Turning Around EVERY UNREAD Book On My Shelves

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

For those of you who asked why I didn’t show an end result clip, I didn’t even think about it and will do this in my April wrap up video for you!

[@jamesdayton5320]

dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother recently =)

[@bradleyyael6853]

@James Dayton yea, I've been using Instaflixxer for years myself :)

[@Milanaie]

I was wondering... wouldn't it have been easier to turn around the books you hàve read instead of the ones you haven't read? That way at least you could see the titles of your unread books and maybe one of them would have stood out more to you to read sooner? :D this was strangely entertaining though!!! :D

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I have more attachment to the ones I’ve read so I’d much rather see the spines of those. 😊

[@Milanaie]

@@HollyHeartsBooks haha I understand!! Though I really felt for you having to turn around entire shelves :D !!

[@neojuns3852]

maybe she'll be more motivated to read books she randomly picked

[@weerwolfje99]

Because one does not simply turn all the spines of Joe Abercrombie! Those spines bring joy to our hearts. ;)

[@itsjustmekiks]

That is my plan for next year!!!

[@justvynexa]

have I thought about doing this before? no. am I looking at my bookshelf and thinking about it? absolutely.

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

😂😂

[@nicol8423]

I don't have as many books as you, but still have a huge amount of unread books. It's not a bad thing, it means you have a lot of amazing reading waiting. Love your collection btw.

[@danielleoliver1734]

I kind of want you to pull a mystery TBR from this, you still know what genre/age range is where. Either that or a scavenger hunt for certain books you know you own

[@ninac.5921]

this is such a good idea!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Your wish is my command 😉

[@nestwithbooks]

I don’t get way people shame others of their amount of read books. So many books to look forward to.

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Exactly!

[@tomboyz151]

I think I would actually like to do this, but the other way around instead! I might turn the books that I've already read around, so that I can see how many unread books I have & exactly which ones they are. 😊

[@sinwolfe4868]

I have a shelf by my bed specifically for unread books and sometimes it scares me but I enjoy taking them off that shelf and finding them new homes (there proper shelves.

[@SannaGS]

I did this to my contemporary/romance shelves! It's so satisfying to turn them around once I've read them. 😍

[@amusicalbookworm]

I actually like this idea, aesthetically!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Right?! It actually looked cool.

[@basho4306]

Me too. I actually had this for a while but it made me crazy cause I was worried that the pages would get yellowish

[@ritapereira2546]

I really liked that you do original videos, thank you for that

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Aww I’m happy to hear that! I try my best.

[@Storycharter]

I'm new to your channel and I never knew I'd enjoy this much the sounds of books hitting the shelf, the shuffling and talking while you turn around the books. So enjoyable!

[@kazifiiiied]

Is it weird to find the sound of books being put on the shelf satisfying? I really liked this idea, actually. I saw The School for Good and Evil flipped around- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING IT

[@abigaillrodriguez6400]

I love that you didnt sped up and put music over it was satisfying to hear you turn them! Also I did the opposite thing but same concept. I turned my read books around so I can only see my unread books. I like it, that way I can get to my tbr which is llooonnggg! Loved this video and happy it was recommended to me. Gonna subscribe ♡

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I have far more attachment to the books I have read. I could never turn around my favorites 😅

[@cleo7004]

This is like ASMR for me. Thank you for the good content, I'll probably do this on my own shelves.

[@nessg1043]

I'm doing this! Love the idea, it makes me feel like I should spend less and focus on what I have since books are such a luxury. ^_^

[@holleydupre2669]

So brave to film this! Unread books just means you never have to worry about running out of stuff to read! I also love the voice-over style.

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Exactly!

[@meggaroo2]

I love how this was like a little shelf tour and I would love to see this yearly.

[@alexandria509]

I did this as well. It made it much easier to choose my next read, instead of debating on my choices.

[@isabelladasilva796]

This is actually genius. How you said it was like a coloring book is so cool. I would love to turn the book around after I read it and fill in space. Amazing ❤️

[@irum9264]

I want to do this! It'll be so good to just pick a book on my TBR list without knowing which one it is first :) I like surprises

[@shaunaXX]

This makes me feel so much better about my collection of unread books📚

[@imstillalive4990]

Omg this video motivated me so much to do it by my own bookshelf because it would be so much easier to see what book i didn't read

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Yay! I’m happy to hear that!

[@OlyBliss]

‘Are you going to judge me for all my unread books- No’😆 I love the guilt free fearless attitude! I really loved the Hyperion Cantos it’s one of the most edifying reads I’ve had in years but you have to get to the second book to start to feel the full effect. The first book is just a great adventure and by the fourth you will be changed- for good! You’ve done so well though and heaps have been read. I loved daughter of smoke and bone I ended up going to Prague just so I could see the Charles bridge because of it😄 loved this

[@aname4700]

I love how almost all those books are the same height! :0 I think that in my country publishing houses don't produce books like that, each one have a different height (which is sad because it is not that aesthetically pleasing lol)

[@kelsenator]

This is such a good idea!! I might try that once I get my new bookshelves up.

[@nickireads1060]

Such a great visual! You could take photos of your shelves like this and at the end of the year do it again and compare the photos to see how much progress you made. 😊💙

[@Greeneyedgirl0704]

That black book is awesome! I need to get on girls of paper & Fire too!

[@Books4Lifechannel]

I think this is a neat idea! I only have unread books at my house because once I read them I put them in my classroom library. I think this would be really motivating. I also am terrible at reading book box books, so I've decided that I am going to read one a month to help me get through them!

[@Wolfhailstorm]

I actually like the idea of turning around unread books if your have them mixed in like you have! ^^ This was fun to watch

[@heatherb290]

I think this is an awesome idea that I maybe want to try. It would be so rewarding to read a book and flip it back around and also would make me motivated to read more. :)

[@starry_worlds]

This is such an interesting idea. I loved it. It would be interesting to see this every year tho.

[@Samminthebox]

At least I’m not the only one with a plethora of unread books on my shelves. 😅

[@theteacupbrigade8242]

I am dying for that shirt!!!!! This is a really cool idea but if I do this to mine I’ll be turning pretty much all of them! 😂 My library has that version of the Night Angel series and it is SO gorgeous! 💜Bassy

[@DirtScraps]

Love this idea! Definitely going to give it a try.

[@aneweliseonlife]

I love this! No guilt should be felt - only anticipation for all the options you have at your fingertips! I see so many books I also have and haven't read, and some that I have, so it was kinda cool to compare~

[@joshfriesen1981]

I think that's cool. It is a good guide to see what still needs to be read.

[@luciabartoletti4564]

I really like this video, it made me feel better because i have tons of books i haven't read and i feel super guilty and this gives me a pat on my back. Thank you!!

[@misspenneylane]

"if you're here to judge all the unread books I have, NO. Go Away!" I literally laughed out loud at that :P Amazing!

[@amaniamiller]

Get the paperback versions of those Percy books. I did. ^_^ Much easier. Those big ones are perfect for coffee tables.

[@minttbun5893]

I kinda like this idea. I think it'll motivate me to read them

[@jagodak.6867]

That is a great idea, I will do that with my 2 and a half bookshelves! This will motivate me to not buy or borrow new books until I read the ones I have!

[@bookishtopics]

I actually like that look. It really does make the room look cleaner and brighter. The only difficulty is that it might be harder now to find a certain book that you will want to pick up next. But it does look good

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I have a very good idea where every book I own is so that wouldn’t be a problem. 😊

[@mandapanda9490]

I like this idea as a motivator for helping read those unread books and kicking your TBR in the face!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

YES!

[@momosquad23]

Omg you have marcy Kate Connolly books! I'm reading her shadow weaver and really liking it. I love this video. I might try it with turning around what I HAVE read to kinda encourage reading the ones I haven't.

[@gdlewisable]

I did this today. Oh my goodness I have so much to read!!!

[@ChelseaPalmerBooks]

I always want to do this just to see the actual ratio I have but I know I would spend a day flipping them and then not be able to sleep until I flipped them all back around 😂

[@amberbray6037]

I am going to do this and use it as motivation to get out of my reading slump!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

That's awesome!

[@chloecharlton3837]

I like to do this too! I used to do it when my books weren't separated but I have a separate tbr shelf at the moment. i might go back to this though because I don't like the messy look of the tbr shelf compared to my other shelves!

[@Blkandsapphicreads]

Oh my gosh this is such a great video and idea! I’m about to watch more of your videos🌻

[@fallenleaf666]

Ooo, those colored page reveal got me excited for this lol

[@kispie]

I like your collection. I also like that you have a wider variety of genre's than most of the other female booktubers out there. While I like their video's they seem to stick to YA which is fine, but I love variety. Keep up the great work!

[@moojuice602]

You're my inspiration! I'm turning my channel into a book channel so I've started watching some book reviewers. :)

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Aww, that is so great to hear!

[@siebevi3719]

I really love this idea!

[@Sambookish]

The very next moment I finished watching your video I went to my bookshelves to do the same - and I like this idea a lot! It keeps inspiring me to actually read my damn tbr

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

That’s so cool! Yes it’s very motivating!

[@SannaGS]

I have turned around all my READ books on my contemporary/romance shelves! Not sure if I'll keep it that way but I love it at the moment. ❤️

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

That’s awesome!

[@racheldemain1940]

My Read and TBR books are in separate parts of my flat!

[@adamf1244]

How come you didn't show us the end result???

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Adam Formosa I honestly didn’t even think about it and will show you guys in my April wrap up video at the end of the month!

[@scottishbookworm8506]

I like the idea of this if I mixed my books because it would feel like an achievement each time you get to turn one around after reading it. Might go home and rearrange my shelves

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

It’s definitely a great motivator to!

[@jordanmessy9749]

The way I look at it the more books you have unread the more new worlds you’ll get to explore in the future

[@SavedByTheBook]

I love the idea of this video so much!!

[@haniawojcikiewicz6109]

Appreciate that!! I have my unread books not even on my shelf they don’t deserve

[@PegasusAnarchy]

I only have one bookshelf and actually I keep the unread books on the last two spots(of 5), while the 4th spot is half filled with read books tho every book I finish I place it next to the last finished book. (As in if I take one of the last spot, when I finish it I take one of the unread books from the 4th spot and place it down below until I read it, idk if that makes sense)

[@maureenandbooks]

I really like this idea! It’s a great motivator to get on reading!

[@carolineteague1927]

The Hazel Wood is an awesome book!

[@mariacastillo3168]

When I flip my books around like you are doing I help me read more unread books then look at the titles so I hope this help you to read more unread books on you tbr

[@Greeneyedgirl0704]

This is definitely a way to motivate!!

[@kaitlyndanielle7889]

I'm definitely going to do this. I have way too many unread books at this point.

[@sinaijones9260]

I would love to see another video like this next year

[@caoilo6812]

Love Girls of Paper and fire. I am so not judging you of about 300 books I own I have probably not read 250. It looks kind of good that way.

[@TheSoundOfGeorgia]

This is exactly what I do. I got the idea after seeing a video about the 'would you stack your books backwards' debate, and I love having my shelves this way.

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

That's awesome!

[@kaitlinsbookshelf6362]

I love your character bookmarks!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Aw thanks!

[@theBookMage]

This is such an interesting idea, I'd love to try it but unfortunately nearly all my books are stacked on my floor for lack of shelf space 😂 The end result of your shelves looks really cool though and would definitely motivate me to read more so I could turn them all around again.

[@5demonsinatrenchcoat498]

They come out so easily! Unlike mine who are crammed with each other.

[@kaitiecakes6868]

I put all my unread books onto shelves together and then organized them into adult and YA. I couldn’t turn mine around I love seeing the spines of them. Anyway, I have 6 shelves of unread books I own. I’m trying to make it smaller this year. I think I’ve almost got it down to 5 shelves. I’ve read 6 books this week so if I can keep that up I think I’ll be able to do it so I can buy more books 😊 oh, who am I kidding. I love buying books, I still do it. I have the mister by L.J Smith coming in the mail today for instance.. 🤫

[@alyssam2602]

I would love to see this video every year it is such a good idea and would give you an inspiration to read them. I have a goal to where I dont buy books until I have read each of the books I have because it gives me anxiety if i have so many books that I havent read.

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I’ll definitely keep that in mind and I totally agree having far too many unread books can cause a lot of stress.

[@wonderlandbr5651]

I love this idea!!!!! I will do this asap!

[@nerditthisway1375]

Your shelves are gorgeous 😍😍😍🤤 the organization is fantastic. Don't be embarrassed; this is an interesting concept. I decide how I read based on the spine. 🤔

[@hananfallatah4580]

Am I the only one who will buy books after I finish every single books on my shelf ?

[@stoyantonchev7983]

I never buy a new book before finishing the previous one. What is the point of having 200 books and read only like 46 of them ? I don't know ....

[@hananfallatah4580]

@@stoyantonchev7983 yeah just spending money

[@just_another_account8089]

Wait a few days with them flipped then pick 5 random books for May! :) I also haven't read Furyborn. Whoops. Hahaha

[@toughharley1903]

That's actually a good idea to see what other TBR still needs to be done or by the end of the yr you still haven't read then it's time to give away

[@Resolutey]

Awesome video! New subscriber over here! I was thinking of maybe you could film 2 videos: 1 at the start of the year with turning the books and taking a picture or something. 2 at the end of the year and show us the progress that you have made. "The book unturning challenge". Already in love with your channel!! Keep it going!

[@pastellpages]

Thank you! Now I don‘t feel so bad about myself anymore. I have the same amount of unread books... but idk care... some day i will manage to read all of them 😂😂 Just found your account! Subscribed already!

[@shelliingle571]

I have some of the books that you own,but most of them had in boxes and I hasn't read them since we had moved to our 3rd house. 😳 Right now I reading ebooks on kindle app on my tablet and some that I recently bought,but I think I will unpack the books that are unread and I will read when we move again.

[@macinnismama]

I think it would be super interesting to count up how many there were, put it into a random number generator and read which one it chooses (or the next unread in that series if it chooses like the 4th)

[@sydneydavis2728]

I love this idea.

[@bookishsix]

I love this idea! I might do this but opposite, flip them around as I read them 🙌

[@BrandysBooks61316]

That’s a great idea! I have such limited space that as soon as I get done reading a book I either keep it or toss it (not in the trash lol). All the books on my shelves are unread

[@shahadzubailah8423]

Omg you like kingdom hearts 😯☺️ love the video too

[@niebieskie2]

I don't hate this at all. I actually kinda dig it. Now you can pick a book and have it be a surprise blind date🤷. This would work better for me because I organize my books by size/hardback/paperback only, so I'd truly be surprised. You are so very, very organized and I'm a little envious of those skills. 💛 Great video!

[@mystery6293]

Can i just say. I loved this video. I've started this as well. And my shelfs. They look horrible. It really puts me in the mood to start reading to make the shelfs colourful again. One I'm ashamed of is my harry potter collection. I've only read three. Thanks for this awesome video. It made my day. I've subscribed CAUSE apparently I never did.

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Aww, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@CloverRose]

I like books with coloured edges and love how they look sitting on my book shelf that way. And I have books that looks better that way. I have one shelf with lots of different sizes and colours on it. Some sitting back to front and some on top each other. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like them that way and that's all that matters. I'm not creasing the spine or dog earring the pages. Some people need to chill

[@TaniaRayOfLight]

This would give me anxiety, i need to see the spines xD but i liked the idea! Great video 😊

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Haha trust me, when I was finished.. I was full panic. 😂

[@racheldemain1940]

Me too! I need to see the spines!!

[@regulusreader8062]

These videos make me want to add my unread to my read and do this and see how I like it

[@Nao-po3dx]

Ace of Shades is really good~ 😊

[@fallenleaf666]

I think it'd be a great thing to do every year even if it's just for you ❤️

[@haydnsaunders2006]

I have done this and it shows how much I have in read.

[@EmilyCheetham]

The glass spare is a really good and unique story. I’m an adult and loved it. Don’t diss YA there are a lot of good books in the YA section. You should atleast give them a chance. Read a chapter or two. I definitely recommend the glass spare. It also has a sequel called the cursed sea.

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I have a whole bookcase filled with YA 😂

[@mijuamina]

I think I will also try it. It looks so fun!

[@MaryAmongStories]

i've been thinking about doing this too! love the way you edited it ^^

[@JenniferJohnson-ny8mc]

Thank you for making me feel like less of a failure for having so many unread books in comparison to my read books! I don’t feel alone in this anymore! Haha The truth is that I only keep the books I want to reread someday and donate the ones that were just meh. But I do feel better there is someone else out there like me!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I do the same thing! I only want books I truly love on my shelves so it's kinda why there are so many unread because I just want to fill in the space.

[@timofeevbooks]

I think I might do this so I'll stop rereading the same books all the time. Seeing the books put in the wrong way will definitely drive me crazy!

[@helofhelheim4840]

I saw some Powder Mage books! I loved them! Hope some day you will too ;)

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I just got those last month and can’t wait to read them!
