Try hollen Hover books It ends with us Remainders of him November 9 Ugly love And also try twisted series

[@MissValexiaValtero]

Buying my books used on thriftbooks helps me save on my library but also its nice to give books a new life.

[@sarahcooper1008]

I think adding hanging plants/candles or other little decor would be a great idea! Also, placing your books horizontally in stacks would give it more depth and look nicer! You can also display your special editions/ fav books facing forward to take up more space and make it look more decorate ❤

[@TheMusiclover258]

Hii i've been watching you for years now and i am happy you are getting into reading!!! I know when I started getting back into reading I was buying so many books that were popular, thinking I would like it. However after a couple of years my taste in books have changed quite drastically that I have sold many books that are not just my taste anymore. What I have been doing now is getting books from the library and if I really loved it I will buy it! I do this any new authors that I have discovered and if I really enjoyed them I will buy more of their books. This way it supports your local library and support authors that you truly enjoy!

[@MukbangMondays]

9:57 yes do that!! Maybe just add a few candles or plants here and there but I think fully books would be beautiful

[@plamedi893]

This is so awesome but i think it's important to caution the possibility of overconsuming or hoarding. As amazing as reading is, it's always a good idea to monitor how many books we hold on to for the sake of "collecting". When you donate books you no longer revisit, make use of digital reading platforms and resell/gift, the possibility of hoarding 1000 books or even half of that becomes more and more absurd. I'm so happy your love for reading has been re-ignited and there's nothing better than a brand new book, but it is important to consume responsibly. Happy reading! The shelf looks stunning.

[@briddy]

100% agree, I’ve done a lot of research into the books that I wanted before I bought them and I definitely plan on reading them all! Thank you for this reminder though and love 🫶🏼

[@plamedi893]

@@briddy can't wait for the book reviews! i need new recommendations

[@greymoore86]

Its not hoarding if you genuinely want a library in your home? I read from the library/ebooks yet still buy physical copies because i love owning them. Hoarding is something wayyy different (my grandmother is an actual hoarder and no one can even step foot in her house) its very different. Some people love collecting certain things. In this video, the poster is not even buying random books she will never read for the sake of filling fake bookcases for decor

[@dianacortez6031]

Exactly! This is ridiculous that people are policing others on their own purchases and trying to dictate how people’s personal possessions need to be used or how much. The whole point of being eco-conscious is to look at one’s own purchases and behaviors and try to do better and what works for them not policing others! Check yourself

[@plamedi893]

While I agree that we shouldn’t dictate what other people do or consume, I should emphasize that that isn’t at all what I’m doing. Briddy is a public figure. She is an influencer, and what influencers do is share their lives & sell their audience things. This means it is completely acceptable for us as viewers to voice concerns about mindful consumption or simply allowing her as well as others the opportunity to provide context. This, of course, is acceptable if it is with good intention & still respectful. I have no intentions to police what anyone does, but that doesn’t mean I should pretend that an influencer (who again, sells us things and shares their life) might not have influence with regards to what they promote. And from what I gathered from my exchange with her, she understands exactly where I’m coming from as I was in no way rude or malicious. Content creators are not above criticism.

[@mana-star]

Same! Sometimes it just takes a good book for the spark to ignite again! 🥰

[@briddy]

It really does 🤧 what book was that for you??

[@Victorias_corner]

Ahhh the vibe in the living room is just amazing!!! so cute! the bookshelf was PERFECT

[@briddy]

RIGHT! Honestly it makes the space so cosy

[@Victorias_corner]

@@briddy YES! before the bookshelf was there, I thought the living room is already perfect but WITH the bookshelf it's even MORE PERFECT!

Thanks so much! I absolutely cannot wait to slowly fill this up with stories 🥹

The Prison Healer series is a MUST! Recommend this romantasy series to everyone

[@linipini]

one of the most beautiful bookshelves i’ve ever seen!! but the chestnut springs series (reckless) starts with flawless ;) u picked up the 4th

[@itsjennifertang]

I'm such a bookaholic, and seeing you in your book era makes me so happy! After you spoke wo highly of it, I have to try the Magnolia Parks series 🥰

[@ericasmiiith]

You should face your sprayed edges books the other way! So stunning. Also Reckless is the 4th book in the Chestnut Springs series, Flawless is the first! Love your library 🤍

[@briddy]

Omg this makes so much sense now, I think I gravitated towards it because it was pink 😂 also I’m so happy with how this turned out!!

[@mareisbare]

I really like reading Haruki Murakami books, idk how to explain his books had it always sucks me in, and recently got into reading again but I don’t like how inconvenient carrying a book around can be so i got a kindle and its life changing! I could download any book i want and store it forever in the kindle as long as there is storage left ( prob can do up to 300+ books ) highly recommend!!

[@kaybanks8781]

As someone with over 3,000 books my question about someone who tells you not to fill your shelves with books may not be a reader and/or doesn't keep the books they read. Shelves are for books, walls and furniture are for decorating.

[@ohdayummitschristina]

Omg yessss! I used to read allll the time then I stopped for years LOL ACOTAR got me BACK in my bookworm phase and I love it!! I think the empty side of the shelf could be cute w some decor and small plants for now, while you’re still working to fill your bookshelf!

[@LinaAshaybith1029]

It was the scythe trilogy for me in the beginning of the year (plus an awesome TTRPG-adjacent reading challenge by Book Roast!) ❤

[@twentiescapsules]

YESSS please post the ACOTAR vlog!

[@0330saFIREExo]

I disagree with your friends and family’s opinion - BOOKS ONLY!!!!!! Also this was so enjoyable to watch I had a library of children’s books when I was younger now I wanna start curating a library again (:

[@ravent3016]

I love the finished look - nice! What a deal! I do hope you fastened the shelves to the wall though, because of the cats. You can add some storage baskets on the bottom for magazines and catalogs and stuff you want to hide. Candles and plants and photos are traditional, but my cats always knocked the plants off.

[@angelatang1078]

it’s so satisfying to see your bookshelf! can’t wait to see the book haul and more book videos

[@brittanylange7558]

Turn your special editions around so you can see the beautiful edges! 😊 Also I was confused by many of your covers and why they’re so different from mine….then I realized they’re Australian covers. I love them!

[@Mariagrazia8]

The bookcase is beautiful, it fits very well in that corner! your videos are so relaxing

[@iamchofy8056]

You should put some of the panels in the bookshelf cause due to the fact that the books are heavy, the wooden plank will start to warp

[@ArielAntenna]

Honestly a combo of books and other things is what i do! Slowly watching your shelf be taken over my books can definitely still happen while filling the empty spaces as well, and you can start removing nicknacks and things as you fill it with books!(:

[@TheGardenOfReading]

You totally have to add the Twisted series to your shelf💕 My absolute faaav series ! 🤗 Also YES fill up your shelves with nothing but books ! Those who are telling you no obviously don’t understand the love of reading and aren’t bookworms 👍🏼😆

[@ravensandblots]

Love this so much! And if you only want books on your bookshelf- do that! For mine I like having some little things (candles and funkos) but each reader has their own idea of perfection for their bookshelf. It looks amazing and I can’t wait to see what you think of all the new books! 💜

[@forevermoresft]

would love you to post the video where you document yourself reading a book!! i think it'll be so interesting 🌸🌸

[@aurorasandsadprose]

Not sure If someone has said that yet but the hooked series is not fantasy! I went into the first book thinking it was fantasy but then was shook to find out they’re just dark romance

[@aurorasandsadprose]

Also the ouabh series is fantasy not romance

[@DHANYAAHSRIGANESH]

You should fill your bookshelf with decorations and books for now and once you have more books and it starts to occupy space in your bookshelf you cn decide which one you like better or buy another shelf to accomodate books and deco.

This dream was all my life to have this bookshelves and this year I worked so hard to save money for that goal and I did finally but without the acceptance from my mom because of the economic crises we are facing but when she saw the video she came visiting me and she was surprised how beautiful it is and when she saw me happy and over the moon, she blessed me and laughed at the same time and comment : " you will die falling books over your head ", and i laughed too but until now every time i sit I turn so happy with my lifetime dream and harvest this dream, yes girl goband built it and makes what you make you happy.

Which of the series by Sarah J Maas should I start reading? I guess my only preference is that I generally like reading series that are no more than a trilogy because sometimes I feel like the storyline gets dragged out way too much 🥺

[@sooojulia]

SJM sadly doesn’t really do trilogies *cries* I think the most popular is ACOTAR and it definitely has hype for a reason, it’s great…..I will say I wish this series ended as a trilogy lmao,,,it gets a bit dragged out. Probably start with this one. They’re not hard to get into :) Throne of glass is also good but stamina is not needed but required. It’s a finished series of 8 books and there is a tandem read which is fs a fun experience. Don’t get me wrong it’s good, I just wish I spaced them out a bit more so I didn’t get tired of the plot by the time I got to book 6&7
