When you run out of room on your bookshelves the only answers is to get more bookshelves

[@morganalisonstewart]

LOL. I just need to find some more room.. maybe I have some furniture sitting around that I don't need haha.

[@Madeliefschram]

Yesss this is life advice

[@user-zp2wh3im7u]

You should use a hair dryer to melt the glue on the back off the stickers and then peel them off because its sooooo much easier and leaves no sticky residue on the book.

[@lottehoughton648]

That’s a good tip! I dab a tiny bit of salty water on the sticker with my fingertip and let it soak through a little

[@Carinaisabelle]

Was just about to say the same. Hair dryers makes it a lot easier

[@ciarah408]

This is so weird to see you lowkey becoming part of the booktube community because I've been watching you and booktube for years now, and now you're coming together? It's awesome!

[@bethanylawrence2717]

You could try using a hair dryer or straightener to loosen the stickers. Might make them not rip off pieces of the covers.

[@EpicReads]

We are loving your co-host Buddy!

[@iiFlowerss]

Wait huh...I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. You are so natural in front of the camera, I seriously thought you had at least a couple hundred thousand. By the way, watching you laminate those book covers was SOOOO satisfying.

[@emmalindsey9065]

she has an older beauty channel too

[@iiFlowerss]

@@emmalindsey9065 OOOOOHHHHH MY GOD wow, everything makes sense now. I am dead. Thank you so much, currently binging her main channel videos LOL

[@morganalisonstewart]

LOL! Thank you though! Your comment is so nice!

[@LittleMew133]

This is her non-main channel so yes, she has had a lot of experience in front of the camera.

[@divad44]

I HIGHLY recommend buying the mylar book covers from a company called demco. You can order specific sizes and they come precut so it literally takes like 30 seconds to put them on a book. Super simple

[@blueskye2533]

There’s a product called Undu. It works on paper and when it dries doesn’t leave any residue. I got mine from Amazon

[@ma-rsproduction2201]

I love this channel and I love your king collection

[@morganalisonstewart]

Thank you! I'm happy you like!

[@katiestripe88]

Strangely hand sanitizer work really well on stickers - put a small bit over the sticker and then with a tissue rub it off gently - works super well for me! Hope it helps!

[@timberkimber2345]

You took me back to being a library aid in high school when you were covering your books! Love seeing your collection and hearing your reviews.

[@morganalisonstewart]

Thanks for watching!!

[@nancybenz6579]

Use a hair dryer on low or get a heat gun for those stickers! Works like a charm almost every time!

[@rokayaenafielmetni5232]

trick with stickers on books or even dishes grab ur hair dryer use tht on the sticker in medium to low heat and it will melt thhe glue and it will come off super easy ... it always works for me

[@webmowife]

Another way to get the stickers off is using lemon essential oil. A couple drops, let it sit for a few minutes, then it should come off.

[@xXIshantiXx]

Use 100% ethanol from the pharmacy and paper towels. Let the sticker soak up the alcohol and then gently rub the stickers with the paper towels in circles until the residue is gone.

[@morganalisonstewart]

I was thinking of trying that, so that'll be one of the other things I try! These stickers are so annoying!

[@marlenerichardson4429]

Hi Morgan, you asked about removing stickers. If the book has a clear plastic cover and the sticker is on that please try a product named ‘stick away’ but I wouldn’t use it directly on the patterned covered or it can remove the colour. Hope this helps x

[@angierivera7481]

Awesome video! I love your content. ❤️ You have such a nice Stephen King collection and I've been thinking of doing archival covers for some of my vintage books too. What I do for the stickers on my used books is I warm them up first with a blow dryer, then gently peel them off. If there's any goo left over, I used a gel hand sanitizer. It's a little thicker, not as liquid, so it doesn't just seep right into the dust-jacket/cover. I just rub it on the sticky stuff with my fingers, then immediately wipe it off with a napkin. It's worked well so far!

[@foxbearchillinbytheriver]

That’s a great tip! I have to try this

[@morganalisonstewart]

The covers are awesome! Now I can handle my books without worrying. Also, the gel sanitizer is an interesting tip!

[@angierivera7481]

@@morganalisonstewart I hope it works for you!

[@Lanafayzulla]

I use nail polish without acetone or rubbing alcohol to get rid of little stickers Or goey residue and it works great

[@tigresss_]

Buddy is so cute! I admire that you’re growing your collection and taking care of it! Your videos always inspire me and reignite the motivation 💙 !

[@morganalisonstewart]

Thank you so much!

[@roguejewels]

Put a little dawn disc 6 soap on to remove stickers but don't let it sit as it will go through paper if left too long but it gently removes sticker glue

[@sjthorn]

I love Buddy's segments lol. I also rearrange my shelves constantly, so I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in that.

[@neo-xy3fr]

you can use a hair blower and tweezers to remove stickers without damaging the book/paper

[@aishahmctell6846]

I would use Un-du. It’s an adhesive remover and does not leave a residue. I use it all the time to take price stickers off of my books. And it has a nifty scraper attached to the bottle!

[@morganalisonstewart]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to look into that!

[@wgp5150]

Definitely time for an updated King collection upload! A lot can happen in a year! Amazing content 👌🏼

[@mtwice4586]

Guns Germs and Steel is amazing. That is the book that inspired me to change my major to anthropology.

[@katerinaps99]

For the stickers to come off easily you can spray a piece of paper towel with some clear Ajax (or probably any clear window cleaner I guess) and scrub them off. It has worked for me at least.

[@morganalisonstewart]

Good idea! I'll have to try that!

[@ceraholland8605]

I am so jealous of your hardcover edition of Night Shift 😭😭

[@lpurple7093]

If you like/love them and if they are important to you, then, those books are valuable!

[@dr.squiggles909]

Hey in the future, if your having trouble removing stickers, try using a blow dryer in them.

[@krystamedved6782]

You can use Un-DU instead of goo gone. Scrapbookers use it because it is photo and paper safe. Whereas goo gone is really only for things like glass and wood.

[@allies7568]

buddy was cracking me up LMAOO

[@morganalisonstewart]

He's such a cutieeeee

[@butterfly-angel25]

Loved it especially fixing your covers

[@howlinhoney]

I’m peeling goodwill stickers off my books while I watch this hahaha and there’s really no easy way to get them off it sucks

[@Minkinator]

Use lighter fluid to remove stickers. I own a book store and have been collecting 20 years and it leaves no residues or stain marks. Soak the sticker in lighter fluid. Lighter fluid dries like vapor leaving no markings or stains.

[@ashlynrenee4603]

I always use a little nail polish remover on the stickers to remove them

[@aden.e]

your shelves are gorgeous!!! i’m so tempted to take the back of my bookshelf so my books are against the wall

[@CyanideXSecrets]

I use isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip to remove sticker residue. It still does a little damage, similar to the Goo Gone, but it's more effective, and it's not greasy.

[@soe_936]

to clear out the stickers i use nail polish remover, but i don't know how it works on book covers. i think it wouldn't damage them, but i think you should better try it first (sorry for mistakes)

[@snacisneros8891]

Try UN DU a lot of people use it for removing stickers in planners. I love your makeup and shirt combo.

[@dj02j]

I would remove the stickers before using the disinfecting wipes!

[@anastasia7966_]

I’m so happy I found your channel I love Stephen king !!!

[@TheHexedLibrary]

Trick for removing stickers and residue on papery book covers. It's a weird one. I use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for waterproof makeup. Sounds crazy but it works!

[@wilhelmenaallin]

the best way to take off stickers is to heat them with a hairdryer for 15 ish seconds so the glue melts a little and then it comes off way more smoothly in my experience- hope that helps x

[@lisanovak4801]

I would love a video on how you recover and take care of your books

[@lisanovak4801]

lol i should watch the whole video before commenting.

[@kimswhims8435]

If a hairdryer doesn't work I use tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil, really good solvents for removing grease and sticky residue. Fairly cheap in Australia, not sure if it's available elsewhere. Smells great too.

[@dbg8885]

I work in a bookstore and for removing all kind of stickers we use window cleaner.You probably have in your country something like that.We just spray a little on a sticker and put it 10,20 seconds and then we remove it.Just wipe with a cloth.😊

[@maeiscompletelyfine]

Great vid as always!!! Just wanna ask what's your lippie in this vid??? It's so beautiful it suits youuu

[@MewJonna]

this reminds me i need to reorganize my own bookshelves xD

[@kristinaanto]

when you want to,but don't have one :(

[@mrpopodopalis1056]

I use a hair dryer and a plastic Scotty peeler for my stickers then goo gone after

[@erinsmith8074]

I’ve heard that either a hairdryer or makeup remover works for removing those stubborn stickers on books

[@shari249]

i have a lot of cats fur on the bottom too. my bottom shelf are empty or just some boxes of stuff and empty space, for the furbabies....and arranging books, i dont really arranging them by genre....i arrange them by size mostly and separate them between novels or just fun reading and my reference books (ie: religious, motivational and positive quotes, etc)...and i just started reading anime too. i am also currently doing some reorganizing, so been donating some books and more books. Just another reason for me to buy more new books heheheh

[@morganalisonstewart]

I know! Eventually I'll have to free up some space by donating!

[@stevedavenport1202]

Your book shelf, your way...yes indeed 😀

[@breannaguidotti7336]

Where did you buy your bookshelves?? LOVE THEM!

[@JocastaNL]

I really want to give my books some plastic covers as well, but all I can find are adhesive ones or a fit size :(

[@Melinda_LL]

Maybe warm water on a q-tip just over the tag? Sometimes I just leave them on and tell myself they add to the character of the book. lol

[@VerityBooks]

The last thing I need to do right now is reorganize my shelves, but this makes me want to so bad!

[@bigb30000]

To help get off stickers and price tags try to use a hair dryer and slowly peel off the stickers you might have to heat up the sticker A few times

[@haunanimorton6287]

Would love to buy some!!!!!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Unfortunately, there’s not much one can do with removing stickers from those papery covers. I agree with the hairdryer idea, that does loosen the residue, but it’s still iffy especially for older stickers. Goo Gone is still my favorite thing to use on glossy cover though, or even cooking oil. Great video!

[@morganalisonstewart]

I'll have to try the hairdryer idea!

[@alexis2318]

been having a poopy day, this defineitley helps

[@morganalisonstewart]

I hope you're feeling better!

Try heating the sticker with your blow-dryer.
