i'm sure you could make a drinking game out of the "really want to read" and "excited about"

[@BaileysBookBabble]

The amount of books read to not read ratio is so relatable

[@chandlerainsley]

it's BAD... definitely something i'm working on for next year lol

[@jordandron7907]

Usually I’m not a huge fan of colour coordinated shelves but seeing the way your shelves are organised makes me realise why people do it. But it looks so stunning and satisfying with your books you’ve done such a good job!

[@chandlerainsley]

ahh thank you!

[@hannahmae8817]

I LOVE how you take of the dust jackets on all of your hardcovers. It’s so beautiful to look at and so different from how other people shelve their books. I am LIVING for it!

[@chandlerainsley]

thank you!!! it makes me happy to look out, i'm glad you like it too :)

[@lyssasreading]

@@chandlerainsley I strip all of my hardcovers too, what do you do with the dust jackets? I hate the idea of hurting them, but at the same time, get away from me

[@mstinasugar]

I wish all my books were this ~aesthetic~ but lmao I’m romance trash and have a shit ton of like harlequin shirtless-man-cover books 🙈🤣

[@chandlerainsley]

no shame in that 🤪❤️

[@TheWordN3rd]

I feel like Kaz is one of those characters that if you don't appreciate how ruthless he is, you're not going to appreciate him. I did love his character arc (though he's still got a way to go), but you don't get most of that until later in Crooked Kingdom.

[@chandlerainsley]

eh i just felt like he was all talk... what most annoyed me was how he treated people he cared about. and him and inej never even kiss????????? bullshit.

[@TheWordN3rd]

​@@chandlerainsley Lol. You know, I was strangely still satisfied with them despite that. It's a very odd feeling for me. I still found them hella romantic by the end.

[@catherineruss6311]

I just kinda thought that they both had too much trauma that they should deal with before they become a romantic relationship.

[@nikki9808]

this is by far the best bookshelf tour i’ve ever watched just bc of how beautiful the books all look naked 💗

[@chandlerainsley]

ahhh you're sweet, thank you nikki!

[@ABookishBalance]

I love that you pointed out/talked about the books you've read, I always get curious during bookshelf tours about what's read and what isn't

[@chandlerainsley]

as you can see, i never learned how to read

[@justvynexa]

totally watched this while I was getting ready so I zoned out every once in a while. then I heard my name and I was like “YES, MOM?”

[@chandlerainsley]

HAHA i zoned out while editing it but of course i mention my bb

[@cupofjae]

HAHAHAHAHAH "I just nut every time I look at the cover" - I'm dead. You are my FAVORITE booktuber.

[@cindystarling7401]

So freaking love mortal instruments and lux and covenant series 😍 ❤

[@isastar940]

The Mortal Instruments = 😍😍😍

[@FourPawsandaBook]

So many of the books that you said “I’d like to get to this soon”. Literally me... Let’s buddy read Beartown next month!!

[@chandlerainsley]

ahh hmu on twitter!

[@TheMamaMoments]

Ah!! Read To Kill A Mockingbird! It’s my favorite book! & your edition is beautiful & deserves to be read.

[@chandlerainsley]

i've read it actually! in high school? i think? haha

[@markiehicks6740]

Your shelves are so beautiful 😍 yours are the first ones I’ve seen without the dust jackets on them

[@AissataAmadou]

Just saw Chloe’s bookshelf tour and now here is yours, my subscription box is treating me well today!

[@hellohardbacks4421]

It is soooooo refreshing to see another person with naked hardcovers on their shelves! My shelves are set up the same way :)

[@chandlerainsley]

it's FUN!!

[@MaryAmongStories]

ahh they look so colourful and pretty! 😍

[@ambitiousbibliophile2188]

So aesthetically pleasing!

[@chandlerainsley]

ahh thank you

[@MikaAuguste]

i've been waiiiiting for this omg

[@chandlerainsley]

i'm so ready to wow and amaze (jk bore you and disappoint)

[@alexandraroselyn]

The Cribs intro was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@burtsbooksgrace]

CHANDLER you need to read the fixes it is wild - also ridiculous and hilarious I LOVE also i will never get over how nice all the books look together without their dust jackets 😍😍😍

[@chandlerainsley]

I DO!!!! i can't remember who told me how wild it is but when i saw it on book outlet i knew i needed to get it. it's written kind of in verse right??

[@marisolflores1973]

" *This shelf is more of the same bullshit* "😂😂 damn... 😂😂

[@PositiveWriterr]

And this is my crib lmfao I've been ready for this the moment I saw the clip on Twitter let's goo.

[@GypsieRhythms]

I had watched your earlier video of you putting up your new setup and taking all your covers off. I thought then and now even more so that I love the look. Now so much I decided to thieve the idea and then use the covers for my walls in my bookstore! So a huge thank you for the simplicity and the more classic look of bookshelves! I loved Roar. Did you really say you "nut" OMS!!! lol I also loved The Black Witch. It became my #1 book of 2017. Look forward to seeing your take. Thanks again for a great video!

[@chandlerainsley]

ahh thanks so much! also using the covers as wall art is brilliant... they're always so pretty i hate to throw em away/keep them under my bed

[@ytclick6198]

This is super aesthetic

[@chandlerainsley]

my 1 and only goal

[@sarahm2957]

Yesss this intro has me PUMPED

[@JessicaBookworm]

Ahh your bookshelves are so pretty

[@TheAwkwardBookNerd]

I really liked A Quiet Kind of Thunder and Truly Devious! I need to get the Edward and Bella wedding funkos lol

[@chandlerainsley]

YESSS YOU DO 10/10 i love staring at them

[@alexis2819]

that intro snapped tho

[@fathippocampus6137]

I was really interested in what kind of books you like to read, because I had just discovered your channel and wanted to know if our tastes were similar. This tour really helped - even if your type may have changed since 2018.

[@brennaclark9385]

This was so fun! I loved seeing everything in more detail!!! Ugh I need bookshelves like now. A few things that stood out to me were: Kill the Boy Band started off slow for me, but it got SO. GOOD. I really want to get her second novel, No Good Deed. It’s a really cool green cover and 🥰 I’ll Give You the Sun is so devastating and was actually the first audiobook I ever listened to! A friend sent it to me cause she wanted to make me cry I guess but it’s beautiful. “I know I said I don’t like funkos” but brenna changed me cause she’s such a good friend 😝 Haden likes classics???? You guys have so many! SHIVER is one of my faves!!! I found it just this year or last I can’t remember. It was kind of similar to a story I wrote as a kid and wolves are my favorite animal so I bought all of them and devoured them all. Not sure how I missed them when they first came out. It’s only fitting that your favorite shelf has the wedding funkos 😘 THAT HARDCOVER OF TCP I’M DYIN Read Landline ASAP!!!!!! It’s the perfect Christmas book! Adding Not Even Bones to my TBR! You had me at Dexter!! SCYTHE is probably my fave book of 2018. Have you started Thunderhead? Also love Scorpio Races! I read that one while on vacation and took it out in like a few hours cause I was that engrossed. ACOMAF makes my heart palpitate. I love that series, no shame.

[@chandlerainsley]

hahah ily. haden doesn't read, we got those from his grandparents. I LOVE SHIVER AS WELL NO SHAME. haven't started thunderhead... i really need to get to Scorpio Races next year i've heard nothing but good things

[@morganunraveled]

QUALITY CONTENT. jealous of your shelves!

[@chandlerainsley]

yee thank you!

[@caprisbookisland]

The intro was everything , and you’re gorgeous

[@LeandraWallace]

Lol! I've always thought bookshelf tours showing every.single.book were boring too. Glad someone finally said it! =D

[@chandlerainsley]

i just don't have the patience haha i was already sweatin trying to talk about this any

[@BlondeBooks]

I love your shelves. Also when you mentioned reading to your bf I was like omg I do the same thing! Love your twilight funkos😍 I have the Bella in her wedding dress but I need Edward in his tux. I love that you’re just as trash for twilight as I am💕

[@alexstephen458]

It's nice to know that someone else didn't like A Darker Shade of Magic. I really didn't like it and I felt like I was going insane watching people LOVE it so much, haha

[@chandlerainsley]

her characters just kill me honestly... they're more bland than the cereal pieces in lucky charms

[@nutshell93]

kill the boy band is a really funny satire i really enjoyed it i hope you do too!

[@caitlingomez9955]

shoutout to me at 8:13 babayyyyy I love your rainbow bookshelves

[@bethanymason8581]

Letters to the lost is one of my favourite books from this year

[@estuaryaerosmith]

definitely hope you got around to reading The Female of the Species because I enjoyed it soooo much when I read it and would love to hear your opinion about it ❤️

[@m7a.videodiaries]

I agree with you on this tmi>tid

[@elizabethd7478]

Great shelf tour 💕

[@tinalouise9648]

PLEASE read I’ll give you the sun

[@calireads0701]

Oh wow, it's so cool that you don't use book jackets, I feel like I'd be terrified to do that! Do you keep the jackets?

[@chandlerainsley]

if i haven't read the book yet, yes!

[@marisolflores1973]

Omg 6:12 love that energy 😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@fallenAngel5708]

This is probably a stupid question BUT.. is your copy of The Cruel Prince what it looks like without the book jacket? I read the e-book and want to buy a hard copy and that one is so pretty 😍

[@hayleymarie630]

Ohhhhh shit that editing though. Currently you have 69 comments on this video... I'm sorry I'm ruining that, but I had to comment. Love that a lot of your books are naked. Books in the nude need to be more appreciated.

[@chandlerainsley]

hahah i love the phrase nude books and i also totally agree with u

[@meltotheany]

I NEVER watch these types of videos, but I watched 100% of yours! Just sayin.... that I love you. Also, holy shit - please read Rebecca with me next fall! And I'm so damn hyped to read The Wicker King with you this January! And not to hype... but I really think we do have similar tastes, so I bet you fall so in love with Strange Grace. ❤

[@chandlerainsley]

YESSSSS rebecca, yes wicker king , and hell yes im so fcking excited for Strange Grace. you're right, we're ladies of taste ;)

[@georgiaschaffer8062]

You make me want to take the dust jackets off

[@alliewithbooks]

I GOT A SHOUTOUT BITCH also I love that after you disrespected one of my faves you gave my other fave Kill The Boy Band a shoutout love that for me 😭💕

[@chandlerainsley]

HAH which fave did i disrespect m'am??? but yeah i mean cmon you're an influential icon

[@SparklesFantastic]

As someone who actually wont buy a book if the dust jacket is mussed, I'm very invested in knowing...What happens to the dust jackets???

[@chandlerainsley]

i have them in storage in my closet and re-jacket them if i sell or donate :)

[@anna.francesca]

The intro is epic! I also have read Illuminae and am yet to read Gemina, so if you’d like to buddy read I’m in the new year I’d really like that. 😊

[@chandlerainsley]

ahh i'll definitely hit you up Anna!

[@camilesouzaa]

haha this brought me back to our failed And I Darken buddy read. I hear nothing but great things about Brandon Sanderson, so maybe you should pick some book by him? Or maybe The Darkest Part of The Forest, I've heard that there's some sort of crossover with The Cruel Prince.

[@chandlerainsley]

yessss the darkest part of the forest is supposed to be amazing i really need to get on it

[@snubaru]

PLEASE read I'll Give you the Sun!!!!

[@mattb5881]

Susan M yes Susan

[@angelaory7728]

Why do you take the dust jackets off of all of your books? I don’t mean that to sound rude I’m just genuinely so curious! Also, do you not own any paperbacks?

[@chandlerainsley]

not rude at all! i just don't like the way they look with the gold leafed dust jacketless classics that my bf inherited. and when actually reading a hardcover i found myself taking off the dust jackets anyway. i actually do have a lot of the jackets in a box though in case i want to resell the books. i do own some paperbacks, i'd say less than 20? and they're in a different location (most of them are ARCs)

[@teatimewithnaomi]

The Curel Prince was also my favourite book of 2018!! I am sooo excited for the next one. Also, The Hazel Wood was really fun, I really want the hardback. I really enjoyed it. And UGH Uprooted was amazing, I can't wait to get to read Spinning Silver

[@chandlerainsley]

ahh good to know! will def move those up on the ole TBR

[@teatimewithnaomi]

@@chandlerainsley I'd love to know what you think about The Hazel Wood. It's very interesting to say the least

[@dstodd]

can i ask what drove you to take the dust jackets off your books? It looks pretty with the way you have it organized but I just never imagined i'd see someone do it this way.

[@chandlerainsley]

yeah, my bf inherited classics and they were jacketless and classy. so i stripped the rest of my books to match. i just like the way it looks and also jackets get in the way when you read anyway :)

[@readingwithkelsey]

Omg let me know when you are reading shiver ive been aching to try it out

[@chandlerainsley]

YESSS read it with meeee

[@readingwithkelsey]

chandler ainsley down! tell me when :)

[@andrewannotates]

But where are your shelves from??

[@literatureads1439]

Your so pretty ! And your channel is awesome :)

[@BookishBabbles]

I will take the a darker shade of magic series off your hands with such swiftness, you won’t even know they disappeared! Are you doing hush hush for the trash back? Woahhh how did I already forget what you call it? Rip me!

[@BookishBabbles]

The fact that most of your books are unread makes me feel welcomed because I’m horrible with buying books😭

[@chandlerainsley]

I AM SHAMEFUL!!! but i've mostly stopped buying books in bulk so i think i might actually be able to get thru them sometime. and yes brb mailing you these 80 lb books asap

[@AlexiaM]

Ok I must have only hardcovers and take the covers off bc 😍

[@mattb5881]

I’ll give u the sun is good

[@Life.W.Walkinshaw]

I just wanna know.... do you through out the dust jackets or keep them somewhere??

[@chandlerainsley]

they're in my closet

[@KileyKeeling]

[❤️❤️❤️] this {💜💜💜} is [💗💗💗] a {💙💙💙} great [💚💚💚] video

[@swinche95]

yoooooooo wtf do u do with the dust jackets

[@chandlerainsley]

I THROW THEM AWAY :) that's a lie lol, if i haven't read the book and am unsure if i wanna keep it i save them in a box. if i like the book and am keeping it i actually do throw them in the trash

[@chandlerainsley]

or like recycle them. save the planet or whatever

[@swinche95]

@@chandlerainsley oh man that hurts a little but its fine. You're the only booktuber I've found with correct opinions about TMI so ill look past it

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I wish I actually had the patience and motivation to film one of these 😂

[@chandlerainsley]

WE NEED TO SEE YOUR SHELVES JAY!

Someone give me book suggestions pleaseee need some new things to read 😭

[@chandlerainsley]

[@Spencer_Mills]

[@Singhaditi1105]

Why don't the books have jackets?

[@chandlerainsley]

[@masumachowdhury]

Paperbacks?

[@chandlerainsley]

[@masumachowdhury]

chandler ainsley sorry lol, was asking where all your paperbacks are? 😂

[@gabrielanunez7482]
