Bookshelf Tour (As of March 2024) - More than 1,000 books.

Hi, everyone. It is time for an updated bookshelf tour video. This is the third time I did a bookshelf tour on this channel, and this video shows practically ALL the books I currently own. The last bookshelf tour video I posted was in December 2021. Considering that there are more than 1,000 books this time, it means I accumulated almost 600 books in two years... Insane. I hope you'll enjoy watching it, and let me know what you think of my bookshelves! :)

I appreciate how you remembered all of the books that were gifted to you and took a moment to say how grateful you were every time you got to one of them 🥺

[@PetrikLeo]

Of course! I treasure them all. I remember all of them and who gifted them. I wish I have the time to mention them all but this video is 1 hour long already. 😂😂

[@covergirlbooks]

Honest show of hands: who would visit Petrik’s library, and probably never leave 🙋🏻‍♀️ So many worlds explored on your fantasy passport of shelves!

[@PetrikLeo]

Aww thank you so much! Fantasy passports is such a good term. 😄

[@asmrglow]

so many books i want to read in there

[@PetrikLeo]

Hahaha that's the same for me. Still so many books here I want to read. 😅

[@ZOMGfantasy]

1024! Holy Moly! What a LIBRARY! Except there are more awesome fantasy books than any library I've been to! Awesome video Petrik, thanks for putting it together and making us all jealous 😁😂

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! Haha, I'm surprised by how many books I have now, too. So surreal. 😄😄

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Wow! It's wonderful to think of those books all having such a loving home where they are obviously so appreciated. So many beautiful books -- thank you for giving us the pleasure of seeing them, Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much for watching it, Philip! I'm glad to have your books in my collection, too! :)

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@PetrikLeo I have to say it makes me happy that you have The Edan Trilogy!

[@rafavizuetecastro]

Now, that's what I'm talking about! Bookshelf tour time babyyyy

[@PetrikLeo]

It was so tiring to make the video. I hope it's worth it. 🤣

[@rafavizuetecastro]

@@PetrikLeo Petrik, I'm the kind of guy who has hundreds of photos of my bookshelves on my phone, and I tend to spend an embarrassingly long time standing in front of my bookcases gawking. I can't help it. So yes, looking at your bookshelves is worth it. Lol

[@esmayrosalyne]

Wow Petrik, you truly have a stunning collection (or should I say library) of books! And no need to apologise for how uncoventionally you stack and shelve all your books, I think it only shows a lot of personality and creativity!! As someone who has about 150 books at home, this video truly stunned me in all the best ways hahah. Thanks for taking the time to give us a peek behind the curtain, this was extremely exciting 🤩

[@PetrikLeo]

150 books is a lot, too. Well done, Esmay! Thank you so much for the kind words regarding my library! :)

[@thedrownedkingdomsaga7847]

Wow Petrik! Amazing video! I am so envious of your amazing bookshelf collection!!! But so happy you have all those beautiful books! This was incredible to watch!!! Thank you for sharing, and also for keeping my books as part of your amazing shelves! Honoured to be there!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, Stuart! It is my pleasure and honor to own your books. Looking forward to reading them someday! :)

[@vaughnroycroft999]

Whoa--so impressive. I'm genuinely astonished. So honored to see my books in this astonishing collection. Thanks for all you do, Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Vaughn! Glad to have your books in my library, too. 😂😂

[@DavidList]

This is a gorgeous collection, even including that hefty gold nugget at 46:26 😏

[@PetrikLeo]

@@DavidList you're not wrong! Good luck with the sequel, David!

Phenomenal tour Petrik! I always love a good bookshelf tour video

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! I hope the next boolshelf tour will be more organized 😂

[@MaedBetweenthePages]

Your library is absolutely gorgeous! 🤩 I knew we had similar reading tastes but this completely solidified that…even down to the knick knacks you have. Love no-face :) Your taste is impeccable 🤌🏼

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, my friend! Hearing that from you makes me happier! :)

[@trill_nathan]

Excited to watch this one! I will be moving out on my own for the first time shortly and I really look forward to working on bookshelves for the first time.

[@PetrikLeo]

Ohhh have fun! Make sure to share the bookshelves image when you got them! 😁

Wow! I know a lot of work went into this and just want to say thank you!! I’ve been trying to read more fantasy, and I get a lot of good info from your channel!

[@PetrikLeo]

Yeahhh, I spent days working on this bookshelf tour. Not sure I want to do it again anytime soon. 😂😂 And thank you! Glad my channel is useful! 😁

[@nothingbetterthanagoodbook8187]

I‘m so excited for this Video! It‘s finally here. 😍 Just got myself some nice hot tea to enjoy that beautiful Book Collection.

Thank you so much, Jiunn!! 😄

[@CashTalksBooks]

What a fantastic collection! You’re an inspiration Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! 😄

[@adamdarrar121]

Omg I’ve been WAITING FOR THIS!!! I literally pause your videos to see what you have behind you so I can order it! We have very similar tastes in books and manga so usually whatever you think is great I pick up! Keep it up brother!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, Adam! It took me days to record and edit this video. I hope you'll have a good time browsing through my collection! :)

[@Idiotenlaser]

This is honestly so impressive!! I’m a little jealous haha

[@PetrikLeo]

Ah, thank you so much! 😄

[@paigeme886]

😱 well, that is a few books… and soooo incredibly beautiful ☺️ love how you have organised them all to and the non traditional library / exhibits ☺️

[@PetrikLeo]

Thanks so much! 😊 I didn't realize they have exceeded 1000 books too. 😅

[@safinan8008]

Wow!! Amazing books….. looks great!! 🎉

[@PetrikLeo]

Thanks so much! 😄

[@ThatbratYuffie]

It's always interesting seeing another reader's library, especially when there is so little crossover with my own. Some of these books look really lovely. It would be an absolute privilege for my own work to share a space in a reader's curated collection someday. Just one more thing to inspire and motivate me to keep going. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@PetrikLeo]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching it, too. I always like watching people's library, I definitely understand what you meant. Here's hoping your books will appear on reader's shelf someday! :)

[@Tom960]

Amazing collection

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you, Thomas!

[@reynaldogonzalez5919]

I would love to have a library like this one day! Congrats thanks for everything Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you for watching! I hope you will succeed at having a bigger library than this in the future!

[@reynaldogonzalez5919]

@@PetrikLeo yes I was telling another KZbinr I had a big library when I moved once from state to state and I had to give them all away to donation bc I didn’t have space for them. So now I start a new one so we will see how it turns out

Now I know who stole all The Abercrombie hardbacks! 😭😂 Absolutely stunning Collection! 😍

Thank you! My Abercrombie collection is one of my most treasured collection. 😁

[@DanielsBookNook]

Wow!! And I thought I had lots of books! I’ll have to do a tour when I launch my own channel. Thanks for making this video!

im about 25 mins the video , im loving the collections . im in awe haha espesially those berserk volumes!

Thank you so much! Took me years to gather Berserk Deluxe hardcover. 😂

[@glassninja]

I am in awe good sir, hope you have that book collection insured, thats an investment!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! They are truly an investment! 😆

[@mpcoomber]

I just found you, and it’s refreshing to find someone who is humble and kind in every way. I don’t have any friends who actually read the material I do. I have a bad image of the typical epic fantasy fan to be smug (I know, it’s not healthy), so when I see someone like yourself, it gives me hope! Thank you for your hard work 👍

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you for the kind words. I can't fault your thinking. There are MANY smug fantasy fans. 😅

[@mpcoomber]

@@PetrikLeo as you well know, the fantasy genre gets a bad name. There is a stereotyped staple that marks it as childish and lifeless. I think this makes fantasy fans grasp for proof of prestige in the genre. I’m all honesty, I think it’s just important to remind ourselves that if we love a specific genre or book, why does it matter what the consensus think we should be reading or what others are interested in. If we enjoy a story, that should be all that matters, whether it’s popular or not. And you convey this so incredibly well. Thank you for creating that safe environment!

[@the_fools_tale]

What a collection! Honoured to be among it Petrik!

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you for your book, Andrew! 😄

[@ABookishBalance]

Maybe a shelving company will see this and want to give you a sponsorship 😂. Really impressive collection, its so cool that you can finally call it a library 😊.

[@PetrikLeo]

Haha! That would be amazing. 😁 Thank you so much for the kind words! 😄

[@nazimelmardi]

It’s more than impressive, all in printed form, tons are in special editions.👏 I miss a lot from reviews. You have a lot of books that are not mentioned enough in booktube and I’m only talking about fantasy (and some scifi).

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I wish I have the energy and time to talk about them all in detail! :D

[@tiffanycorsello1886]

Friend....you need more bookshelves. Hahaa! Thank you for sharing your impressive library! Now that I am a John Gwynne fan, I'm drooling over your hardcover collection of his works! Loved seeing all your stickers, bookmarks- LOVED the framed puzzles- and art prints! You have made me pay more attention to book cover art- and I thank you for that. AND YES, Choco Boy is indeed MAJESTIC :)

[@PetrikLeo]

Thank you so much, Tiffany! Your support means a lot to me. I treasure my John Gwynne collection! Definitely will acquire Fury of the Gods hardcover, too! 😄

Thank you! Book readers are destined to become tetris master. 😂

[@cosyreadingtimes8857]

Oh wow, what a beautiful collection😍 I'm a little surprised that out of all the Backman books, you don't own Beartown, as it is the one that seems to me to be maybe the most aligned with your taste.

[@Wally_stad]

I’m over here with an iPad and a digital library card. Great collection! Makes me miss collecting a little. I just stopped enjoying holding books when I read. I’m spoiled now! I might go for a set of the new malazan hardcovers though.

[@PetrikLeo]

Nothing wrong with that! If you can conquer the urge, it means you have more spaces 😄 Malazan hardcover will look so good! 😁

[@cilliansands6166]

Thank you so much for doing this. Every time you post a book haul I get stressed out about the space. I don't think it's disorganized at all, it all looks very neat and clean and I love your taste in furniture. Is the long blue table from exhibit 2 part of a set with your computer table? I just love the light blue color and I love your curtains too. Book stacks are sexy, little brother; your library is genuinely the library of a true reader not someone who has books as decorations. Excellent video, P. Thank you for all the work you put into it.

[@PetrikLeo]

Aww thank you so much! That's one of the kindest things I've heard about my bookshelves. 😄 And yeah, the long blue table is a set with the PC table. 😄

[@readerinthedesert_SaraBeth]

❤❤❤

[@heretic124]

If you ever want to make some space I'll buy that regular edition of The Shadow of the Gods for reasonable price. Because if you think Empire of Silence in hardback has crazy pricing you should check what people are asking for TSotG.

[@PetrikLeo]

Holy moly, this can't be real. I saw a $2000 price on ebay for Goldsboro edition of Shadow of the Gods and Hunger of the Gods. That's insane!

[@AaronR.Williams]

The Dragons of Terra trilogy by Brian Naslund was what got me into fantasy. I really enjoyed it. I haven't seen many people talk about it. I think it was his debut?

[@PetrikLeo]

Ah yessss! That's the name of Brian Naslund's trilogy. I forgot the name here. Yeah, that was his debut series. Seems like the author hasn't released another book since then. The first book was really good! :)

[@PetrikLeo]

When I own a hardback and paperback, most of the time, it's because one of them is gifted. Like The Poppy War. As for reading, I tend to prefer hardback if I have both. 🙂

i didn't know you have the Unspoken Name. Someone gifted me the hard cover, but i haven't read it yet

Hey, that's only at least 25 years of reading for me at my current rate. It's a very nice collection. I love the series that create a scrawling picture. I wonder how many non-duplicate books this comes out to though? And do you rival any local libraries?

[@PetrikLeo]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 😄

[@TeamCarbos]

Your bookshelf is missing Glen Cook and R Scott Bakker. And more Gene Wolfe. Anyway, I saw your US covers of Sun Eater, and they were quite different than the EU ones. Which made me think about others too, like Path of Ascendancy. And I wonder, can you do another video of comparing different covers of books? Because that was you right? Or was that Daniel? Pretty sure it was you

[@PetrikLeo]

I sold my Glen Cook's books. As for Bakker, I own the ebooks. The cover art is too hideous. I don't want them in physical format. For Sun Eater, it is a different art compared to the UK/Europe ones. Not sure I ever made a US vs UK cover art video though. Probably Daniel? 😅

[@TeamCarbos]

@@PetrikLeo Why did you sell Glen Cook?! Dread Empire is imo even better than first law. Probably Daniel😅 I just vividly remember a booktuber comparing US vs UK covers and ranking them.

[@Jistarii]

As someone with a similar amount of books. Let me ask you this question i was asked the other day. If i offered you 2 million dollars for your entire library would you take it? My answer was no. To many memories

[@PetrikLeo]

It will be difficult... but 2 million dollars can buy my entire collection of books (not counting the limited ones) again! It will be super hard to part ways with some of my most treasured books, but I dunno. I'll think about it if the offer ever comes! xD
