Reorganizing my Bookshelves 2019 || Books with Emily Fox

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm coming back soon with a million wrap ups and book reviews but check out my Goodreads if you want to stay updated :) bit.ly/2vXKmtz

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Btw there's a reason for the empty shelf (video coming soon!)

[@nwreader]

Yay!🤗

[@beautywithemilie]

We both know you're gonna need to do it all over again once you get another bookshelf...

[@tamimc4694]

We all know we wanna see that happen

[@LiliOV]

👍

[@monsieurgarcon384]

OMG. Are you Emily's sister? But she never told us anything about a twin sister. :0

[@nukhbahsany9712]

watching someone playing tetris for exactly 29 minutes 51 seconds

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

For anyone motivated to watch the whole thing, there are a few fun moments hidden 😂❤️

[@beautywithemilie]

I really liked 3:16-3:24... more for the struggling than the wheeee tho

[@CarinaSchrijft]

One tip. I have the same shelves. Ikea has glass plates for in the bookshelves. I added 2 per shelf, creating two smaller shelves per bookshelf and de add on on top. I have 3,5 bookshelves now. Three big and one smaller one and it fits around 800 books :P

[@lantreauxlivres]

It was great! :D

[@emilybertin7830]

You organized your messy bookshelves into an organized mess I love it 😂 would definitely like to see when you get a fourth bookshelf though

[@jessicamota8031]

If only the video of the reorganization is 30 mins long imagine just how long it actually took to do it. Thank you for taking the time to actually record, edit and post! Definitely a lot of work.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I had about 3h of footage lol Editing wasn't too bad I just had to remove some clips of me staring at the void questioning why I decided to do this... 😂

[@jessicamota8031]

Can't believe the day to see this arrived. Goodbye messy bookshelves, was used to you will almost miss it.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Almost

[@jessicamota8031]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I do have to admit it was sort of distracting 😂❤️

[@gomiho91]

"Wee!" Using a book to grab another book that's too high - I felt that lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm not even short damn it 😂

[@dilificus]

"Realized Brent Weeks couldn't be next to N.K. Jemisin..." The most relatable thing I've ever seen in my life.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Can you imagine the disrespect?!

[@riankoch9126]

Wait why not?

[@dilificus]

Rian K You should watch the reviews of his books on the channel you're in the replies of, imo.

[@riankoch9126]

Thank you. So very helpful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jhg31]

This is the closest to a bookshelf tour and I'm ok with that because this is satisfying

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Bookshelf tours are so much work. 😂 Can you imagine having to listen to me struggling to pronounce all these titles and authors' names... I don't hate myself enough... yet!

[@jhg31]

@@BookswithEmilyFox 😂 I would feel bad for you if I had to watch a whole video of you trying to pronounce titles and authors and failing miserably

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Maybe I should let my computer pronounce all of them for me 😂

[@jhg31]

@@BookswithEmilyFox that would be a great video 😂😂

[@DebbieChristina]

I always find a bookshelf organisation way more satisfying to watch than a bookshelf tour. They turned out great if you compare it to the before.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I wanted to include a before/after but I took the pictures with my phone... which just died on me... with my latest reading vlog on it. Yesterday was a sad day.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Finally happened 😂❤️

[@Weihnachtsgans1]

Sorry but started laughing so hard when that tall book didn‘t fit your non-fiction shelf 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

All I could think was "Of course it doesn't fit" 😂

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

Well this is satisfying as fork.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's some forking ash shirt!

[@shellyg3072]

Fork yeah!

[@mellopages3560]

DUDE when that Ashton Edminster started playing, I got HIT with happiness. I absolutely LOVE her music so much!!!

[@minabergstrom938]

Why the empty shelf? Do you plan on putting something else there?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Asking the real question... ;)

[@Hale8R]

Mina Bergstrøm I thought it was for books she’s currently reading or library books!

[@natashasnarrative7801]

“Ça fit pas!” As a fellow French Canadian (from the east coast) I really appreciated that 😂

[@morganspicer41]

I felt that lol

[@DeadlyWhispers]

Same

[@kelley.s]

The music + you taking the books off the shelf is so relaxing.

[@lovelyliterary6730]

Love the music you chose! New fave artist! I'd love to see a video about some of your favorite artists and/or how to pair music with videos. Keep up the great work! I love this channel so much!

[@bookmark437]

I like the little pause you do right before you start where you look at all your shelves and kinda go "alright...". I mean its sped up but I see it and its adorable

[@zoeyl9662]

This was so satisfying to watch! The combination of horizontal and vertical stacking looks so nice, I do that with my books too. Loved the music, too. I will definitely check out more by that artist 🎶

[@juditkovacse]

A bit chaotic yes, but still very satisfying to watch finding a place for so many books.

[@mollyep]

Why is this so satisfying and mesmerizing to watch

[@nancyepark0821]

I hope the process was as satisfying for you, as it was for us to watch. The music is amazing.

[@TheEickert]

Woohoo! Saw Senlin Ascends on the shelf. I just finished the sequel arm of the sphinx last night and these are some of the most original and interesting books I've read recently. Hope you enjoy them!

[@readernac13]

Whew! That must have been exhausting! I loved watching this to see how other book lovers organize their precious books. I hope you love it when your done. Now I gotta sort through mine! Loved the music! 🎶 Hope you are feeling better❤📚🤓

[@beepboop9976]

This is the most satisfying shelf reorganisations video 🤣 also I watched this while doing school work and the music was really relaxing! I’m definitely adding it all to my study playlist!

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

these songs are absolute bops! had this on in the background while studying and was nice to look up every now and then and see that i'm not the only person struggling lmao

[@Alexisjo0707]

This was extremely satisfying to watch. Plus with your music selection, made it even better.

[@alixvnhll9805]

Ce "OUIIIII" est la chose la plus mignonne que j'ai pu entendre dans tout booktube omfg Seriously, this "OUIII" is the cutest i can't

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

No one was there to cheer me on so I had to 😂

[@kiraironskin]

This was amazing! The result looks great and dear rainbow shelf is still there ❤

[@arielreads]

this was honestly v calming and i read while you did this 😂 great music picks by the way! i love the new shelves!

[@TinyNDangerous]

I smiled when the "whee!" interrupted the music, that was cute. These videos are always so relaxing, even though when I rearrange my bookshelves I'm always so fustrated haha.

[@AKookieForYou]

They look really great tbh, your hard work definitely paid off! I especially like all those series perched on the very top, they look really nice together ^^

[@alessyagorelova2940]

Quick recovery! Lots of love❤

[@czai_]

this is really satisfying to watch. also, loved the music 💖

[@lynxlou]

This was so satisfying to watch- and not because your shelves were messy! Loved it 😍

[@amorevisser2874]

Who else found the books falling over 13:50 oddly satisfying? Just me?

[@SuperVengeLock]

I have been waiting for this video for YEARS this is the best day ever

[@AshleyZieman]

The Wiiiii with your hands up made me laugh out loud!!

[@Meesaiii]

So satisfying! I love these vids. Also, I hope you're recovering nicely

[@beccadoingstuff]

This is soo relaxing and definitely encourages me to do some organizing!

[@shmizzleshmazzle9830]

Empty shelf theories 1. Snow globe gets its own special home 2. Place for Emily to show off her Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures 3. Advertising Space because that BMW convertible with custom periwinkle paint job ain't gonna buy itself

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

1. I can't believe I forgot to put her back on the shelf 2. Sadly don't own any 3. lol I wish I don't even own a car There's a video coming on it soon!

[@LiliOV]

I need to order and make some organization in my bookshelves too, and you're inspiring me to do it, but something tells me that I'll probably say that I need another one.. because we know that it is never enough books!! btw great job!!

[@shrutichauhan9945]

I have three projects due tomorrow... Why am I still watching this

[@misttborn]

Brandon deserves his own shelf in people's libraries across the world

[@laiaal.3324]

100% agreed

[@jasminreyes15]

This playlist though!!

[@averyst.george5166]

This video inspired me to reorganize my bookshelf. So thank you very much

[@Olcia27]

Would you consider doing a No Buy Year with books? I don't even have 1/10 of your collection but I still have quite a few unread ones.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I thought about it but I don't think my spending is too crazy. Most of my books are bought used. I use my library a lot. I unhaul the ones I don't care for. I read over 100 books a year so I'm okay with it all. If I start reading 5 books a year while spending a ton of money then I would lol

[@Nataliecj]

I love these types of videos so much! So satisfying! Also loved your text inserts, funny af 😂 It's my dream to one day have enough shelves that I don't have to double stack.

[@sadiarumin]

good job Emily!! it looks so much better & i was enjoying the songs very refreshing.

[@Inmylibrary]

0:24 I see the Seven Realms series ❤ One of my favorites!

[@Rainbopagn]

If you ever do a book declutter, please film that too!!

[@dangerousateveryspeed]

might be a bizarre, niche request, but could you do some french book recommendations? i'd love younger stuff since my french reading skill still isn't perfect ! (i.e. middle grade/ YA)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I don't read french books except classics so I can't really help!

[@higgitusfiggitus9501]

My office is a mess of book piles because I decided to re-organize my bookshelves a year ago and in the process realized that there wasn't enough space for all my books. I need to follow your lead and do something about it.

[@ebeth5891]

I laughed every time a book fell because it was the most #relatable thing I have ever seen on the internet😂😂😂

[@sofiaamm]

i always see brandon sanderson's books in the back of your videos, but i dont know how much youve read of him? have you read stormlight? bc that is the masterpiece

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm keeping the best for last lol I'm planning on cracking next year since book 4 should be published. I hate waiting for the next book in a series! I've read most of the rest (Skyward, mistborn 1-4, elantris, warbreaker, legion, steelheart)

[@Bellatrixstrange09]

I’ve suffering with anxiety all day but this really helped. Very satisfying. Lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I hope your day gets better :)

[@ZarriahRose]

This is so much more satisfying than getting up and doing my cleaning like I’m supposed to 😂

[@maddog6041]

This is the level of efficiency I aspire to achieve

[@priscillareads]

Is the empty bookshelf for when you talk about videos and then put them behind you? I’m so curious!!

[@AlvaHognestad]

Watching this, I really want and really don't want to reorganize my bookshelves. Could be cool to try it by genre!

[@kb-ih7ni]

Wish i had these bookshelves but we don’t have an Ikea where I’m from =)) So I have this antique bookshelf from my grandfather, complete with glass doors. Guess I can live with that aesthetic too XD

[@misttborn]

This is my favourite video from your channel

[@starry_worlds]

This was so calming to watch. I loved the music selection. Do you mind me asking how come there's empty shelf?

[@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed]

Came for the books and you stayed for the music😂

I was keeping an eye out for a special boxed set of The Selection series but you must keep that on your nightstand. :)

@@BookswithEmilyFox I sort of love the chaos of it. I haven't done it--and this just reminded me of it--but I've always wanted to read a series backwards lol

I'm conflicted. Love how chaotic it is because it reflects mine when I try to organize it. Hate how chaotic it is and I had to skip watching the middle part because it was stressing me out. 😂😭

[@dylancandancex8555]

Anyone who doesn’t clean their shelves with their sleeve is just weird.. 😂

[@SixthSenseSynesthete]

I’m curious why hardly any booktubers organize their shelves alphabetically? Most do rainbow organization or genre organization...idk I just like the straightforwardness of doing it alphabetically and keeping all of an author’s works together

[@encyclopediaofelizabeth]

I noticed part of Glenn Cook's The Black Company. What are your thoughts on it?

[@katybyrd8674]

I've been loving your reviews and things for years and just noticed you have some of those Robin Hobb books (and your editions are 400% prettier than mine)- have you read those? She has like 20 books in different-but-connected series and I'm not sure what order to read them in. Assassin's Apprentice was great but then I saw how many books there are and panicked :D Don't listen to your Fight Club Beauty Channel alter-ego, this was super satisfying to watch! Bookshelf Tetris is my favorite!

[@LolasTBs]

Personally I really loved them! Maybe skip the Second Son series, but if you enjoyed the first book in Fitz's Series, you're bound to like the others too! ;)
