i love rainbow shelves aesthetically but I don't like separating my series so I don't have a rainbow shelf. Instead i organize by genre.

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

Carl just finished our book shelf just in the NICk of time! Happy Bookish Holiday Friends😅😗🤭

[@corinneeaglebridge]

I personally keep my series together and after that put all the other books in rainbow! (I remember books mostly by their colour so it works very well, and that way I don’t have to split up series)

[@maGiCpinkBear]

i do this too with my stand alone books as well. but overall i arrage it according to the genres

[@sarahannkathrin3204]

My shelves have different levels of how I order them. The first level is the genre. Next I group them be author and after that I order them by vibes and color. This video made me so happy because I love seeing peoples bookshelves 😍

[@mel13102]

No because i literally do the same

[@ReadingNymph]

This was so fun! I painted my billy book shelves a dark forest green and love them! Such an easy way to change up how they look

[@samreadssome2403]

Thank you for mentioning the "digital library" incident. Yes pirating books when you have access is unethical but when pirated books are your only option...

[@babymariobrother3793]

Very interesting to hear you break down both these bookshelves and BookTube's consumerist tendencies. Didn't even know about the Colleen Hoover thing, so we love a king who keeps us both entertained and informed!

[@dnjreads]

I'm so glad you liked my shelves. The candle shelf has candles, mugs, and teacups on it. The only problem with the extra shelf is the bottom shelf is too short to stack hardcovers standing up now so I had to put them laying down.

[@joa2919]

This definitely gave me motivation (+ inspiration) to reorganize my own bookshelves (sadly, I have so many books and so little space 🥲) I’m definitely a ‘sort by genre’ kind of person!

[@khonrade98]

i love how cozy ur vids are!!! I'm away from home right now but I really hope I can set up my own bookshelves when i come back

[@TatyanaVogt]

Ahahaha! I was just scrolling on my feed and was like that looks like my library, oh wait it is!! Lol! I Clicked so fast! Love seeing all the different shelf submissions you got and you are so sweet!! Can’t wait to see what you do with your shelves! 💖💖

[@BrittanyandBooks]

This was so fun 💕 i definitely want to do a video like this in the future because staring at bookshelves is my #1 hobby 🤪

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

[@judethefourth336]

I love this idea and your comments about the bookshelves. Such pretty and creative ways of displaying the books. I have yet a long way to create my ideal bookshelf but this definitely gave me a lot of ideas and constructive criticism about how mine is presented now. I suggest as free decoration just using things that you have done like drawings, doodles, origami, maybe writing your favourite book quotes and put them in a jar... I love your channel! So cozy and full of incredible recommendations

[@mikanchan322]

your vibe is so calming, love the bookshelf commentary!

[@frances1227]

I loved this! I can’t stand those bookshelf roasts when people tear apart shelves people spent ages decorating and are proud of so this was really nice to watch.❤

[@apollineunow]

oooh i loved the video, and i’m always happy to see bookshelves inspo!! especially as i rearrange mine every month hfhfhfhfh!! and i LOVE ur sweater :)

[@AllyEmReads]

I only organize alphabetically by author and I don’t have any decorations on my shelves (I keep my books pretty far forward on the shelves) but one thing I do is I pull out the books that I haven’t read just a little bit so they stick out on the shelves and I’m able to find them at a quick glance instead of searching for them ❤

[@lyannastarkweather]

My shelves are nowhere near this level of aesthetic, but just seeing these shelves gives much inspiration!!!!

[@maybeimacat3183]

my bookshelf is color coordinated, maintaining the series together tho, since I'm a very visual person (I can't remember names, but I can remember the cover color lol) and I have a space for the books that I haven't read yet just so I don't forget them 😅

[@bettyreads222]

It's so nice to see how people display their books. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@celicaveidt7613]

So many lovely shelves, but that single volume of Witch Hat Atelier in the background got you an instant subscribe

[@roxanne7185]

I wish the pictures were bigger. I want to see them in all of its glory. Thank you for this!

[@tomatobreadsoup]

loved this content, joel!! i just moved to my current spot & have needed to take a few months to recover but this gives me ideas for how to fit a mini library in my lil room. plz do more vids like this in the future 🥺

[@ReviewsByLeyla]

I'm late to the party watching this but omg i now rlly want to completely re-do all my shelves bc this has fuelled fresh inspiration for me (also the colleen hoover comment, I fully cackled)

[@kipepeo259]

I am DESPERATE to know what those Night Circus and Starless Sea editions are omg

[@parnikajain3151]

I have a feeling I won’t see my bookshelf but here’s to hoping😂

[@jaida9468]

your partner👀 so happy for you and love your videos💖 oh btw is your necklace in 14:05 from ana luisa? i had my eye on this for a very long time. it is beautiful and classic jewelry

[@maybeimacat3183]

ANOTHER VIDEOOO LETS GOOOO

[@fictionalfates]

YESSSS LETS GOOOO

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

Carl just finished our book shelf just in the NICk of time! Happy Bookish Holiday Friends😅😗🤭

[@m_meeks]

pretty much all the books on my shelves are flipped so the pages face out lol. it started with only having my unread books flipped cause i don't have space, but i liked how it looked so much that i flipped them all. its really pretty when a lot are annotated and have tons of tabs.

[@mailyak442]

Yesssss love the library!

[@eliasbischoff176]

I will need to put up a second shelf in the near future, because the one I have is overcrowded and my self imposed one year book-buying-ban is almost over (I should probably extend it, considering how many unread books I still have) Anyway. I am currently debating whether I should separate the shelves into German and English, or into fiction and nonfiction. What do you wonderful people think?

[@misamaivalentine]

You're so cozy, thank you

[@livsommers]

can't wait to see ur shelves when u get the chance to share them

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

[@mailyak442]

I rlly want rainbow-organised books 😍

[@stefvnija]

i got so excited seeing my shelves 🥺💖

[@deathsheadhawkmoths]

i actually think slightly longer hair suits you really well !!!

[@AwkwardBookworm]

I organize by genre usually 🤗

[@mailyak442]

How do people have shelves as good as a book shop in their HOUSE 😭

[@3lea.strato]

did I hear... keyboard building?? 0.0 HELL YES

[@alyssacascos8665]

Not us waiting for Joel’s bookshelf reveal👀👀👀

[@bisorii]

omg i really want to have someone rate my bookshelf in a video. i always miss it when youtubers ask them to be sent though😭

[@julianicolato9265]

yes to the taylor swift sweatshirt

[@seochangbinsarms]

9:09 LITERALLY CACKLING AT THIS RN

[@Sambookish]

lmao, Sam here ^^ Thanks for choosing my bookshelves, they need a lot of improvement but can you guess my mangas are my pride and joy? And also.... the wrongly built billy bookshelf? It's only one I built myself and now I look at it eveyday to remember I can't even built billy bookshelves haha Oh and also, i actually have the double amount of mangas you see because the other side of my mangashelf is also shelved with mangas

[@denverhill7622]

I would submit my shelves to videos like this because I completely LOVE my FIVE bookshelves.... but unfortunately I can never get them all in one photo because of how my bed is lol P.s. I also one day will have built ins but instead of a ladder my one big goal for them is for the shelves to be celling height. Idk why but that's the dream...

[@nita0507]

Am I….early?!?!? Omg so excited for this video!! 🤍

[@auggiecrossing6267]

I organize my books alphabetically and don't need to organize in genre because most of my books are fantasy

[@mailyak442]

All I want is a beautiful bookshelf 😩

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

[@fallenashes]

books, chai, and stardew valley = me

[@asterismos5451]

I fucking love Leigh Bardugo but tbh you can skip King of Scars and especially Rule of Wolves. I loved Nikolai and Zoya's parts but the plot was just bad and somehow Nina's parts were bad too, rip.

[@rochellena4082]

Dang you dislike the leather bound plain jane
