I love the shelf you made because it’s custom built for your home, it looks good, and it’s all you need 😊
WOW!!! The snow on the trees from 3:20 on was a majestic view with the deep blue sky - AWESOME 🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🐐🐐
Glad you enjoyed it!
You know, I think somehow you’ll be blessed for how you care for animals. I love how the littles love their milk. Western books are great. Zane Grey wrote good cowboy stories.
I too am an avid reader. Wish I had to room to keep all my books. ♥️
The snow and the hoar frost look lovely. I am just pleased someone else is having it. Well done for building your bookshelf so quickly. Enjoy your books.
I love books too! My favorite read right now is Faith Hunter. Her Jane Yellowrock , vampire hunter series is awesome! Also Soulwood series. Other good authors are Jana Deleon and Kim Harrison.
Love the new bookshelf. Your farm is beautiful in the snow. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for doing what you do, you certainly know what you're doing. Thank you for helping to feed the world.
I was going to add, I've made shelves before and you might have to add one more support per shelf once your book collection grows...But then, you already said it. Smart idea, leaving the supports movable. I might try that myself. Thanks.
A person after my own heart. A reader! That bookshelf is excellent! I love used books.
Nice video. Loved the beauty of the frost on the trees.
I love your videos. Always enjoy watching you grow your farm. I’m a big reader as well and since you are a fan of Fantasy. You should try Nora Roberts trilogy “the one” i really enjoyed it.
I look at the frost on the trees, the landscape all white with snow, and I agree with you about how beautiful it is. Then you said it was -7C, and I looked at the thermometer here +20C. Then I went outside and looked at the palm trees, picked a couple oranges from the tree in my back yard, and I thought how glad I am to live in Southern California. Sorry, Saskatchewan, not for me. Thanks for the video. Jon Van Veldthuijzen. P.S: My favorite books are true adventures, example: Kon Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl, Under the Red Sea Sun by Commander Edward Elsberg, U-505, by Admiral Daniel Gallery, or anything written by Jane Goodall.
Love the bookshelf. 🥰🥰Make some more shelf supports. you can put them in at different spots on each shelf. It will make it look Architecturally stunning. 😍Like little section nooks. People would pay you good money to make them one. ❤
Louis L’Amour 👍! I have a pretty good size collection of his books. I’ve been reading his books since the 1970’s. I have some duplicates. If you have a particular one that you’re wanting let me know and if I have it, you’re welcome to it.
Hello
My name is Robert Beside what you do and the enjoyment I get from your videos there is a very warm place in my heart for SK. My mother (born in 1909 - one of six children) was born in Windthorst SK. She had a great love of the prairie and her family. Her father (Art) and his brother Chick owned the hardware store in Windthorst. While my mom, her brothers and parents moved west to Burnaby BC, Chick maintained the store (the store is still there and family run). S0, while never have been there I still feel a sort of connection to SK. Thank you for sharing

You have quite the collection of books Neline. I think your bookshelf came out great and your sister's idea of the moveable supports is ingenious. Between your duties at the dairy, and now the addition of your own ranch, when do you find the time to read?
"It's Not Hoarding If It's Books." Got a tee shirt that says just that. I have lots of books, too; I'm guessing somewhere in the mid-hundreds. Lots of bookshelves filled with all kinds of books in most of the rooms in the house. I stack the books flat rather that store them upright to save the covers and backs from warping. I beginning to think a few more shelves are needed . . . no, I know more bookshelves are needed.
I’d give it a clear coat finish, so then it stays the bright look while looking shinier and protected
Hey Neline! Fellow book reader/collector here! Let me start by saying that I love that bookshelf. Love how it fills up the space and has plenty of shelves to add all your books! It's dreamy!!! If you don't want to stain it dark, put a clear coat on it. Here are some reading and author suggestions: Zane Gray, Larry McMurtry (the Lonesome Dove series!), Mary Austin, and Ellen Meloy. I would even suggest Edna Farber. I read a lot of different genres; historical fiction, mystery, and biographies. I got into Ian Rankin in the last five years. He's from Scotland and writes detective and crime novels. This was a surprise for me since I don't normally gravitate towards detective novels. I also love "The Three Musketeers" and that whole series from Alexandre Dumas. In the historical fiction vein, I would suggest Tracy Chevalier; "The Last Runaway" is a favorite, so is "At the Edge of the Orchard." Cheers and happy reading! :)
Nice job on that book shelf !!
I like John Grisham books
Bridging SciFi and dragons, the Dragonriders of Pern series. Then there are the classics, Don Quixote, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and my favorite the Count of Monte Cristo. For the back story on the last, The Black Count by Tom Reiss. For a penetrating look at human nature, there are the books from Graham Greene. For non-fiction which touches on Dutch history relative to the United States, The First Salute by Barbara Tuchman. An account of why the Dutch where the first nation to recognize the American nation. Reasons that still hold today. If you are interested where Star Wars came from the Foundation series by Issac Asimov and Dune by Frank Herbert.
Hi, I’m Bente. I also read warrior cats, and I’m on the 3rd book of the 2nd series. My favourite book was defenitly the Darkest Hour which was the 6th book on the 1st series.
Love your new Bookcase! 🤩 You are so talented. That will last a lifetime. ( and The Grey walls with the white trim is .... Lovely )
You did a good job. I wouldn’t stain. Nothing wrong with unfinished shelves.
Without 'staining' and changing the natural 'color' ..... Can you use anything on the wood to protect it ? A natural Oil ....?

I have always been a huge reader and book collector too and fantasy is also my favorite genre. The wheel of time series from Robert Jordan and the imager and recluce series from LE Modesitt are my favorites. I made a new bold case last year. Found some ambrosia maple at an Amish lumber store. It came out great.
Brandon Mull with his Fable Haven and Dragon Watch series', Patricia Briggs with the Alpha and Omega novels and her Mercy Thompson series are great in the fantasy genre
!
Love the book shelves. Thanks
I love reading Thrillers. I have been an avid reader for over 45 years. Yikes! 😁. Love the shelves. Thanks again
Love watching you with the calves.
I have a son that has roughly a 121-meter/400-square-bedroom. It's full if books. 😮
Like fiction and detective novels. Nice Book Cases
Several years ago our town closed our main Library for a major remodel but
left the smaller library open. Once re opened me N the missus when there to
see what they had done. We walked in the front door and....No Books. They
had digitized all printed materials and the library was filled with computer
workstations where you could do computer work or go online or download
digitized content to your device. Wow. Its a brave new computer world.
!
Yikes. No Books! No reason to go....I can go online and download content from home!
Modern humans can be so ____________________ .
I bet the People of the TOWN didn't get to Vote on that decision. (with their....Tax payers $$$)
I wonder if reading and collecting books is a dutch hobby. My oma, and nana had a huge collection of books also. Shelves and Shelves
I’m also from our beautiful country of 🇨🇦♥️Ontario though
Oh wow that bookshelf is beautiful. You should try Bryce Courtney, he is one of my favourite authors. I’m just reading the Power of One again I read it every couple of years highly recommend 💜💜🇦🇺
Almost to 20k. Keep putting out great vlogs like this and you’ll be there in no time.
I thrift books for my business!! And for my own personal collection haha. Its so worth it to look at thrift stores because you can find original covers too!! The Warriors series is sooooo hood!!
I thrift my books as well as church rummage sales prices are even cheaper.
i love watching your videos it reminds me of my childhood i haven't seen your vidros for a while
Im a huge louis Lamour fan. Think ive read every book atleast twice. Love the movies they made of his stories. Sacketts is my favorite.
I love to read Shakespeare in the orginal language, the cat who, the dog who (both of these are mysteries where a dog and cat solve the mystery), Agatha Christie, true stories. I have a lot of text books on psychology and Christian counseling. I love certain self help books.
Which couple of your self help books.... did you like best?
@l.m.4014 Courage to Heal, The Big Book,. I actually love them all. I have ones on grief because of my mom passing away from tripple cancer. The top grief book is the one Billy Graham wrote when his father passed away.
Sorry I don't remember the titles it's 1:30 am eastern standard time.
I thrift for old books and old DVDs. So much cheaper.
I am a big reader as well. I like various romance book types. My favorite author is Lynsay Sands. Her Argeneaus series is my favorite from any author. Really good books. I mostly read on my Kindle Paperwhite nowadays because of my vision issues and the fact I read the same books over and over again to the point the paperbacks get completely destroyed from over use. I have gone through 3 copies of Matilda by Roald Dahl.
Always check out that kind of used bookstore in the more low-rent towns you visit for even better prices. I find that charity bookshops tend to up-price their inventory in gentrified (upper-middle class) areas compared to more normal locations. I know it's allegedly for charity but price gouging is gouging. Also, some are profit-making businesses that only use the charity name and give them a sliver of the actual revenue.
Book suggestion. My favorite fiction series "In Death" by J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts). Strong female lieutenant (homicide), mystery, comedy, romance and sci fi all in one book. The 1st book is Naked in Death which was written in 1995, but the story takes place in the year 2028 hence the sci fi and automation. There are currently 58 books in the series. Usually 3 books per year.
Have you ever read the dragon riders of pern series. Its a bit dated now but I loved them when I was younger.
Thank you! I will check those out!
I love the Sarah J Maas fantasy worlds.
Those trees are fantastic.
Please recommend Canadian fiction, possibly classics.

The incredible dr.pole book is good.
I'm reading The Wheel of Time at the moment. I have 3 more books to get through. I also read some Stephen King books
My wife is a librarian I’ll see if she has any coming out of rotation I can send
Hope you are near by and can drop them off.... mailing them out costs a fortune, these days.
🇨🇦👍
Kom naar Bredevoort (NL) the next time your in Holland 😊
Add a couple of bottom supports
👍👍❤🐮🐐
2:00I think they think she tastes better than the milk. 😂😂😂😂
How is it with pumkin and her baby?
So how do you remember which is bucket v bottle calves??
When you’re feeding them twice a day its just like feeding your own kids
I also prefer fantasy novels, though I have not read as much lately as I did even 10 years ago. I really liked Glen Cook's fantasy mercenary series Black Company, the Malazan Book of the Fallen series (and related novels) by Steven Erikson (a Canadian), and the various books by Guy Gavriel Kay (also a Canadian). Cook is terse, Erikson is not (he can be a hard read sometimes, he also likes to start mid action), Kay is somewhere in the middle. Years back I switched to buying my books on Kindle, so as long as I have my phone they are with me (but I still have my book collection). Since you do follow Sandi Brock/Sheepishly Me you are doubtless aware of Sandi and Jess's book club.
Question? did you read dutch books as a kid?
Yep! I still do!
Have you read Anne McCaffrey and her Pern series?
I haven’t, but I have gotten quite a few people recommending that series so I will definitely order myself a copy of the first book!
Star Trek --- The Librarian.
🏇🏇🐐🐐
