- BOOKSHELF TOUR - At Long Last!
Welcome to my very long awaited Bookshelf tour. I have been talking about doing a bookshelf tour for about two years and finally was told it was time to do it. I hope you enjoy this bookshelf tour, it features a lot of science-fiction, fantasy and Stephen King.

I don't want to hear anyone calling me out that I never did the shelf tour now hahaha
@@AndySmithMN 😂😂😂
The end of GoT could never end any other way. cerci says it in the first season. When you play the game of thrones, you either win or die. I loved the ending.
Anyhow, amazing collection!!!
I think he might be a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, not sure though....... Dude btw, when you read Berserk just seeing Miura`s progress as a visual artist is such a treat. A total master of black and white, shading and character design. It's like getting a masterpiece in every page.
I'm LOVING Berserk so far
This is an AWESOME collection of books. Glad to finally see your collection, man. Also, I WILL FINISH Wheel of Time, too, no matter how long it takes! xD
I can't get enough of looking at your Folio Society edition for A Song of Ice and Fire. Btw, I didn't know you played Enderal!! I haven't played the game, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Dreams of the Dying! :)
You even have Sun Eater series! I've been searching for Empire of Silence US hardcover for quite a while, and I can't find it. Either way, I look forward to reading it! And that Berserk collection.....
Dude Enderal is awesome!!! Your definitely love playing through it. Thanks my friend!
I have shelf envy! Thanks for the look through, and because Discworld is a series I adore so much, I'm going to recommend the Discworld Library Collection editions - small hardcovers - they're beautiful, the covers all have the same style, they're the same size, and the binding is loose enough to comfortably read them.
Happy New Year Jimmy
Thanks for that!! Happy new year 🎊
Greatest bookshelf tour I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Amazing collection!
Thank you so much 😎
That's a pretty awesome collection Jimmy! All the little figurines are so cute. Of course you can guess what my favourite section of the bookself is 🤩😀
I have a good hunch 🤔
Thank you!
FINALLY! Enjoyed this so much, and I'm now very jealous of the collection
Haha thanks my dude! IT figs for life
I knew you had an awesome book collection but it was awesome getting to see all your various collectibles as well!
I appreciate the books you added to it, thanks my friend!
Loved the video and immediately bought the Hobb merch. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Great Collection Jimmy! I need to get myself some of those Sanderson leatherbounds they look so good
They're incredible, thanks mate!
Wow,this is a gorgeous collection 😍,congratulations,thanks for sharing it with us.Yes please,I would like to see the swords of Westeros.😁
I'll have to show them soon
I would like to see your sword collection⚔️ This was a great video Jimmy, awesome collection! Super interesting you didn’t particularly care for Senlin Ascends, I was planning on reading the books of Babel soon once I finish WoT. Allen has hyped them up enough and it sounds like a different series than your typical European classical fantasy and a good change of pace
Swords soon!
Yeah Senlin is gonna be great for a lot of people. I wouldn't worry about my take on it as I am in the unpopular opinion on it
Fantastic shelf tour my friend but you can't convince me that you're a fan of ASOIAF. This is a very elaborate ruse.
I've been found out 😩
Like ur bookshelf tour! I hope u had a nice Christmas?? Happy reading to you!! 🎬🎥📖☃️❄️
Had a great Xmas, hope yours was as well!
This was amazing! Loved it Jimmy
The deed is done!!
I had a similar experience as you did with wheel of time. The books in the middle are a bit weak but in my seocnd try I just read them all back to back toughing my way trough some of the middle books and it was great and very rewarding in the end.
This was really cool Jimmy. So many great books, and many I have read or want to read. There are a few that were personal duds for me. I hope you read the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series. It’s seriously amazing! I would love to see your swords in another video.
Ive heard nothing but good things! Thanks friend 😃
Enjoyed the book tour JB! 🤗 That 3D Westeros map is amazing 🔥
KEISHA! I did a double take when I saw this comment haha, thank you so much ☺️
@@thefantasynuttwork you're so welcome!!! 😁
That’s an awesome collection. I recently went to a half price books and lucked into the first 6 Malazan in hardcover in presten condition. Just found book 7. Those will be my babies if I can find the last 3 in hard cover.
Yoooo that's some excellent luck!!
I can't wait to get a couple more bookcases so I can so display shelvessss!!! Yours are awesome!
PAUL RUDD 🤣
I didn't care for The Poppy War all that much when I read it, and then I almost decided to pick up the second book because everybody loved it... and then the third book came out & I've heard almost nothing but disappointment. lol. So I'm good with having stopped at the first book, for sure.
Yeah the first book was so rough IMO, though I liked the ending. Two was better and I can see why so many people disliked 3. It's interesting to see how varied the reactions have become! I'm very curious to see how her new stuff will land with me once it's out.
Omg I already know your display shelves will be awesome. Time to get a couple more shelves 👀
Jealous of everything. Thanks for doing this for us! Happy to see Circe up there next to Song of Achilles!!
As for U.S. or U.K. Age of Madness, I would probably tip the scale in the U.K. favor. The U.K. hardcovers are the only "nice" books on my entire shelf. The color scheme is so nice.
The color scheme is great!
This was so much fun! There are some gorgeous UK hardcover editions for Discworld. I don’t own any and can’t comment on quality, but they look beautiful.
The Hobb UK trades look gorgeous lined up and I hope beyond hope that they’ll continue the rest of the series in those illustrated editions.
Hope you’re having a fantastic holiday ☺️
Sarah thank you! I would pay a pretty penny for all of RotE in that illustrated format
@@thefantasynuttwork Also really glad you showed the LOTR figurines. My dad has been wanting some for his LOTR shelf, and I went right to that website and found a bunch!
@@TheBookCure they're so good!!!
Oh my days I have been trying to find those daughter of the empire editions for ages! Such good covers. The US covers are good too, but just love those UK mass markets
I totally agree! I tried getting hardcover US ones but they were all in such poor condition. Would love to see a reprint
Gem of a video for beginners dwelling further into the fantasy genre. Hope you'll make content like best reads by year. :)
Thanks!
Awesome collection and very well done video of a library tour.
Thank you 😊
@@thefantasynuttwork Happy New Year!!!
Awesome tour! I stopped at book five as well on WoT. I have a few collections like that - where I bought the whole thing on good authority that I’d like them and now I have some pretty paperweights lol.
I see so many I also have on my list to read soon. We Ride the Storm and Jade War at the top of it.
I’m thrilled to learn about the Alien book by Lindholm. Favorite author + aliens. I’m totally sold and I’d never seen it before.
Oooooomgsh that empire trilogy is amazing. I’m envious of those editions. It’s a favorite!
Thanks! At least they look pretty right? Haha
Very nice collection, and fun to see a lot of books I’ve never heard of. My TBR hates you lol
Hahaha I'm sorry 😛
Beautiful collection! 😍
Excited to hear what you think of A Master of Djinn! I would recommend picking up the novellas in that world first as they introduce some of the characters. It was one of my favorite books/worlds from 2021!
I picked up the ebooks of the novellas, excited!
@@thefantasynuttwork awesome! can’t wait to hear your thoughts :)
@@MaedBetweenthePages thank you 😁
Amazing collection. Definitely going to check out Adrienne Dillard, those books sound amazing to me. Also will check out that Kate Elliot series as I’ve heard really good things about her books
That's awesome! Adrienne is so talented, the books are great 😀
Absolutely glorious mate
Thanks brother 😀
Hey I'm a new subscriber, LML made me aware of your channel!
I'm enjoying your book reviews! Thankyou.
Oh that's so awesome, thanks for checking out my channel. LmL is awesome and I've been massively inspired by him. I hope you enjoy the channel as you go through, welcome 😁
You know the exact moment i SCREAMED 😍😍😍😍
If I remember right, in the summer time I think Leigh Bardugo put out an update saying she is working on the sequel to ninth house… so it might be coming faster than you think cuz she’s a pretty fast writer 😀
Oh that's so exciting! I legit love Ninth House
Just a thought on “aray’s blade.” I would take a picture of it, send an email to them again, and also say that if you don’t hear back from them within a week, you will contact the Better Business Bureau. And, if they don’t follow up, then contact the BBB (if they are an American based company.). Yes, it’s not something that anyone really wants to do, but my guess is that sword was not cheap.
It was very very disappointing
Nice collection of great books😁
Thanks mom lol
A Master of Djinn is a fantasy set in Cairo if Djinn and their magic were introduced to the world rather than anything the Egyptians did technologically. There's also a prequel short story (A Dead Djinn in Cairo) and a novella (The Haunting of Tram Car 015) which is a nice dip into the world and see if it's something you'll like.
Very excited for it
I promised myself I wouldn't get jealous in 2022...well I guess that's out the window 😂. Really though that's a phenomenal collection
Haha, thanks!!
Wohoooooooo bring it !!!!
Lots of ASOIAF!
Those folio a song of ice and fire are gorgeous. Super jealous
They’re my favs!
Great collection! I do want to see the swords, lol.
One day!
I'd love to see the rest, specially Arya's Needle!
I'll have to do another video!
Also I really like digital and audio books for the ease of pronunciation and access to definitions where in the past the encyclopedia and dictionary as long as syllabus understanding with my cheat sheet. Collecting is great especially illustrated editions but let’s not thing digital isn’t great in its own right.
I’d even argue that ebook is objectively better tbh lol I just am a doofus and like my physical books lol
Haha the fabled book tour. Awesome
Now you all have to quit bullying me 😂
I promise nothing 😂 those colours on your poppy war books are so weird mine are all white. Plus over here jade legacy is out in paperback already never seen any of them in hardcover 🤷♀️
And if you don’t like winnowing flame I’d be genuinely sad haha no pressure
@@stuart1346 oh damn, maybe I'll get legacy from across the pond then
I really like the copy of the stand 📖
And you're realm of the elderlings books
It's so cool!
The UK covers of First Law and Standalone trilogy. But the US covers of the Age of Madness trilogy is just Sublime 💚
I tend to agree
Omg “go check out the library of Allenxandria if you want more SJM content” 💀💀💀 I’m dead lololol
Your shelves are amazing!!
Hahahah Allen loves SJM 🤣😜
Thank you so much, they're my prized possessions haha 😃
Nice collection, Jimmy.
Thanks mate
Great collection you got there, Jimmy!
I haven't seen any Warhammer 40K books on your shelves. Have you heard it? Apparently there are a lot of great sci-fi books with deep lore, great characters and an incredible futuristic/gothic looking world. If a dark, war filled universe filled with alien races, space gods, an emperium lead by a psychic human demi god and far advanced technology appeals to you... this could be something for you.
I'm interested in starting the Eisenhorn trilogy by Dan Abnett after watching some reviews from fellow booktubers. I've heard it should be a good starting point.
Would you be intersted in reading anything 40K next year?
Thank you for all the great content you've put up this year. I've enjoyed all of it. Have a great end of the year.
Hey thanks! I am definitely interested in 40k but not sure when I'll be able to dive in, but certainly eventually!
10/10 bookshelf. Immaculate.
Thanks my friend ☺️
Beautiful shelves! I prefer the UK editions of the First Law books, but both are really nice. I got Game of Thrones in the Folio Society edition for Christmas! Now I need to have them all 😂 They look so awesome together.
I read the Poppy War this year and I liked it. Funny enough I liked the first book most of all (but I'm a sucker for a coming of age/training story). The second and third book had amazing moments, but also some plotlines that I didn't care for and could have been removed in my opinion. I do like how she chose to end the entire series. Love authors who do something different.
I loved the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne and think you will like it as well! Very interesting (imperfect) characters with amazing worldbuilding and lore.
Stavely is one of my most anticipated reads for me thus year
Bro I'm pretty sure that you have the same Hobbit as my dad. That book has the best smell of any book I have ever smelled.
Give that book a sniff for me and tell me what you think
I’ve sniffed it, truly glorious
I love your asoiaf collection. I need to film mine and tag you in it. I think you’ll love the look of my Portuguese special editions 😄
Yes please do!
love the malazan and asoiaf collection
Thank you 🤘
Dreams do come true!!!
Changing the world one tour at a time 😉
I added a frustrating amount of books to my TBR lol
Haha mission accomplished 😂
Oh my god I can’t believe you got that edition of alien earth!!!!
I went for it 😂 I'm so excited to try it
Hahahahaha can’t wait for Allen to watch this!!!
He's gonna be so happy with me
I never seen those wlc covers, but omg you must do wlc 2022
It's happening!
I can't believe you haven't read The Name Of The Wind. Kvothe ranks right up there with Fitzchivalry, as a young man who makes a lot of mistakes. I totally enjoyed the tour.
Thank you! And yeah I've left some big titles off my read list just so I have stuff to look forward to 😅
The only way I really would collect books is from publishers Centipede, Folio Society, Cemetery Dance, Subterranean, and some older ones like Phantasia especially their Neuromancer. Also older books that are worth money. As well as a spinner rack with old 70s and 80s horror and sci-fi paperbacks. I know this is the tip of the iceberg and one needs plenty of disposable income but book collecting can be an very worthy investment
Yeah for sure
I know what you mean about Jade City it was not a homerun for me but the trilogy (especially Jade Legacy) was amazing!
I'm hoping I enjoy them!
I'm always happy to see The name of the wind on shelves although, they are missing Scott Lynch and Michael J. Sullivan.
I'll have to get them 👀
@@thefantasynuttwork 😊
I had to push toll the hounds back till January I'm still reading rythm of war
I absolutely loved the poppy war it's one of my favorite books of 2020 I did enjoy the dragon Republic but the burning god was so bad
I started toll the hounds today
Like the set up. Love library tours. I am currently building a writing shed that will have a library in it. Videos of my progress are on my channel.
Fantastic!
Oh my gosh Neil Gaiman is my favorite author he is auto buy every time and you will enjoy Neverwhere American Gods is awesome too
I am stoked for more Gaiman!
The best Discworld editions are the Unseen Library hb editions.
Okay great, thank you
Obviously we want to see the sword collection!! I would be pissed about the engraving of Arya’s Dagger.
I was throwing a fit haha
That Hobb section tho 😲
I love it
“Paul Rudd is basically on the cover of Assassin’s Apprentice.” Oh god, that made me laugh.
How are you enjoying Malazan overall so far? I’m finishing Fool’s Fate soon and thinking about giving it another try. Those mass-market paperbacks look very vulnerable, though👀
I’m glad you’re enjoying 11/22/63. Either that or Revival is my favorite King novel. And both of them have amazing endings, imo.
Also, I’m incredibly jealous of your dagger.
The Dagger is pretty neat! Haha thank you
I am Loving Malazan honestly. There's nothing quite like it and the writing gets better and better as the series goes. I'm on book 8!
@@thefantasynuttwork Hmmm....Toll...
If you haven't learned by now, don't start the last few hundred pages late at night.
@@EricMcLuen yep, I learned my lesson 🤣
I bought most of the WoT books, some in Hardcover (thankfully on the cheap) disliked Shadow Rising and Fires of Heaven enough to get rid of all of 'em lol
Maybe I will one day lol
This video is cool but when will you be doing your bookshelf tour jimmy?
LMAO 🤣
Great video! Has Allen seen an uptick in Sarah J Mass followers?
I sure hope so 😂😂😂
to read mass paperbacks are way better than hardbacks (specially if the book are 1 kilo or more. Try grabbing one of the brandon sanderson novels in your hands. In no time I Bet most people would have to put the book down. BUT in terms of visuals yeah I agree, hardback are nicer. Good collection :)
Thank you!
Just got the illustrated robin Hobbs but just been looking and released the last is not the same publisher.... Sucks because I can't find del Rey published version in the country I live. Glad to have the books tho
You mentioned that Jen Williams’ The Winnowing Flame trilogy wasn’t available in the United States. I got mine just a couple of months ago from Amazon.
Must just be outta stock now or a third party vendor
@@thefantasynuttwork I forgot to say thanks for the bookshelf tour. It was appreciated.
@@thomassears1432 my pleasure!
Let us know when you do ninth rain , i want to buddy read that trilogy.
Okay I will!
Im an advocate for UK First Law so i will disappoint you but i still prefer UK editions of Age Of Madness, although US publisher did step its game up for that trilogy. But for the older first law book UK are just glorious to me especially with the shiny stuff on the front covers.
I may have just got the subterranean press version of A Little Hatred 👀
Roger Zelazny is amazing! One of the most original authors out there.
I've heard predominantly good things about both Elliott and Wurts (you should maybe look up J. V. Jones too, Sword of Shadows is very similar to asoiaf from what I hear!)
I like Feist well enough, very nostalgic about him. Introduced me to fantasy and all that.
You should definitely proceed with Bakker! AE is insane.
If you happen to like Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, try out Ian McGilchrist.
Poppy War is trash.
The Dresden and Discworld book sizes are a crime against literature, though I hate Dresden.
Rotfuss is fine, I enjoy his prose more than anything.
Epic Tad collection.
There's no Acts of Caine 😔
There's no K. J. Parker 😔
Acts of Caine one day!
I will also finish "The Wheel of Time"...eventually. 🥴🥴🥴
I hope you enjoy jade city I really enjoyed the girl with the dragon tattoo series but stig Larsson books are way better to me I absolutely love Outlander by diana gabaldon and the series along with the tv show
Awesome!
Honestly so far I'm liking the sequel trilogy more than the original Red Rising trilogy, currently on Dark Age 🤘
Oh good to hear
You must read the name of the wind!!!
I will for sure 🤘
I have the same disease as you, buying full series before ever trying them out 🤦♂️
It's truly a problem 😅
Have you read, Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever, by Donaldson? First 3 books are really good, the last 3, not so much.
I started the first one yes
@@thefantasynuttwork Foul is almost painful to read before he actually goes to the Land. But yes, you do have to be in the mood for it
Nice collection. I wasn't the biggest fan of Storm of Swords illustrated edition either, but I chalked it up to more the art style being so different. But it does fit more the medieval feel of ASOIAF, so I don't hate it; and ink style art doesn't get the love it deserves anymore.
I could agree with that, I just wanted MORE art
I love the old game of thrones covers with the stellar paintings smh the the graphics of the new copys just don't hit the same fr
@@michau540 I love the OGs so much
32:54 bruv where can I buy this?
My friend painted it for me 😅
GAT as one book looks almost painful if not impossible to read.
Hahaha
I hated the Poppy War, read all three books bc I thought the series had to improve with how much people hype it up. It did not. The Poppy War gave me trust issues for booktube recommendations.
hahah I mean different strokes for different folks
Show us your sword.......that sounded bad
😂😂😂😂
I detest paperback
No i do not sub to bobby b best king!!!
Old king jahaerys was !!! Fight me
:(
@@thefantasynuttwork no trial by combat then?
@@mrsduncanthetall no! Haha
@@thefantasynuttwork 🤣🤣🤣. ...you made it out this time
always love to see Robbin Hobb / Megan Lindholm! (My username used to be muamjad, hope you remember me!)
Yep I remember! Good to see ya 😊
@@thefantasynuttwork are your RotE UK editions paperback or hardcover? And how did you make sure they all were the same size so they lined up so perfectly? I'm looking to buy them all at once
@@Phoenixon7 I bought all UK editions, they're matching and feel great
