My Childhood Home Bookshelf Tour 🌷

[@caricanread]

Right after I filmed, edited, and uploaded this, I found another giant box of books. I give a mini tour of the box on my insta! Not filmed: my entire royal diaries and thoroughbred collection lol instagram.com/p/CRjfjnfr_1O/

[@sabinassketchbook]

Haha a classic! I frankly don't know anymore how many books I still have at my mum's place XD

[@SavvyQuirkTarotandAstrology]

Love the book 📚📖 tour! Did you attend college in upstate NY? Nvm I figured it out at 10:40 😂

[@yumiincolor]

OMG I would love to see a full video your entire royal diaries collection. I was such a fan of that book series growing up. 🥲💚💚💚

[@keshiachristelle5112]

let me just say that i think having a librarian as a parent and growing up with books is such an amazing childhood. i am so jealous, congrats to you cari! ♥️♥️♥️

[@caricanread]

hahaha thank you so much! :')

[@lauf22]

I know this is not book related but I have a small story to tell you. I'm studying in the Netherlands atm and the other day I was eating at a restaurant and one of the waitress kept looking at me. And then by the time I was leaving she approached me and said she had the same necklace (your necklace) and asked me if I liked Ana Luisa. I said I did, but I especially liked this one because you design it and she didn't know who you are. She said she bought it because she really liked the design so I told her you had a video explaining the process and inspiration and she asked me to send it to her because she really wanted to check it out! So thanks to your necklace I had this weird and lovely moment the other day ^^

[@caricanread]

omg that literally makes me so happy thank you for sharing :'''') and glad you made a quick lil friend 🥺

[@laurenmiller149]

my second grade teacher had a rocking chair in her classroom, so after lunch + recess, she would turn off all the lights, sit in the rocking chair, and read us stories by lamplight while our class chinchilla, Whiskers, explored the classroom; we'd all lay on the floor and listen while he crawled in between and over us... this is how I remember reading James and the Giant Peach for the first time. definitely one of my most fond memories of school and reading in general 💕

[@locketgirl8500]

That sounds like a MAGICAL school?!!! A chinchilla???

[@krispy777]

I hope there are teachers out there still doing this. I feel like these are the opportunities to get kids interested in literature. My grade 4 teacher was wonderful. Not only did she read us Harry Potter (this was 1998/1999 fresh releases) but she also had book raffles. She would display a pair of books atop the blackboard. Then based on good behaviour or good efforts on schoolwork (I think), you got to put your name in for the draw for the books. I can’t remember if she refreshed the raffle names every time she got 2 new books or not. I remember there being a book about orcas and as someone who, to this day, is fascinated by whales. I did my best to get my name in the raffle for that draw, like a few entries. I was drawn first and had first choice, so I totally got to win the whale book. She must have had scholastic company perks or found high quality used books. I’m so grateful to have had her as a teacher.

[@floppybooks]

Thank you for the bookshelf tour! You actually remember the details of those books. That's amazing! Growing up in library - that's very nice and Matilda-like lol. Books with random bookmarks... Before my best friend passed away last year, she had given me her favourite books. I didn't think about it. Only after her demise a month later, I read the books and I found so many random bookmarks. It ranges from Big Bang photo card, her birthday card from a friend, airplane ticket, ticket to museum, ticket stub from movies, etc. It's amazing. I keep them all. I wish she had annotated her books, write and doodle. That would have been fun.

[@caricanread]

Omg thats such a magical and beautiful way to remember a friend 🙏

[@reminiscentoss681]

That's incredibly sweet. Once as a kid we were dropping off some library books (and picking up a few new ones) when one of the librarians at the desk turned around to us, and help up a photo they's found in a returned book, and asked if we knew who it belonged to. I turned to my mum really confused and said "isn't that Aunty X" or "why is Aunty X's photo here?". I thought it was so funny, and a neat coincidence that we were literally on our way to see her.

[@amistyday]

The Fairy Rebel was one of my favorite books when I was little. My mouth dropped when I saw it in your collection. I swear I thought I was the only one who has ever read or seen that book. NO ONE ever knows what I'm talking about when I've brought it up. It's a good one. 💕

[@caricanread]

omg same!!!!

[@rhiannoncownie7554]

Yes! So many great books. Angus, Thongs etc used to have me laughing out loud all the time. Horrible Histories is a staple in Britain, every child has read at least one book I remember being the only person reading Celia Rees books, I loved Witch Child (may read it again this summer)

[@caricanread]

yessss long live angus!

[@sdq81]

My husband has a copy of horrible histories. Medical of the middle ages. I don't know where he got it by my kids loved it.

[@muffit22]

It's amazing to see your love of reading has carried through to your adult years! I wonder how many people are similar to you, and how many developed a habit or love of reading only as they grew up? Personally, I was a general reader, perhaps a bit more than others as a child but now I am truly addicted and I love nothing more but to relax with a good book :)

[@caricanread]

i was a huge young adult reader but almost totally stopped in college/after college but now im back making up for lost time hehe

[@lauzingari6490]

I also had a "Horrible histories" (and "Horrible science") collection 😍

[@caricanread]

omg YES horrible science!!!!!

[@alicewiegold4425]

Don't forget Horrible Geography and Murderous Maths 😊

[@pendragon2012]

I'm super impressed that one of your childhood books was Little Book of Hindu Deities. Even from a young age, you were just that cool!

[@XxrazorxmintxX]

Totally organized my books by height as a child and still do 😅 Tallest on the left.

[@caricanread]

love it!

[@peachyskies8271]

yesss me too

[@Giga-lemesh]

My partner does this as well!

[@aidacelicaguilar7927]

I read the Doomspell when I was a child! All three of them. And you are absolutely right about the vivid descriptions. Cause what I remember the most about the book is this scene where one of the witch's assistants conjures a plate of teapot shaped sausages and chocolate pancakes. That image just stays in my brain forever

[@caricanread]

omg wait YES

[@slowdancers]

stealing books from schools because you know they'll be abandoned and probably thrown out is such a booknerd thing omg, I took one from my high school in senior year and I have zero regrets because it's a very unique copy! I also enjoyed you mini tour on insta, would've loved to see more of that big New York book :(

[@malinf6654]

Thank you for another lovely vlog. You always make me smile and in a better mood. As an adult I actual tried arrange my book in genre and alphabetically. It worked as long as I had shelf space but when I ran out of it it became a little messy in my bookshelves. I have started to read a couple of the more advance children book that I read when I was little to my children. I was so pleased when I read one of my all time favorit book to my eldest child and he liked it. It was about a little fox puppy that had lost his mum and another female fox came and decided to take care of it until the little fox's mum comes back. Happy reading in the future to you.

[@alodiah2422]

omggg, WHAT A notification!!! these are my favourite type of videos but unfortunately it's 1am here already and I have to wake up early, see you soon Cari hih, I truly want to watch this vid with utmost attention and appreciation, glad you arrived safely to the states tho, see you today :)

[@caricanread]

sweet dreams!!!

[@stephaniesews6603]

"Full frontal snogging" was my whole early teenage years. My diary of that time reads like that because I was so obsessed with it!

[@caricanread]

bahahah omg i wish i could parrot georgia's way of speaking/writing hahah

[@krispy777]

My childhood friend and I were obsessed with the quirky dialogue. We laughed out loud constantly and repeated one liners.

[@julia-mf2jd]

oh my GOODNESS Lousie Rennison! I never read the Georgia Nicholson books but I remember loving the books that featured Georgia's cousin Tallulah attending an arts boarding school - I think it was called 'A Midsummer Tight's Dream' ahahahah. Also, I am English and was RAISED on horrible histories, the books, the audiobooks and the TV sketch show which featured some brilliant spoof music videos! Ah, what a nostalgia journey this video has been :0

[@caricanread]

omg i need to read her other books i dont know why i never thought to look them up ahhh!!!

[@missragsdale]

ok wow you've just reminded me of some books i'd completely forgotten about!! i LOVED the books about Tallulah, even though they were completely ridiculous. all the gothic novel parodies were hilarious. gonna go see if the library here still has those...

[@kateharder6258]

Horrible Histories were my whole childhood!! 😍😍😍

[@caricanread]

yesssss!!!!

[@justlou2955]

I LOVED the library as a kid, I completely credit having an activel local library as the reason I'm still an avid reader (and library user!) as an adult. Ugh, libraries are the best ❤️💕

[@caricanread]

yes they are!

[@sabinassketchbook]

Piraaaates!!! Yes I read it 4 years ago and really liked it! Makes me think of an Isabel Allende story but with Pirates (if it makes sense haha, it has a 'Island Beneath the Sea' vibe in it). The situation the girls escape from is really bad and creepy, I remember feeling the danger from the pages while reading it. I love the parts where they find [okay, trying to not make a spoiler here] their "helpers in the forest". Loved also how their friendship grows, a lot of esteem between them. Loved it!

[@nataschasongbird]

This is so wholesome!!❤️ Finding childhood treasures is always so great, especially if they are books! By the way I organized my bookshelf by genre. Like classics, crime, fantasy etc……but I still need more shelves!! 😅

[@caricanread]

there were so many great books i had forgotten!!

[@tstockto]

Omg! The Fairy Rebel! That's a book I thought was a fever dream!!! 😂

[@reminiscentoss681]

I've started organizing my shelves by category (picture books, children's, ya, adult) and the date of publication, which I'm loving! It's given me an interesting visual view of both where my own tastes tend to lie, and a sense of how each category progressed and developed over time. Like, I never realized that Beatrix Potter's books are the earliest picture books I own, and when you compare her art style to a lot of the books that followed in the next 3-4 decades your realize just how detailed and comparatively colorful her work is, while still managing to stay very simple. I've always though of Beatrix as having a very simple style, with a limited color pallet, and while it's true you won't always see a lot of different colors being used in her work, she does use a whole range of tones and shades within the main colors she chooses. In that way, and with how fine her brush and ink strokes tend to be, you can see that she took a lot more inspiration from the three artists who came before her and who are credited with creating the genre (Randolph Caldecott, Kate Greenaway, and Walter Crane) they all had very ornate, detailed, even maximalist art styles. In any of Beatrix's biographies you get a lot of mention about how much time she would spend at the printers, making sure her illustrations would appear in the exact way she intended, and I don't know if this was due to the limitations or difficulty in producing high quality prints with a lot of colors at the time, but we don't see that level of detail in the following decades in picture books (not putting anyone down, the first half of the 20th century is literally my favorite period of time for the medium). It makes Beatrix's work really stand out from the often rougher and sketchier art styles that used inks and charcoals, with a limited use of solid colors to highlight a few key details. Anyway, I've been having a blast if you couldn't tell, haha! It's a fun exercise to try out and I would highly recommend if you have the time or if it sounds interesting to you.

[@ResemeeC]

I organise my shelves by series and then just how things fit too! I do put the prettiest at the top though

[@ResemeeC]

(Also I’m from Brighton but was not quite as cool as Georgia Nicholson as a teenager)

[@sawmea5308]

05:01 the absolute shock of finding a salinger book in your childhood bookshelf and then instantly disowning it is sending me 😂😂😂

[@caricanread]

bahahah i dont mind a few salingers but i def dont know this one and will NOT claim it hahaha

[@sarahlarue2935]

I didn't know that Horrible Histories were books! I watched the show pretty religiously and still love listening to some of the songs. They're so great.

[@superduperfriendship]

I feel like I've waited my whole life for this. take care cari!💗💗

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@rachelsaelid6081]

Awesome! I keep so many of my childhood books. They are so nostalgic.

[@KatelynCollison]

I also have a huge obsession with the Tudors and Anne Boleyn! I ALSO have Pirates!!! I've been moving it with me since I moved out of my home

[@caricanread]

someone with TASTE!

[@KatelynCollison]

@@caricanread It seems like we do have very similar taste in books! I stumbled upon your channel recently, so I'm excited for recommendations!

[@LovelyDray]

2:27 same! It was my favourite book until i learned the background of it… in case you‘re interested, the geisha the author used as „inspiration“ for the book took matters into her own hands and published her own „truthful“ version of the book as far as i know, although i don‘t remember the title… maybe you‘d enjoy that ☺️

[@caricanread]

yes i heard!! definitely need to read that version!

[@ktnew141]

I read the Doomspell books! I had totally forgotten those books until you showed the cover and I was like OMG! Loved them.

[@caricanread]

omg its just you and me on this earth that has read them i swear ahhahah

[@24jmt]

Pirates! Was my favourite book as a preteen. I still have it on my bookshelf because I can't let it go. It's too nostalgic!

[@caricanread]

I really should read it again before I fully pack it hahah

[@MrsAprilDarroch]

Oh my god I have been trying to remember the name of The Doomspell book for like 20 years!! Can’t believe I’ve finally found it I ADORED these books as a child

[@caricanread]

omg AHHH!!! thats how i felt with the Fairy Rebel hahahha

[@simply_sarah04]

I spend my whole childhood in libraries (and therfore hadn't bought a lot of books myself). I think I went to my local library at least once a week. 🥰

It’s so interesting hearing what phases we go thru reading when growing up. I was randomly into witches, ghosts, and early wartime stories? Very random but it was all I was about. That, and Edgar Allen Poe haha

[@caricanread]

yesssss!!!

[@kaleighlaurilynn]

Oh my gosh, you unlocked a memory I completely forgot about! My brothers were super into those Horrible History books when we were younger! I have no idea where my parents got them, I didn’t know they weren’t available in America.

[@caricanread]

yesssss!!!!!

[@Sthemingway]

I love The Fairy Rebel! You had that book too. High-five. Other than Harry Potter, LOTR, Jane Austen, and other iconic Young Readers series (Ramona Quimby, Nancy Drew, Babysitters Club, Hardy Boys, etc), it seems that people's childhood books vary the most compared to their highschool or college books. Cari's books roaming about your childhood home... that sounds like a game. Cari's Scavenger Hunt where the player must explore a house, a coffee shop, a book cafe, a seaside resort, and other places to find all of your books. Bonus points for finding roasted sweet potatoes, dduk bok gi, tea sachets, and all the things you love. ^J^

[@frey3298]

love this !!! my book shelves used to be chaotic but in lockdown i organised them by series - at uni I have them organised by size cause I only have one shelf

[@carolineblueskies]

Omg I was OBSESSED with Pirates!

[@FalafelSam]

I had a copy of "Heart of Darkness" on my shelf that didn't make much sense to me as a kid, and honestly, its still quite dense and abstract to me now haha. We did end up reading that one in school later on, though. Otherwise, I had lots of National Geographics around. That Petit Prince collection also reminds me of tackling that one in French class

[@caricanread]

i always remember the first word of le petit prince is 'lorsque' because the whole french class was like WHY DO THEY NEED ANOTHER WORD FOR 'WHEN'?!!?!?!?

[@PigeonCarriere]

YAY Horrible History! We had them in book clubs in Canada weirdly enough. I had the Measley Middle Ages

[@caricanread]

bahahaha a great one!

[@monkigear2177]

Pirates!! Omg I loved that book! Up there with Wild Magic, Wintersmith, and one I cant remember the title of now but it was small and red and had a picture of a the Kraken on the cover and the heron was bad ass🤷‍♀️

[@caricanread]

omg i love when you can only remember the cover art hahahha

[@lanapugh]

Mr. Poppers Penguins is the bomb. I read so many of those books that were published by that company with those illustrated covers.

[@lanapugh]

And then you made me feel incredibly old by saying you were in middle school in 2005. That’s the year I graduated college....

[@ArdentF]

Omg memory lane I loved the doomspell series! The imagery and emotions were so vivid to me as a child . horrible histories books were also the best try out the BBC series they are very addictive :)

[@caricanread]

yes!!! and ugh i missed out not watching the bbc series hahaha

[@procrasy]

Wow, that actually sent me into a look back to my childhood shelves. I think we only have the Harry Potter books in common (the last one of them was my first read in english). Teenage me was very fond of fantasy : I most notably found 13 books (big boys) of a series by David and Leigh Eddings. I barely remember any of it, but I know it was a fondamentale read for me. Also I just found out both author died ten years ago, damn. Edit: just finished reading the Eddings wiki page. Boy did I miss the dark stuff earlier.

[@Princesstayler9]

I love the Georgia Nicholson books. They remind me a lot of The Princess Diaries.

[@caricanread]

bahaha yes but maybe 100% more ridiculous ;)

[@beccabooked]

mr. popper’s penguins *memory unlocked* i remember loving that book so much but not what it was about either. nostalgia

[@rachelmaggi7266]

omg Pirates! my friend gave me her copy like 8-10 years ago when we were in high school and i never finished it 😭 never returned it either, it's still at home in my childhood bedroom gathering dust 😅

[@caricanread]

i really hope its not wildly problematic and my memory just blocked it out hahaha i have to reread it for sure!! such memories though :')

[@SunrizeRay]

The Tudors huh? Have you read anything by Phillipa Gregory? She wrote heavily around that period if I recall, used to save up my lunch money to buy a book a week when I was around 14. I remember really enjoying them. I too was a great Tudor fan 😅

[@00moon]

This is how I still organize my books, I barely have space tbh I stuff them into every nook & cranny, I just.. try to put the faves/ nice looking ones at the front.

[@00moon]

Horrible Histories like the BBC shorts on youtube available right now that I sometimes watch and also got another series about funny deaths?

Hey cari!I love your channel soo much!I have read so many of your book recommendations.But basically I was wondering if you could make a video on books that aren’t exactly fantasy,but also not realistic if you know what I mean. So you could recommend books like divergent and hunger games or Percy Jackson(that ones a bit more fantasy)But basically some of these books are either super overrated or super underrated if that makes any sense.I think they are all mostly pretty clean just straight forward good books,and there are more books out there like that,so I think that would be a very good video.Sorry this comment might’ve been a little confusing.But ly!

I also read Jonathan Safran Foer’s first two books when I was a child (maybe around 7th grade) and I loved them at the time. Are they problematic or how come you jumped over them? I’m just curios if I’ve missed something and should know about it..

He got a little creepy in his personal life. He became obsessed with Natalie Portman, was convinced they had a love affair, left his wife to be with her, and then Natalie was like “dude no, what? i dont even like you” 😅 all very weird

How come your books are free from yellow speckles and stay pristine after all those years? 😍

A child of a librarian just admitted to stealing a library book - is it sort of like being a PK (pastor's kid)?

[@caricanread]

if a book isn't being used then it deserves to be set free and brought to a home that loves it hahahaha

[@NEKO-mw9id]

I could not read a library book because I cannot read something and not write my thoughts. I underline and write what I think in every book because I’m the type of person who needs to say or talk about something that affected me in any way and because I don’t wanna go every 5 minutes but being people in my house, I just underline and furiously write what I think next to it in the book.

I know I loved Mr. Popper's Penguins and read it multiple times but all I remember is his wife had to learn to play the piano with gloves on? And obviously there were a lot of penguins.
