when browsing for books to read, i always look for book reviews. as a reader and booktuber, one of the most fun aspects of reading for me is building my book collection and having a space to display my books. that is why i bring you a 2022 bookshelf tour where i show you every single book i own physically (plus i break down my bookshelf organizations plus some tips and tricks for book beginners). booktube and booktok have buzzed about some of these books… but did/will i enjoy them? i hope you guys enjoy this one and come out with more books to add to your TBR and some good book recommendations for 2022!

700+ books is very impressive. If you reach 1000, you will officially have a library!

[@ellareads8452]

I order my book shelves based on vibes as long as my series are together

[@Leilers]

SAME series and authors together but other than that ✨vibes✨

[@kaitieharty5634]

I do too! As long as my authors are together I’m good. ❤

[@thymetime4615]

The best way, the only way

[@MelReads]

tis the best way, me thinks🫡❤️‍🔥

[@readbyria]

Mel's books: beautiful home library organized by genre My books: organized by ✨chaos ✨

[@MelReads]

the only part of my life that is organized😂

[@kaelynbishop1058]

I know this must have taken forever to film and edit and I wanted to say I greatly appreciate it!! I love seeing what other people have on their shelves and how they organize their books. Time to add some of your books to my tbr...

[@MelReads]

this is so sweet, tysm🥹🤍

[@bernardwright891]

May I ask which investments are good?? I've been looking at a few different ones but want others' opinions as well.!!!!!

[@bernardwright891]

Thanks so much I was able to find her page and I already leave her a message--

[@bernardwright891]

Thanks so much I was able to find her page and I already leave her a message--

[@rubyanddelilahandnani]

I think books look nicer when they are not in height order.. I like the mixed up, colorful look❤️

[@smartstudy5797]

My name is Ruby too

[@MelReads]

it definitely gives it a home library feel, which i love🥹🤍

[@jalyntaylor7609]

I arrange my books by age group and genre. But my YA are all together and jumbled up. I can't with that shelf... lol.

[@MelReads]

there’s always one chaotic shelf, i refuse to believe the opposite😂

[@KatieColson]

Beach Read next to the Mindfck Series is the energy I’m here for

[@MelReads]

chaotic at best🕺

[@orlagracee]

i’m in the biggest reading slump ever but seeing your beautiful bookshelves has motivated me to pick up more books of my own!!

[@MelReads]

yesss!! i hope you’ve picked up something amazing since❤️‍🔥

[@annascorner84]

Your kittens are so cute! Can't go wrong with books and cats!🐈🐈‍⬛

[@isabellamartinico3153]

Bookshelf tours are so calming to watch. Thank you for taking the time

[@MelReads]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@SuperBulldock]

I organize my shelves by colors because rainbow bookshelves are my absolute FAVORITE!!! 🌈😆

[@Televinita]

Great work! I've just started watching bookshelf tour videos, but this is my favorite so far, despite the fact that we don't have many books in common beyond the romances. Your narration is fun, and I like that you pulled select books out to show us. But I especially love the Video-Bombing Cats at the end. :D

[@beamingforbooks]

Goals. Also the twilight dust jackets… 😮❤

[@jennifervoilet6491]

I've never seen those covers and ot seems so out of place like vibe unmatched

[@ayantikasen3490]

I just finished a bunch of the books on your bookshelves and you would not believe the amount of pride I got out of that. Also really enjoying my reading year this year and hope yours is going well as well! 🐈🐈‍⬛

[@acantha2615]

Omg im so happy! I’ve waited for this video

[@lhamadramatylord]

I never even thought that it was possible to have customer dust jackets! You have opened a new world to me that could become and issue haha

[@heathers_happily_ever_afters]

🐈🐈‍⬛ I organize my books by read and unread and then by genre.

[@CaroLiaGrace]

I organize my shelves in my second bedroom by genre and then last name alphabetical. I also have 2 smaller bookshelves in my living room and there I go only for the vibes (favorite series and beautiful books)

[@islanewton4865]

Yay a new video from Mel! I love your videos so much! ☺️🤍

[@animalcrossing7967]

Very excited for this one!!!✨✨

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Those copies of the diviner series are so pretty 🥲

[@MelReads]

literally a prized possession😭😩

[@yinyin8769]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE AHHHH

[@rubyanddelilahandnani]

Mel, you have the best collection. Your library is my inspiración✨

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Loved this, Love how organized that your books are I have mine organized by favorite series

[@kaitieharty5634]

I loved this video! And I love that all of you’re books don’t line up evenly. It’s refreshing. Also, those editions of Marvel books are gorgeous!! 😍😍

[@akuma_killereva3683]

I think you would like the Renegades series. It’s about superheroes but it has a lot of drama, romance, a little bit of mystery, and of course, epic battles and corruption. You get both POVs from a villain who wants to get revenge on a superhero organization called Renegades and a hero who works for them but hides his own little secret. I loved the books, they were so good

[@dewtts]

The sound I made when I saw this! So excited to watch this!!

[@jenniebeez]

Yoooo nice Mel!

[@janna7756]

I organize by hardback and paperback, with series/authors together. I have a bookshelf of read and bookshelf of unread. I love seeing how everyone organizes! Thanks for sharing!

[@kindlelight]

That cover of Pachinko is absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@elizagrey5006]

I’m just happy you recommended truly devious in this video 🤩

[@KimberlyEsmee]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ❤️

[@liabooks6679]

I love your bookshelfs and Vinn is so cute ❤📚🐈

[@authormeganriann]

I love videos like this ☺️ I organize my books by category: my favorites, fantasy series, TBR, stand-alones, comics, and nonfiction. I always love moving them around to make it aesthetic!

[@MelReads]

i love that😍🤍

[@circusm0use]

ur book collection is intense lol i love it 🐈

[@thecapricornreader.]

OMG those editions of twilight... they are a need!

[@leire9444]

Ah i love a good bookshelf tour! Also, the road trip is so bad.. so SO bad.

[@headinthecloudsbookinhand]

I order my bookshelves by genre, without making a distinction between YA and Adult, since I don’t own that many adult books yet.

[@ravensandblots]

I loved how you did this tour, very cool. I separate mine by read and unread....for both I organize by genre and then by how it looks on the shelves, I guess vibes? 😂

[@lozanosa89]

I loooooooved the bone witch series. I find it beyond underrated! I found the story to be unique but it does give shadow and bone feelings (to me)

[@stewiegriffinfan1986]

I'm in love with how aesthetically pleasing and organized your library is, it's so pretty omg. I hope you've been having an amazing day or night and doing what's good for you. You deserve so much joy, so please never settle for anything less than that, and I'll be forever grateful for your existence. 💖 I have a personally fun question for you. What was the one trope you loved that you don't really read as often?

[@MelReads]

probably friends to lovers🤨

[@mariavaldez9208]

Big fan of the security system!! 🐈‍⬛🐈 Also, im in love with your collection 😍

[@tijanakovac7865]

read opal and nev! It's so gooooood great video as always :)

[@little.prince]

I’ve missed some Mel shelf chaos✨ Though it’s more of organised chaos✨ Love ya queen, good to see the collection keeps growing 😂✌🏻 The WOR eBay story never gets old either XD

[@yam288]

what a beautiful collection!!! i read disorientation recently and was kinda surprised by how much i enjoyed it haha looking forward to your review 🫡

[@MelReads]

i can’t wait to read it🥹❤️‍🔥

[@rockyj885]

Very nice shelves! I am also currently reading Amari and the Great Game 🐈‍⬛

[@sophialanghorne5598]

My books are organized by read, currently reading, and then unread because it helps me see how many read books I have versus how many unread 😂

[@onescentperbook]

I can’t wait to see you reading Shirley Jackson ❤ she’s my favourite author

[@Natbookawitch2022]

Los gatos al final me mataron < 3 😻 😻

[@kaitieharty5634]

I just got the UK edition of Addie LaRue on BAM and I’m in love with it!! ❤

[@goddessnix444]

aw mel, you've come so far, i loved this video so much (especially the cats LMFAO). your library looks so cosy and it's absolutely beautiful. :) I'm so proud of you.

[@MelReads]

the cats are always the main characters😂🫡

[@haileyreadsbookss]

OMG I CANT BELIEVE YPU HAVE MONSTRESS!!! I haven’t seen anyone else who has her books🎉

[@sliceofbookishbliss]

🐱🐈‍⬛🐈 Love your bookshelf security team!

[@MelReads]

they’re on it🫡

[@joannacuevas14]

I always have one shelf dedicated to my top most favorite books and the rest is just on vibes but I have to have my favorite shelf

[@artbyamyk1000]

Great tour!! :) I currently have my shelves organized by color which has been very fun and I love looking at them. However, I can't find things! Eventually I'll reorganize by series and vibes. :)

[@alicefacey6571]

I read Gallant in two days when I had covid. I was so happy I had the time to swallow it up and not have to wait. Also, Only a Monster is right up your ally. 😊

[@MelReads]

oooo will try and read it before the year is over👀

[@parnikajain3151]

Okay I recommend you read the Kane chronicles and trials of Apollo!

[@thejenmath]

Every time I see those Twilight dust jackets I want to own the series just to own those dust jackets. And I'm still coveting that UK edition of Plain Bad Heroines.

[@MelReads]

they’re truly a vibe!!

[@strawberrylime33]

Jade Fire Gold is a bookie never heard of but daaaaamn, that cover!!!😍 I'm trying not to judge a book by its cover because These Violent Delights had a gorgeous cover and yet...😬

[@xmarshmilox9955]

i strive to have as many books as you, one day im gonna have my own personal library 😎

[@jennireadsmaybe]

omg mel

[@MelReads]

👀👀👀

[@aliteraryfan]

Wonderful collection - also thank you for paying the cat tax!

[@Angel_HippieCityHealing]

Genre, then height but series have to stay together. Your books are so beautiful. Hugs💕✨

[@karengant2555]

😺😸Your kitties are adorable!

[@MelReads]

thank you🥹🤍

[@erykah8720]

i order my books by author and series and height. sometime the books that are by the same author aren’t together but they are in their series

[@frogforadoption4686]

i ASPIRE to have bookshelves like yours😭

[@MelReads]

🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I'm in love with your edition of Pachinko. I adore that book! I organize my shelves by genre and height but that usually falls apart pretty quickly!

[@MelReads]

i saw it and i knew i had to get it, it’s stunning🕺

[@billuraral1870]

Kittens were the real VIP of the video🐱😸

[@roossipkes444]

Pleassseee do a reread of Twilight and vlog about it♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️ P.S.: Love your shelves!!!

[@londonzhou418]

I love your cats

[@brittanywaynestilphen4685]

I love your adorable security guard.. could never steal you would get smothered with cuddles!!

[@Cosmos0000]

The custom book jackets for Twilight are honestly amazing. I've never read Twilight and have no intention of reading that series, but my goodness... if I saw these in the store, I'd pick them up without even reading the blurb. lol 😆

[@avavondyck3493]

girl, PLEASE read Beartown by Fredrik Backman. Probably my favorite of all time. It’s so moving. I think you’d love it

[@jz8840]

do the twilight covers fit the original 2000's hardcover copies? i love them!

[@ashleynicole298]

📚still building my shelves but they’re organized by genre for now

[@bootsbookdreams]

I. Love. Your. CAT!!!!!

[@sophiehutchins]

I can’t organise my books, because I don’t have the space to have bookshelves and need a craft room!

[@lyndeeandbooks]

If I can, I keep books by the same author in the same place but ultimately I put books wherever they can fit ahaha

[@rainathemoodreader]

Been waiting for this 😊 Can we get a book unhaul one day?

[@MelReads]

i’m not really a fan of filming unhauls😩 so probably won’t be seeing one from me! at least not any time soon🏃🏻‍♀️

[@rainathemoodreader]

@@MelReads Haha! Understandable. Any content you put out is always great content ❤️

[@sanlcng]

Do you not have the curse breaker series anymore? I could've sworn you've mentioned it in a past video!

[@MelReads]

i unhauled the series a while back🫣

[@jennifercotrona2026]

42:47 reading harry styles favorite books incoming

[@MelReads]

🤠🤠🤠

[@islene01]

Love that you have the Raven boys but didn’t see the others, have you completed the Raven boys?

[@rebeccagrace2131]

Currently my bookshelves are organised by author surname. Howeverrr when i get another bookshelf it will be by genre with author surname as a sub category within each genre 😍

[@junntk]

I have a question I need help with! But before that, thanks for always bringing us joy with your videos! I love watching all your videos (and live for your cats' cameos) and hearing you talk about books and even non-bookish content (: So qn: I just finished the first book in the all souls trilogy but I'm a slow reader so I'm trying to decide if the series is worth continuing or should I move on to another series instead. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you helping this girl out!

[@MelReads]

i think it’ll be entirely up to you! the series is slow moving (based on what i’ve heard), so if you feel like that’ll further slow you down, then maybe mixing it up with reading something else would be the move❤️‍🔥

[@junntk]

Holy! Wasnt expecting to receive a reply. Thanks Mel! I ended up reading, finishing and enjoying the Cruel prince trilogy instead.. audiobooks are such a lifesaver I must say!

[@KB-gq4ww]

Where are your rings from?? They’re so cute ❤

[@MelReads]

i either get them from ana luisa or beau life🤍

[@arubella7867]

I’m loving the glasses. Care to share where they are from ?..

[@MelReads]

[@prisjatia]

If you haven’t already read Heartless by Marissa Meyer, please do!! It’s really good❤❤

[@aurora-cc6hk]

THE CATS LMAO

[@sarajoyous4054]

I organise by author/series & vibe - whatever looks vest

[@goddessnix444]

[@MelReads]

thank you, thank you🫶🏼😂

[@Christinathebookworm]

I love all your shelves ❤❤ #Goals

[@jasminethefictionalcharact3730]

Main character energy : Your cats 🐈

[@MelReads]

you already know!!!

[@stupidpotato7938]

If nerdy ink doesn't have the dust jacket you are looking for, would you recommend etsy ?

[@MelReads]

i’ve personally never shopped for dust jackets on etsy, but i’ve heard of people who do it and love it🤍

[@ReadwithStefani]

Read by author but not alphabetically I just keep authors together in a way that looks good to me 😂 Unread by color ❤

[@ReadwithStefani]

also please read El silencio de la ciudad blanca if you havent already . I read the entire trilogy last month and loved it ❤

[@Mariafernanda-nd4mv]

Where do yo you get the books of a court of thorns and roses? I never knew a edition like that!!! Also your Spanish pronunciation is veryyy good❤

[@MelReads]

got it from “a touch of magic designs” ❤️‍🔥

[@Mariafernanda-nd4mv]

@@MelReads thanks you!🫶🏻

[@melek9023]

[@jesskiaunismusic]

WHERE IS YOUR JACKET FROM?? SO cute!!!!! Sorry to scream that lol 😂

[@MelReads]

omg😂 got it from h&m!

[@ellieskouros2174]

omg the bone witch was not good imo. to me it was like the more confusing, more boring, and overall worse version of red queen because the romance is just so weird (the main love interest has no personality other than being strong, etc) and there's no maven to make it better. also the character names are just bizarre: our mc's name is tea 🍵🫖 and her brothers are all named after animals 🦊 don't buy the fairyloot versions!!! i wanted to love this series sm, but i don't think it's worth spending the money 😭

[@Aylin_Niazai]

My shelves are vertically colourcoded by colours of the rainbow. So left is Red and Right is black (which is not an actual colour, but I had to put those somewhere haha).

[@wiktoriabadora1243]

Mina is definitely YA!

[@MelReads]

ooo okay, good to know!!! probs will stay with the middle grade LOL
