 get started I am going to do a tour of my bookshelves with a voiceover but I am not the happiest with where my shelves are at right now but it's also not going to change soon. So this is just kind of a little thing that I'm going to do theoretically every year just to kind of see how my shelves have changed and how they have grown. So they may not look the nicest but I'm trying and then when I do another one of these hopefully like next year it'll be so much better but yeah so I will go through I probably won't read off like every single book that I have I'll just kind of give the vibe for the shelf and if you want to just sit there and pause the video to look at every book that I have feel free to do so but yeah they're they're a bit of a mess but that's just kind of how they're gonna have to be for now and it will be okay so let's just jump right into it. So the top shelf is the messiest shelf that I have this is where I keep all of my craft books and dictionaries and just books that I don't really talk about on my channel and kind of only go to when I'm looking for something specific I also have my Kindle up here and I have this start of a decoration that says home I have other letters on other shelves but as you can see these are just a bunch of dictionaries and I've even got Harry Potter in Russian and just kind of some random books that they don't really fit anywhere aesthetic on my shelf so I kind of just shove them all up there I've got a few decorations on top of my shelf mostly wedding decorations and then a Christmas decoration that escaped. The next shelf down has again the O for the home and this is where I have Twilight on the left and all of my classics on the right and a few other overflow books that I have stacked on top a lot of them I bought for classes or like I said these are my classics as well as Twilight and some older books so I kind of just keep them there again a little out of sight out of mind. Now this next shelf I tried something new with I have a bunch of my thriller horror books stacked on the right and they kind of once they get out of the horror genre they kind of go in by color so I tried to have like the black go into purple into blue and then I have the dance book on top but then on the other side I have some books that kind of crescendo in color as well going from white to gray to green and a lot of my trilogies are here or not a lot but I have a few trilogies on the shelf. I'm pretty proud of how this one turned out considering I have very little space for a lot of these books and here actually I did just switch tiny pretty things and the two shown in the choir books that I have of the waiver children as I was filming I decided that it would probably fit better and it looked nicer and it just made more sense for tiny pretty things to not be in between the horror but in fact be next to Love Boat Taipei which is another dance themed book that I have. These are books that I very much enjoy and very much liked but I just don't have enough room to really categorize them in the way I want to. So like I said I'm not gonna read off every title for you but hopefully this was enough time for you to be able to look at everything I have otherwise you can always pause the video to look through. Then if we move to the shelf below at these are my favorites and they tend to be most of my mythology and fantasy books so I have a little decoration that just says bibliophile with a couple books by it it's really hard to see on camera but it looks really nice in person. So these are somewhat sorted by color as well as material I used to have it sorted by mythology, geography but I just don't think that quite fit my shelves to the best of their ability so I have a lot of my light colored books on the right and then it goes into the darker colored books on the left again I tried to keep like a school for good and evil sweet and bitter magic and spin the dawn have a very similar color scheme so I did try and keep those together even though subject-wise they don't really stay the same other than these are just some of my favorite books and I love them and then my bottom shelf is a little messy but I'm okay with it makes me happy so I've got Sabriel the trilogy as well as two other Garth mixes books facing out so you can see Sabriel but I also have Leriel and a person behind it I'm currently reading happily of rafters that's why it was kind of on display in front so I can just pick it up when I'm ready to read it but behind it are all my contemporary books and I have them in rainbow order because I think contemporary in rainbow is just so pretty and then on top of it I have my graphic novels and my manga so those are just kind of the image-based books and then to the right of Sabriel I have series that aren't finished for the most part so the inheritance gains Percy Jackson I do have the T dragon society I don't know if that is finished or not but then above it are all series that I don't have all the books in but I have read all of them so this entire bookshelf are all books that I have read whereas when we go to the next bookshelf it will be books that I have not read for the most part but first I want to point out to the left of this bookshelf I have a small stack of books that are the books I'm going to unhaul and then there is a closet these are books that either belong to the library or belong to a friend of mine so books that I don't own books that I need to give back and then the bottom shelf on the shelf to the right of the moment we're just looking at it's my half shelf it's not super tall but it is pretty wide on the left all pretty much all the books that you can see right now are on red and are on my books that I want to read but as I remove that book decoration of these cute little hearts their reveals some series I actually have read and just don't necessarily want to put on display I mean I'm a big fan of the selection I loved it when I read it and I will still stand by it now but it's not necessarily something that I need in the background of all my videos or not necessarily the first thing I want people to see when they come into our home and look at my shelves so I just kind of keep the decoration there for now moving up this is probably my main focus shelf of this whole unit so from Divergent to the right are all books I've read except for Chris at the Spectre Queen I'm in the middle of reading that one and hopefully I will finish it soon but everything to the left of Divergent and everything laying on top of all the books are books I have not read and they're most likely the ones I'm going to get to sooner rather than later and then I have the Harry Potter series I acquired all of these books before JK Rowling came out with her terrible views so I am not getting rid of them because I did very much enjoy them but I very much also don't want them on display which is why I tend to put one of my current read books there in front of them as well as my little square decoration right now it says home is where my heart is and it has a whole bunch of things on different sides but yeah this is just kind of the middle shelf now it says PR guess and then stay a while I like to flip it every once in a while just to have something new but who don't always remember now we move this is the top shelf on this little half shelf here and I have Anna of Glee which at the time of filming I was currently reading but as of the narration I've actually finished it so it has moved on top of the books I have a little candle it says home sweet home it's really hard to see on camera but it is white and I think it just brightens up the dark books so on the left from lovely war to the left are all my historical fiction everything historical fiction that I've owned I read all of it except for the help which hopefully I will read this summer and then everything to the right is obviously my Disney twisted tales these are sorted by if I read them or not so starting with as old as time through concealed don't feel so those first five books I read all the other ones I have not yet gotten to but I hope to do a reading log of me reading all or quite a few of those books just to catch up and have a fun little themed week or two of reading the twist details now on top of the shelf it's a horrendous mess but that is because none of these books are mine these are all my husband's books he doesn't have a place for his books he doesn't have his own shelf because he doesn't have enough books to fill a shelf but I also have so many more books than him that I need to take out most of the shelf space so I just kind of pile all of his books here he's got elephant bookends to keep them safe on top of the shelf in the middle is actually a photo album of all of his childhood pictures but then there is a whole row of books behind and he has a very interesting reading test because he doesn't really like to own books so a lot of these were gifts to him or he bought because of school or I may have bought for him but he just doesn't read quite as much as I do now I do have a bookshelf in our bedroom that we just very recently acquired and here I've decided to put more books that I haven't read and books that I hope to either get too soon or I don't want on the main shelf or one reason or another I've got a couple books that I've got multiple copies of because my friend gets so many books and she sends them to me but sometimes I have multiple copies so a lot of the extra copies are on this shelf until I figure out what I want to do with them how if I want to unhaul them to a little library or try and sell them somewhere or give them to someone else who might enjoy this shelf really is just this one shelf here with just random books that I have not read yet it does have my bullet journal and another journal I take notes in and just anything bookish related I've also got a couple of bookmarks on the shelf there just in case I pick a book up off the shelf and start reading so yeah I have like sweaters and fuzzy socks on the shelves above I'm debating whether or not I want to try and move some of that to make more space for books just thank you all so much for watching this very messy bookshelf tour like I said it's it my bookshelves are just going to be messy for a while and so that's why like even though I may reorganize and do some changing in the near future or far future they're just always going to be messy pretty much hopefully until next year maybe next year I can have a cleaner bookshelf but we'll see so I thought now is as good a time as any because it's just always gonna be messy so like I said thank you so much for watching this
