Dude your production value is unmatched on the booktube scene..

[@avikmondal6271]

Honestly, he deserves way more attention just for that. AND his content is bomb too.

[@sergiovzv]

Honestly, I like Jay's videos even before the first ten seconds have passed

[@CapturedInWords]

Much appreciated!

[@milospollonia1121]

This channel is known for quality, great editing, Jay being amazing and now, apparently MEMES

[@joshuam772]

So much Zelda... So many nice covers (looking at you UK Mistborn editions)... And MERPHY NAPIER gave you her annotated copy of The Name of the Wind?!?!!!?!?! You have a goldmine there my friend. Great video too btw. And great job on your work on Daniel's and Elliott's covers 👏👏👏

[@vinnypecaski3975]

i actually wished it was longer, but overall, i loved it!!

[@CapturedInWords]

Guess I didn't need to worry about people being bored haha! Glad you enjoyed!

[@abhascoolful]

Thats what shee said

[@patsmythos]

Your video editing, effects, and presence on screen are on another level. You could be talking about anything and I’d be enthralled.

[@AnilKumar-mp9hk]

Editing is out of this world

[@Danny_Matson]

So many little hilarious moments and superb editing touches which make this infinitely better than every other bookshelf tour on KZbin.

[@crisnice1]

HEY THAT "TORTOISE DUDE FROM KUNG FU PANDA" IS AWESOME. SHOW SOME RESPECT (jk. he's cool tho)

[@berrelleza151210]

Master Oogway deserves some respect 😅

[@CapturedInWords]

So sorry Oogway! he is indeed very awesome 😂

[@EhsJaySaunders]

I *didn't* know that you did the cover and layout of Peace and Turmoil (which I quite enjoyed). Well done! Also, I totally get preferring the unabridged Star Wars audiobooks with the high production value, but, if you haven't, you should really check out the original EU books that maybe didn't get the full treatment. There are some true gems, and I'm that guy who even was loving it all the way to the end...still hoping for Sword of the Jedi someday! ALSO also, if you're the Whovian you appear to be, and you like listening to all the things, the Big Finish audio dramas are downright superb. I've been going through in chronological order (as best as one can with Doctor Who), and my wife and I have been listening to things like Gallifrey, The Diary of River Song, and The Eighth Doctor Adventures together. So good!

[@maayanlaufer821]

When you have 38k subscribers but you are still underrated you know you do somthing right

[@sayde_reads5357]

I’ll have you know I’m screaming rn. I commented on one of your videos a while ago when you mentioned doing the series “Remember Reading” and I said “wow I can’t wait because there’s this series I really used to love about a boy who rides a giant bear around and there’s a floating city in the sky” and ITS THE EDGE CHRONICLES! Amazing!! Mystery solved. Thank you for your content. Your shelves are next level 🥰

[@CapturedInWords]

I remember you commenting that!! Idk how I didn't put it together that it was The Edge Chronicles 😂 Well I will definitely be making a Remember Reading video on that series!

[@nicole73551]

Wow. Nicely presently! I respect the time you must have used to pull out and display books in such a visually pleasing manner, then edit your filming into a smooth and entertaining viewing of less than 15 minutes.

[@nomeatoa8360]

[@CapturedInWords]

Coming soon! 😉 Haha Thanks

The Edge Chronicles were my favorite growing up. I feel like not a lot of people know about them, I may even give them another go now that I'm like 2 decades older lol

[@rohanmanro3765]

And I thought I was the only one who haven’t read all the books on his bookshelf😅😅😅.... And by the way I love your shelf, and would like to have a similar shelf of fantasy books one day too. The idea of deep freezer. Wow!

[@DragonArmyBooks]

Loved this. I would have watched another half hour (at least) of the tour! You inspired me to clean up my shelves and finally bite the bullet and purchase more shelf space. Thanks Jay!

[@CapturedInWords]

Glad you enjoyed!! I guess I didn't need to worry about people finding it boring! Enjoy your new shelves!

[@Sameranth]

Loved the video. Not saying you should be as thorough on your middle grade shelves as you are on other shelves, but you don’t have to be so brief! I found a lot of my young reader memories coming back as I paused and looked through those shelves. Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke was what got me into fantasy in reading when my dad and I read it in first grade. Also things like the Deltora series by Emily Rodda and others were cool to see again. I actually got my little sister-in-law the Deltora series last year for Christmas. Trying to turn her into a fantasy nerd. Loved the tour.

[@CapturedInWords]

Yeah I regret speeding through a bunch of my shelf, I guess I was worried people would get bored and wanted to make the video more fast paced 😅I read Dragon Rider when I was in grade 4, so many great memories! And Deltora Quest was one of the series that got me into fantasy, I was obsessed with it. actually, soon I plan on making an entire video talking about Deltora quest! That's awesome you got your little sister-in-law the series, hope she enjoys it!

[@loriannwhite8384]

Skipped over George Martin’s ASOIAF? How could you?? Hahahaha.

He has just read the first book😭😭😭

[@starkazing7817]

I always love seeing the bookshelves of other people! I actually read the first Murderbot novella today and I really enjoyed it. Excited to hear what you think.

[@dontdoitsayan2921]

I sometimes feel so bad when other booktubers promote you by saying that you edit your videos in a super cool way because I believe that your content is equally good and so people should subscribe to you for both the content and cool edits, but boy oh boy you killed it with that intro in this video.😂❤️👌

[@CapturedInWords]

Haha thank you!! I recently had someone tell me on a video that "the fan art made the video" and I was thinking... but what about my narration and editing 😂 Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@bmoneybby]

@@CapturedInWords Are you self taught for video production or by schooling or anything?

excellent video I think you'll like malazan book of the fallen i'm reading book 2 right now and really enjoying it.

[@WritingNemi]

I love that you have some of the Invisible Library series! I've got em all and I've read the first two and they're amazing! I also read The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and I like it. Prepare for some twists and turns! Love your bookshelves and you give me motivation to read more! Thank you!! 🤘🖤

[@CapturedInWords]

Much appreciated!

[@MagusMarquillin]

Haha, I was just in the middle watching a booktuber I've never watched before tour her bookshelf (Sabine's Book Nook, counting her unread books) and then this notification popped up. I guess I'm in the mood for swimming through someone else's books like Scrooge McDuck!

[@CapturedInWords]

Haha perfect timing!!

[@MagusMarquillin]

@@CapturedInWords Cheers, it was a lovely tour/swim and a sweet collection! Odd random question: have you read "the sword" by Deborah Chester (14:02) cause I just decided not to get it 2 days ago when I saw it at the local Goodway and it's probably still there. Judging by the look of that shelf's books, they're all second hand and not your priority reads, but I thought I'd check. Also Labyrinth and Storyteller: I love the originals - are they good adaptations?

[@Thadius_Invictus]

I love your personality pal, thanks for sharing it, and your collection. I was also hesitant to read the Broken Empire series and even through the first few chapters I wasn't impressed, my friend said it was one of his favourites so I kept reading and now I actually think it is one of the better series I have read. I really enjoyed it. Don't dismiss it yet.

[@mitchsimoes1305]

I actually just started The Murderbot Diaries!! really excited to hear your thoughts on the series

[@CapturedInWords]

Awesome!

[@jasontucker1978]

Really enjoyed seeing the love for the original Dragonball series, as well as Pluto and 20th Century Boys. If you haven't read Dr. Slump, I very much recommend it for that great DB comedy feel.

[@sheyslibrary]

Such a fun bookshelf tour!

[@TheRASDEL83]

Great Tour! I loved pretty much everything... except for Zelda... confession time... I could never get into that series o_O. FMA is my favorite anime of all time, I wonder if you ever read/watch "HunterxHunter"?? Amazing manga/anime series that I definitely encourage you to do if you haven't yet!

[@gabisarcanum2022]

I also have a Rhythm of War wallpaper on my computer! Hahaha loved the video!

[@CapturedInWords]

Great minds think alike! Haha glad you enjoyed!

[@carogallasc1848]

Winter's Promise!! I love that one and don't hear talked about enough. 4t4 and final English translation comes out September so it's good time to consider it ;) I think it's considered steam punk fantasy, with strong mystery underlying elements and neat magic :)

[@Nicknack285]

13:20 Stephen Lawhead needs more love! You should definitely check out his King Raven trilogy! Best iteration of Robin Hood!

[@stephenwalls4007]

I enjoyed your editing. Thank you for the hard work and the tour!

[@jenniferwood144]

Great set of books and nick nacks. You’ll love Muderbot, I’ve been plugging those books since they were first published. Enjoyed :)

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks Jennifer! Can't wait to start reading the Murderbot Diaries! I'll definitely be making videos on em :)

[@escaperealitybooks1651]

What did you think about The Legend of Drizzt series? Have you read all the way to Relentless? You don't see many people talk about these novels.

[@MPScrimshaw]

Great to see so many Legend of Drizzt books. I'm not the only one with the whole series taking up tons of room on my shelves lol

[@CapturedInWords]

I really want to get back into reading them! I believe I read up to about book 10, then just kept collecting them as I found them on sale. I reread the Dark Elf Trilogy several times, so I might reread The Crystal Shard soon

[@MPScrimshaw]

@@CapturedInWords this is like exactly what I did. Fell off around 14 or so but just kept buying them from used book stores

[@plungeybabie]

David Gemmell is labelled in "a few others" by the gods!

[@CapturedInWords]

Just bought those books recently at a used bookstore! I need to read them soon, since I've never read any Gemmell

[@plungeybabie]

@@CapturedInWords fair enough, my comment was for comedic effect more than outrage.

[@samuelleask1132]

I’m so glad you ended up doing this video! I’m ready for the new recommendations I’ll get from this haha

[@CapturedInWords]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@CrysisMusic]

I just finished Name of the Wind by your recommendation. It was soooo good. Made the mistake of using it as a break from finishing stormlight but now I need to read Wise Mans Fear immediately. Brando Sando will have to wait until after...

[@yoshaosaxofonista]

Nice method to show the books through static pictures framed

[@nohelanikh6788]

You have an amazing book collection! I love the variety of books that you read

[@CapturedInWords]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Safeguard1]

I am beyond jealous that you already have the Red Rising books, I wanna read that series so bad! Also, the King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence was a great book, I have not read the others but Lawrence is a great author if you like Locke Lamora then you'll like that series. The main character is sorta like an anti-hero.

[@AJayRisen]

Have you read The Black Company series yet? I've been collecting them in the last month, but I don't see anyone talking about it on KZbin. Also, I'm gonna be in trouble now that you've given me the idea of putting a chest freezer inside my study. What a grand idea to have a box full of ice cream in the area that I work in! Edit: Also I hope your mom has been doing fine! :)

[@JolienReads]

I really like your bookshelves! Thanks for the video, I can definitely see all the work you put in them! Have you read any of the Dragonlance books? I'm thinking of starting that series.

[@CapturedInWords]

Thank you! I read the first Dragonlance book years ago and remember liking it. It's very old school and trope filled but still a lot of fun, I will probably reread them soon actually since a new Dragonlance trilogy has been announced to release this year

[@MagusMarquillin]

Dragonlance holds a significant portion of my soul - so I heartily recommend. Not all Dragonlance authors are great, but the prose of Margaret Weis, Chris Pierson and Richard Knaak are dependable.

[@viatori5566]

Dude, I just came across the book the choice of magic and am absolutely entranced. We have very similar taste in books and I've got a lot of great recommendations from you so I thought I would return the favor. You've probably already heard of/ read the series but if not, enjoy!

[@jvariant8445]

[@kylerbeatty6042]

Such a phenomenal collection! Keep it going! I know you have a lot on your to-do list, but If you want some recommendations, you should delve into Dante’s Divine Comedy; there is a brilliant translation by Allen Mandelbaum. It is one of my personal poetical favorites. Looking forward to the next review video!!

[@CapturedInWords]

Oh wow that's crazy!! Haha well if you ever wondered where that chest came from, it's from the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean movie and was a toy included with children's Burger King meals at the time 😂

[@arieljr.caldit5608]

Pendragon! One of my first favorite fantasy set when I was young.

[@CapturedInWords]

Haha honestly I have no clue, I think i got it as a birthday gift back when the movie came out back in 2008 😅 WALL-E is awesome!

[@chief8625]

Did I see a copy of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini on one of your shelves? If so, have you read it? 11/22/63 is one of my favorite Stephen King books. It's a little different than some of his other work, and it was my introduction to his bibliography.

[@neilwalker7849]

Hi I noticed on your last shelf you had David Gemmell's Rigante series. Have you read them? I'm reading them in March/April for the first time. Although I have read his Drenai series which is great and he's now my favourite author. You should try his Drenai series especially Legend and Waylander. Cheers. Neil

Vinland Saga is one of the greatest mangas to date. It’s just as good if not better than Berserk and Vagabond. I was really suprised by it. And luckily it’s still easy to pick up all the hardcover volumes. I was also really glad to see some Cormac McCarthy there he’s one of my favorite writers of all time. And nice Forgotten Realms books I love all the main Drizzt books by Salvatore.

Lawhead's Song of Albion. I loved that series. I've read it several times. I don't think a lot of people know about him.

I've only read the first one and it was years ago, but I plan on reading them all soon!

@@CapturedInWords Lawhead was probably my first exposure to Celtic fantasy. First with his Pendragon Cycle and eventually with Albion. I like it, but Albion is not epic high fantasy, so don't get your hopes up if that's what you are expecting.

It's been awhile since I read it but I remember feeling quite mixed. There's things I liked about it, I really liked some of the dreamlike elements. But for a post-apocalyptic book it's also fairly repetitive and boring at times, and there's some stylistic choices with the writing I didn't care for. I would like to reread it at some point though in order to form a full opinion and make a video on it
