I’ve always organised my books in the order i read them and looking at them is like looking at a chronicle of my life. That and i like the fact that only i know where everything is 😇

[@taylor11111]

This is so cute. Something I may do but I don’t quite know the order of book read when I was younger/a teen. How do you organizer your tbr?

[@allicherryblossom]

I do the same thing!! 📚 I find reading a novel for the first time is such a unique experience that even upon rereading them I always remember where to put them back due to the memories associated with that point in time of my life! I love the idea that it is like a chronicle of your life, I never thought of it that way before ☺

[@TayliShai]

this is actually a really interesting idea i love it

[@shelleytaylor1778]

📚Former bookseller here. I can’t organize any way but genre, then alpha by author. I also reserve a couple shelves for my TBR and since I’m a mood reader those are in random order. Thanks for the fun organization video. The shelves look beautiful!

[@emilierobichaud1685]

I do the same

[@andraste6746]

Same and same. Anything else feels so wrong.

[@aiaugust84]

Same, but genre is so objective for me! My shelves tend to float in areas that are interrelated. Plus, I stress when I add something to my collection because I need to completely reorganize. 😂

[@mackenzielaveck6134]

I aspire to have a library like yours, so beautiful 🥰📚

[@malaallo]

📚 I organize my books by collection. All my puffin in blooms are together, all my everyman’s library are together,… I LOVE the personal touches you put in your shelves!!! It adds personality, it makes it look interesting and it just looks BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@georgiefarr1094]

I love organising my bookshelves. It's difficult sometimes to get it how we want it but I love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@alexandraroselyn]

Yes I agree! 🥰

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I cannot wait to see these gorgeous shelves decorated for fall!

[@heathers_happily_ever_afters]

📚 Your bookshelves look gorgeous! I do by genre, but also by read and unread. 98% of the books in my apartment have not been read. Once I read books I take them over to my parent's house and store them in my old bedroom. I also have a shelf for series I'm working on reading and then a shelf for series that I have completed reading. I have a total of 15 bookshelves between both places and 8 of those bookcases are double rowed on each shelf.

[@katherineb518]

The music at 18.34 is so beautiful. Love your bookshelves :)

[@Ladyanniemarie]

The way I chose to organize my shelves is first by genre then by series & then by author. So if an author has a large series that they wrote, it’s all together & then their other novels will be grouped there too for ease of finding them (:

[@KatieColson]

I need an unhaul! 200 books?! That’s insane. I loved this video. Such great organization ideas and great footage of the process

[@jessieartsdaily]

📚 I love your bookshelves! My mom and I have just created a library room and are in the process of organizing our shelves. Right now they’re by genre, then author, but I would love to do something like what you have 😊 you’re videos are such a treat!

[@Sadie896]

I organize based on genre, then author alphabetical within the genre to find specifics. But i think this is the best way. I am somewhat of a mood reader so I know when I'm feeling mystery/thriller vs. contemporary romance. So good job!

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I love book series. Therefore, much of my collection is placed in series/number order. The rest are filed (because they are mostly digital) by author name then publication date. My beloved art, craft, travel tabletop books are in a book shelf and stored with like topics together.

[@krisprepolec5616]

📚 I worked in a bookstore when I was in college, where I met my husband. We have a lot of books. I organize my books by non-fiction and fiction. The non-fiction is alphabetical by author within category. I then have all the mass market size fiction paperbacks together. They are alphabetical by author within category (classics, mystery, horror, sci-fi/fantasy, and general. Finally, all the hardcover and trade paperbacks are alphabetical by author, but I have the ones I have read are at the top, and then the rest. I also have a TBR shelf for what I want to read this year. So many books, so little time :-)

[@amberstiffler7985]

The new shelves are gorgeous and very satisfying. I agree with you that reorganizing books into their new home is exhausting. I just reorganized my shelves as well about two weeks ago and it was a long process and exhausting. But in the end and even now I love my new set up by series and grouping my favorite books together onto one shelf.

[@heatherjurado3840]

📚I love how your shelves turned out😍My favorites are your classics & Christmas shelves❤️I also organize my shelves by genre & add personal items of decor that have meaning to me and our family.

[@cortneyokeefe8833]

I honestly don't have a way I organize books because I don't feel like my collection is big enough to organize. 🙈 I listen to a lot of audiobooks. Your shelves are beautiful! 📚

[@brennasullivan8273]

Your home library is a dream of mine🤩

[@danieleigh6468]

I am a single mom of two teen girls who love to read as much as I do. I’m currently waiting on liver kidney transplant so reading is my escape. I would love some of your books! I will buy some 😊

[@hazelwilder]

📚 Right now my books are sprinkled in stacks and rows all over my apartment, but it’s definitely my dream to have a mini library in the future!

[@thatonetimeatdisney]

📚so many great books. Your shelves are goals for sure

[@kialazyeyereader1822]

I really can't wait to reorganize my books for Autumn, but I am also headed into a big move in the beginning of next year, so will have to pack aways my books in a couple of months and sell my beloved billy bookcases 🥺 But I kinda organise by age and vibe, but wanna try just vibe this time around 😌 and I am so excited to get my library up and running in my new home when I move next year 😁📚🥳 Also I love your bookcases sooo much! 😊

[@colleenheart]

You are such a joy to watch! PLEASE do a video on the books that you have in your Christmas section. I love that idea!!! We are a book loving family and we have tons of Christmas books for our kids that we only take out when we decorate for Christmas, but I love the idea of some Christmas books for meeeeee. ❤️

[@laiquende9971]

📚 I’m so glad KZbin recommended this video to me, it was such a joy to watch! That jug and plant look like they came in a set for that Beasts and Beauty book. You really have an eye for this. Just gorgeous!

[@livslibrary]

This video was perfect timing since I’m going to be organizing my shelves soon! 🙌🏻

[@jessicaellison7095]

I reorganize my bookshelves like once a month but I only have one bookcase right now so it’s not a big deal to pull it all off and put it all back. 😅

[@AprilsHome]

📚 This was a wonderful and inspiring video, your bookshelves turned out beautifully! I need to tackle my bookshelves and this video really gave me some great ideas for both styling and organization. Looking forward to seeing your fall decor as well! 😀📚

[@MarianaCrawford4u]

Thanks! You are truly a great content creator! I am reading my best friends exorcism and I love it! Have a great day!

[@girllittlemorbid]

Beautiful! I organize by genre (or subject for non-fiction).. Although some of them are genres that I made up. So I have like "fantasy, sci-fi, mystery "etc. But I also have " Personification of Death" and "Books I have an Unhealthy Attachment to" lol And I liked the rainbow order, but 90% of my book spines are black. 😆 So I made rainbow book covers for a few series. 😁📚

[@preciousgahan]

My bookshelves are chaos 🤣🤣🤣 gonna put up more shelves before I actually organize them 😊 I love how your shelves turned out!

[@nyxschmidt7728]

📚 beautiful! So jealous of your bookshelves. Ours are also organized by genre, and then by cover vibe!

[@serenanoce9554]

"I'm a romantic at heart. my great love in life are books." Lexi you are such a poet, I don't think there's a better caption than this one to represent all of the bookworms here 💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜

[@TayliShai]

absolutely beautiful, as usual. your shelves always give my such a cozy feeling

[@SarahAsYouWish]

They turned out beautifully! 📚 I also organize my books by genre. I need to get a new bookcase or two though because mine are crowded.

[@esliet]

Oh how gorgeous is your library !! Wow 😮 I would never ever leave my house with one like this. Can’t wait for your fall videos 📚

[@laurenmcgehean]

I'm in love with how this turned out! My current book collection only takes up one shelf on my bookshelf because I move so much and books are HEAVY lol, but one of these days I'll have a proper bookcase and will definitely be taking inspo from you 📚

[@TwoBirchHomestead]

I am catching up on your videos and I think this is my favorite way you’ve done your shelves so far 🎉

[@joannievh2071]

📚 I have always organized my books by genre and then author and have always been satisfied like that so basically kept it the way. Ever since I started reading in English (French being my mother tongue) I tend to never mix the languages in my bookshelves and I keep my nursing books separately and my dictionnaries have their own shelves as well (used to study translation before I went into nursing sciences). I really like the way your shelves turned out and I particularly love the one with the Earth globe. ❤️ I think I'll buy those frame holder as I oive the way it turns out!!! Did you keep the TBR shelves? 🤔 So looking forward to see the rest of your books! 🤗

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

I love how your shelves turned out!!!!! I organize by genre as well and then within that kind of by like aesthetic. 📚

[@Charlotte-ud2to]

So I have this thing where I never watch book videos in front of my husband because he's 10 years older than me and does not understand why I like to look at strangers on the internet 😂 But tonight I thought you know what, I'm just going to play your video on the TV. And my husband laughed and he said: 1. You look at me like your ashamed for being a crazy book obsessed woman. 2. You look like you totally adore this person and want to visit her bookshelfs. And it is all so true haha 💜 Accept for the ashamed part.. Because I just moved my bookshelves to our bedroom 🤣 Also, your bookshelves look so beautiful! I'm curious if they also work better for you now. 📚

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

In case you care to know these things, I'm watchiing this video again because I'm gonna be gone for a few days and I wanted to enjoy some of my fave booktubers' videos before I leave. I also have an appointment this morning and need to be ready in about 30 minutes, so I'm watching your videos until then. I've been watching Gavin's and Jade's for the past couple of days and I needed to watch yours before leaving, of course, so I'm here for now. I hope you have an awesome weekend. If you're posting this Sunday, I'm gonna try to watch the video, but I don't know how much I'll be able to watch since I'll be using my cell phone data. I also don't know what day it is when I'm somewhere else because I rely on my computer's clock to tell me so I won't know when things are posted. LOL... I'm not gonna post any comments while I'm away so I have more data to watch more videos since it's already not much, but I'm gonna be watching as much as I can and will miss everyone while I'm gone. I'm used to watching everyone's videos at all hours of the day and night so it's gonna be hard for me to not have that while I'm not here. I'll manage, but I'll miss you all. I love watching all these videos I've saved and am glad I decided to save them because it gives me something to do when I'm feeling crappy and have nothing to do or nowhere to go. While I'll be gone, though, I will be trying to get through my physical books, which I don't read much of unless I'm out of the apartment, and I'm hoping to be able to finish the 3 I started and start a new one, but don't knoww if I can since I read slowly and am not gonna be gone that long to be able to finish 3 books, but we'll see what happens. I might be able to read more than I think I will. My insomnia will control my reading and usually I'm too tired to focus on anything so that's why I don't think I'll be able to function but as I said, we'll see what happens. I'm feeling good this morning, so that's a plus! If I don't post on anonther video today, I hope you have an amazing weekend and week. I'll be watching everyone's videos more often from now on because I've missed them so much! I need to memorize them, but my bbrain doesn't let that happen. LOL So, I'll see you later, but you might not know about it. If that's the case, I'll see you again in a few days. I don't know how long I'll gone for so I can't tell you when I'll be back... Have fun this weekend, whaever your plans are. And, sorry for the lengthy message here. LOL

[@jamiewebb9775]

Love your shelves and your aesthetic! I have my own shelves organized by genre, then by author within the genre. 📚

[@hollysfiftyshadesoffiction3318]

📚I have no organization right now. I just have stacks of books and it’s insanity and whatever. Life! So I need shelves in my life and I love watching these videos but I have three small children in a small house and they need all the room for fun and toys! One day when they are in older and successful I will have my time for shelves again lol. For now I just jot down ideas for my perfect book space in the future! I love the Knick knacks and especially the little pops of greenery here! It’s all so pretty! Love the little stands for some forward facing books! Great job! Can’t wait to decorate for fall over here as well!!

[@isabel_p]

Lexi your bookshelves look absolutely stunning!!! I was so excited for this video after you did your tbr shelf which is also stunning. I organize my shelves my genre and then by vibes since there isn't a lot of reason to the order of things and I am constantly changing them however, I only have 2 bookshelves so it's easier to manage 📚 I can't wait for the tour

[@lisa_unabridged]

I admire your dedication. THE WORK. Impeccable. Booktube is where I got the idea to separate my TBR from my read books and I don't know how I've lived without that system

[@robynlaura2786]

Can’t wait for the official bookshelf tour! Hope it’s at least an hour 😅

[@dannieros3]

I see the Nevermoor books 💜 that’s my favourite series ever. Beautiful organization 📚✨

[@skye.elizabeth]

You mentioned Lara Croft as your bookshelf goals but your shelves are my goals 😍🥰

[@skye.elizabeth]

@Alexandra Roselyn is this a scam account?

[@pixieh.5597]

📚 I've sorted my books according to language, fiction/nonfiction, classics (publishers, like Penguin and Oxford), autobiographies, ancient greek and roman literature (a humble but beloved section), children's, christmas...well, I don't have more books than you😊

[@zephyr2266]

So happy to see you display The Gracekeepers so prominently. The cover is gorgeous and it's so whimsical.

[@stunningtoddlers4493]

It's so amazing.. I'll try to organise my bookshelf like this and I know it'll come out to be my best one... I adore your videos.. Just in love with them..

[@mckenziekate]

Loved this! I would love to see a video of you recommending books that you think EVERYONE needs to read or books you would teach if u were a teacher!

[@euniceford786]

So gorgeous!!! I organize my books by genre and keep all books by the same author together. 📚

[@DanieleaReads]

Your shelves are so beautiful 😍

[@winterrenes1249]

I love your shelves so much, I can't wait until I have my own library

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

I’m actually in the process of reorganizing my books by genre as well. I additionally am planning to try and have them separated by standalone and series. You are right about how long it actually takes to sort them out!! Your shelves look beautiful!!

[@christygilliam]

Pausing the video at the end of every shelf because you have immaculate taste! Now i need to reorganize mine 🙏😂😭📚

[@lauraa1345]

I absolutely love the outcome of your bookshelves Lexi! Especially with the decorations it looks fabulous 📚🥰😍

[@bentersbookshelf]

📚 I love your shelves! I am needing to redo my bookshelf organization so definitely taking some inspiration from yours. I would love to chat with you about tips on filming a bookshelf organization video!!

[@Samantha-SamReadsThings]

I loved this and can't wait for the detailed shelf tour 📚 I organise my shelves into read and unread books, I keep series together but beyond that it's basically just random as to where books go.

[@lydiaedwards8813]

I think they look much better now than when they were organized by color. It also is very practical the way you sorted by genre. Well done

[@kathleenbaker2791]

📚Mine are by genre and I also have a TBR section for the books to pick from next! Thanks for sharing!!!💞

[@summerdavis3437]

Your library is just *chef’s kiss*

[@CorgiInASweatshirt]

This is my favorite bookshelf organization you've done yet, they look so great!!

[@goblinqueen0141]

This is my favorite bookshelf organization you’ve done. They are stunning! 📚

[@amandahaesemeier]

📚 Your shelves turned out sooooo good! I love the vibes 🤩 My shelves are currently a hot mess, but supposedly they are alphabetical by author and based on if I have read them yet or not haha.

[@TomerArmarnik]

Thank you for the great tour, that is an impressive collection. Personally I organize my books, by genre, language, publication and author.

[@CandiBookishHobbit]

I just reorganized my book shelves a couple weeks ago and I thought it was just me but I love sitting and looking at all my books. 📚 I did mine by genre as well except for my tbr shelf.

[@ravensandblots]

This was such a soothing reorganizing video- I love the end result!! 📚 I organize mine by read and unread, then in those it is organized by genre and height, and some vibes 😊

[@emilymoorebailey4422]

I currently have my shelf with all of my favorite books and other books I've already read. My TBR shelf is organized by season. I'm a big mood reader and like to read by seasonal vibes 😊📚

[@HarleyQueen00]

So excited to see how this turns out for fall ☕🍁🍂

[@Nik-dc4ti]

I've recently separated my unread books from my read ones and that has worked wonders for me as whenever I get the impulse to order a lot of books, I look at my tbr and realise I have plenty to read😂

[@MayaraKoga]

You said it was a very long bookshelf organization video and i looked at the length of the video and was like - "that's a very short video!" ...I love spending time with you!!❤️📚

[@HesstonandTandem]

Love it! I’m totally a rainbow 🌈 book order organizer. I have a few places in my house with book and all are rainbow. Including my boys’ books.

[@Nicole-Leigh]

This is my favorite version of your bookshelves so far!! Beautiful!! 💕

[@FaeryLaume]

I'm very much a traditionalist - If you can navigate a public library, you'd find your way around my shelves. I shelf my YA and adult together, but have my Middle Grade shelved separately. I have a few special collections that have their own space, but that's pretty much it. Although the rainbow shelves are pretty, they stress me out just thinking about finding books. I love this new look, both displaying by genre, and the addition of tchotchkes without them overwhelming the books. If I had less books, I'd be tempted to rush off and organize my shelves just like this, but, alas, I'm still halfway through switching out my books with my art and tea ware shelves because my floofs are not to be trusted, so anything fragile or textile is going into the glass fronted cabinets, and the books will be moved to the open shelving. Can't wait for autumn decorating to begin. Our summer has been pretty exhausting. Rain please.

[@annawells4738]

📚 I have 0 organization going on with my books at the moment. I bought a bookshelf but have nowhere to put it because my house has no room😂 So currently all my books are in a stack beside my bed😬

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

The gold book stands are such a good idea ❤️

[@SabinesBookNook]

THEY LOOK AMAZING

[@karinaraquel5393]

The reshelving montage was suuuuper satisfying to watch!! I love the new shelves! So beautiful & so aesthetic!

[@katedowns4973]

This is my favorite organization method so far 😱 it's so beautiful! I am going to reorganize my shelves now. I love your videos! ☺️ You inspire me to read more

[@kelsielizabeth574]

I also had mine rainbow & changed mine to Age, genre and vibes! I don’t have quite as many as you, but it took a good few hours and my back was definitely feeling it! My YA shelf was 90% fantasy. 📚

[@REALTRUTH-e3k]

My head is always in the clouds 😌

[@samanthaaiello]

We are loosely organized by genre (some made up by me), and then it is decorated with things in that theme. Our witch shelf (I know that isn’t a traditional genre haha) has a decorative tarot deck and a spell charm 🧙🏼‍♀️ Our fantasy shelf has a treasure chest and a dragon picture in back 🐉 Our non-fiction/learning shelf has a globe and a telescope on the top of the shelf (that we occasionally use) 🔭 Our classics shelf has a skull (from my husband’s medical school lol) 💀 Our HP shelf (most of which is decades old now) is decorated with a dobby plushy, HP metallic bookmarks, and the time turner ⚡️ Our sci-fi shelf has home grown crystals and gold nuggets my grandma gifted to my kids 💎 We were fortunate to have items that fit with each genre. It just worked to fill a lull in sections. I totally agree about letting the books shine. We just added things in where it felt like it could use a little extra life

[@stephmariem]

Your shelves are my life's goal! I am so excited to see how you decorate for fall this year!!!

[@stunningtoddlers4493]

Will you pls make a video based on all your favourite books in each genre ...😊. I would love to watch that too.

[@nancypickard3456]

Gorgeous! I love the decor intermixed with the books!!

[@Lillyjoy]

📚 it looks great!! I organize mine by having all of my favorite ones together, all of my tbr together, and the rest by color 😊 I’m so excited for your fall videos!!

[@blueriverptha]

I’m excited for every single video of you, Lexie 🤩😍 and I adore your bookshelves so much ❤️

[@alexandraroselyn]

Aw thank you!!

[@solangelicag]

I love your book organization videos so much! I currently have my books organized by colour, which is my favourite way to do it. But I am craving a re-organizing session, espescially after this video 📚

[@MoJordanReads]

Looks amazing! Your library is stunning. I organize my books by genre!

[@stefanienordstrom6750]

I am super motivated to organize my shelves now! Looking forward to the full tour and then fall decorating! 📚

[@talenamanley1742]

Loved how you edited and put together the video while organizing 😍

[@thoranacreates]

Love your new organization! I think I may need to combine my witchy and dark academia books now because what you did looks so cool all together!

[@NikkiBurnette]

Wow!! I love how it all turned out! What a task, but it was well worth it. I think my favorite shelves are the Dark Academia and Magical Realism shelves. I feel the vibes so much! 📚📚📚

[@gabMV]

I redecorated my room recently and decided to make like little tableaux with each shelf, so I organized them by genre kind of and then decorated each theme shelf with something that I felt went with that theme… but decor that I liked and went with the overall look of my room… Idk if that makes any sense. But it was really fun and I love how when you look at each shelf, they kind of tell their own story.

[@anautisticreader2963]

You did a beautiful job organizing the shelves. 📚📚📚📚📚

[@kristinamenendez208]

📚 loved this video!!!! The shelves look so great! My books are organized by genre and I love getting different organization ideas 😊

[@Evekariana]

I organize my books by genre!! I’ve loved doing it this way since I very first started growing my collection. If I’m being honest, I wouldn’t mind a new way to do it that still fits me so I’ll be scavenging the comment section 📚📚📚

[@winonareads6790]

this lip color is probably my favorite on you!
