery thriller and then I'm gonna put all along this half one non-fiction contemporary romance that's basically it that's all my genres because I really want to make sure my fantasy and mystery thriller shelves have room to grow like I don't want this video to be me like filling the shelves and then I've got no room to put any more books that's not the point that would be like illegal I think I will have room to put more books because a lot of what you're seeing on here is unread they won't stay on this shelf I've got a book cart over there which fits most of them and then the ones that don't fit I may just put down the bottom if we have room or I don't know we'll figure that out that's the whole point of the video the only books that are unread that I'm gonna put on these shelves are my special editions of my Ike the Chrissy Mysteries they're really gorgeous so I just want to display them I mean why not also I want to put my book of the month books all together with the spine so I do want them to be on my shelves so first things first I'm going to take all these books off the shelves and I'm gonna make piles throughout the room by genre and I'm gonna like take away all the unread books and put them at the other end of the room so we can deal with them later we're gonna do all of the red stuff and then sort out the unread books last also in case anyone was wondering I'm currently listening to the audiobook for Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager I am enjoying it I've got five hours ish left of the speed I'm listening to so I'm hoping to get like a good amount listened to whilst we do this I'm coming in before I could protest she was in the stall okay let's go so the situation is we've got book of the month books there graphic novels Ike the Chrissy special editions magical realism romance this is all fantasy uh then we've got mystery thrown us down here nonfiction over here horror contemporary all that kind of stuff that over there was all unread books we're not looking at that right now okay I love this angle I am gonna do fantasy shelf first so all of these shelves I want this one to be my favorite shelf again before hello I had a favorite shelf with mysteries and fantasy on it like thriller and fantasies but I want a fantasy one and maybe a mystery one oh yeah I think I want a mystery one or I might just have my favorites on my mystery shelf face out but I definitely want to have like the shelf I had with three facing out in the center here I also want to try and keep hard covers that are the same size and paperbacks of the same size together so I am going to split up series so that it looks a bit neater I think and I'm just going to start and see what happens because I haven't really got a plan so we're just gonna we're just going to have a go this shelf is going to change a bit I already know by Christmas because I'm getting my special editions of my bear and the nightingale books so I think like Amar and the night brothers um these ones will go I'm just going to put them in there for now but for Christmas I'm getting those books a special fairytale editions I'll put a picture in so this will be subject to change in a few months but I'm just going to kind of do it for now with how these shelves are turning out so far so at the top here we have all these fantasy paperbacks that all match up with size which is just so I just love it um eventually this shelf will probably all be that this the house in syruz is a bit taller so that will go somewhere else and I I'll move this somewhere else and that will just be all paperbacks then we have this shelf which obviously shadow and bone isn't a favorite but I kind of want it to be with those just because I love how the editions look together then we have got some Sean McGuire books we've got some Catherine Arden there we've got three of my favorite fantasies ninth house the starless in the night circus and then some more of my favorite fantasies we've got adi the roux Amar and the night brothers and the girls of paper and fire series so that's kind of like my favorites fantasy shelf and then we have this shelf we just some more of my hardbacks kind of laid together some hardbacks that aren't this size hard back because they're like more awkwardly sized so then stacked and then we have my kind of like magical realism fabulism kind of stuff so that is oh shit I was about to say that that is all of the books I wanted to put on these shelves but I do have science fiction fantasy that I want to go on this shelf so hang on take these out but then will my sci-fi fit there can we squeeze it in it's gonna be tight oh my god yay okay great great great we've even got room for like one more book okay that's that shelf redone then so I fit all of my sci-fi in as well woohoo okay so I actually have two whole shelves free on these shelves so we may readjust things a bit but I'm really happy actually to have those two shelves like the stuff that I can use up that's space for me to read more fantasy which is amazing that makes me so happy because I had no space of fantasy so that's what those two shelves are going to be put up with eventually okay so now it's time for my mystery shelves and thinner shelves now the only problem with this shelf is is that if you're looking at the shelf space on you can't see anything behind this shelf obviously because it's like hiding the stuff in there so I think I need to strategically put the books I don't like as much in that corner but yeah we'll figure it out we're going to figure it out so I didn't end up separating mystery and drillard because it would have just been too complicated but look at these shelves I am so happy with how they have turned out and I actually decided to put my book of the month books here underneath the fantasy shelf so I'm going to step right back so you can see everything together okay so that is those shelves done I am actually so happy for her look I think it looks so nice I just put my candles there on that book of the month shelf just to fill it out but I love the like all the face out ones amongst all of the mysteries I love how the strange cases kind of raised up as a series together I am just so happy with how it looks I think it looks so cool beautiful I'm definitely so happy so we now have to just fill that entirety of that half shelf with all my other genres and now I'm actually a bit worried because I actually have quite a lot of books here left so I don't know what order I'm going to put the books on the shelves in I'm just going to go and go and try and ever it phase out for like forever because it's a bit of a weird cut well no it's not weird cover but like it doesn't really match with everything else I have phase out so that will change once this shelf fills out but then we have poetry next to it as well then we have my graphic novel shelf which I think looks so cute and then we have horror historical fiction and then right at the bottom is nonfiction now ignore these books in that shelf here that is all books that I am in the process of unhauling so that is other ones I have unhauled in previous videos and haven't passed on yet all ones I'm saving for an unhaul video that I'm going to do in the new year at some point so ignore that shelf that shelf will be by the new year cleared out I will leave the finished close-ups we'll do like a proper kind of close-up of everything at the end because I've got fairy lights coming tomorrow so I'm going to wait for them to arrive before we do like all the cute shots of everything together but now I am going to go start on the TBR cart um it's pretty self-explanatory I'm literally just gonna I don't really have any order to the TBR cart I'm just gonna put um the top shelf is always 2021 new releases and then after that it's literally just I put books whenever there's no order to it so I'm gonna go start on that now this time I am pretty sure moments passing away I've never seen before there's a chain there's a love to be with you with how they've turned out I love the fairy lights long live I've never had that before and I just really love how it looks my TBR cart is all full up down here and I also also took up the two free shelves that I have but I'm not worried as the two shelves at the bottom that I currently filled with stuff won't be in the long run I should just sort shit out and that surprisingly surprisingly there is still a lot of like movement and a lot of places I can fit books in here I also think eventually once I need more room I'm gonna move my book of the month books up to the top of the bookshelf to sit on top of it because I think they'll look nice up there so they're gonna stay on that shelf for now but in the long run when I need more room I will move them up there I can always double stack so I'm not particularly worried about running out of space anytime soon but I really love how they look I'm so pleased with how they look I've also got a lot of front facing books out particularly on this mystery shelf so I can always get rid of that if needs must but I really like having a few so yeah I am so pleased with how my shelves look this is by far for me my favorite my shelves ever look because the first time I've had them all together in one place and I just really really love it so I hope you've enjoyed this video it was a bit different than usual a bit more chill a bit more cozy and relaxing so I hope you enjoyed it if you got into the end of this video comment the tired emoji because I'm very tired now it's hard work doing bookshelves again comment that if you've got into the end let me know how your bookshelves are set up for your favorite way to organize your bookshelves and I'll see you very very soon in another video bye
