I got this idea from Kivox' channel - more specifically their TBR videos: • August 2019 N.E.W.T.S.... Find me on: Twitter: @HeleneJeppesen Goodreads: / helene-jeppesen Instagram: helenejeppesen
A new video from you is always a treat. I know making CZcams videos for all those years you've seen it all so you probably look at it so much different than when you started, and it sounds like the magic's gone for you, which makes me sad, but I want you to be happy, even if it means only one video every six months or even never, I'm willing to make that sacrifice for your happiness. I don't make videos for CZcams because I never could but I love watching my favorite people, and I appreciate all the hard work you put into making all 18,000 of us happy.
It's a great idea but only if someone else would wrap it for me. I'm afraid I would remember most of the books by their size, wheight and what wrapping paper I chose.
Oh my godddd!!!! That’s such an exciting way to pick a new book!!!! I gasped when the white cabinet opened to reveal the wrapped books!!!! This is genius!!!!
So fun. Your wrap can indicate seasons also. Icecream on wrap equals a summer read. Some books are just seasonal. I love having your videos back. Your such a joy to watch. Blessings Michelle
So happy that you're making videos again! I think I've followed your channel right from the start (back when my username was 'ReadingWithJack'). You're always really thoughtful and genuine with what you say. Can't wait to hear more from you in the coming weeks/months! :)
seeing this second recent video from you and Zeus really put a big smile on my face! So glad you are back, don't care what your videos are about - books, snacks, whatever....I love them all. And what a great idea for a next read! I may try this if I ever get my TBR pile down to a manageable level, right now I probably have over a 100 books in it.
That's cute that you have a secret compartment for books you may want to read next. I always like the idea of people wrapping their books, but i'm terrible at wrapping and would waste the paper. I do live with my parents, but they wouldn't want to take the time to help me, so though I like the idea, I'll probably never do it.
Loved seeing a new video from you! Love this idea and glad that it works for you. It must be like Christmas or a birthday every time you open one up 😄💜
What an adorable idea!! If I ever get my physical unread TBR to that size I'd definitely consider it. Sometimes just looking at them all is overwhelming. Lol
Monika Marsollek Hi, Helene, hahaha- surprise for yourself! I’ve a box, where I’ve stapled all my birthday and Christmas books and without looking I grab into it...suddenly I felt a press to read all the books I’ve got to let people know how I found the books...but that’s not the meaning of reading for me. It’s one of my greatest joys and I love to be surprised. Maybe I’ll steal your idea, too...so, let’s celebrate the last wonderful summerdays with book presents, tea (or coffee😉)and cookies and a good book. Greetings from my outdoor hammock, Monika
I love the idea of wrapped book presents. What a creative idea, Helene. So glad you're back. I really love your cozy videos. I just discovered another really hygge channel- Mimmi Johnson. I think you'd like her. :)
What a cool idea to choose gift-wrapped books! I did something like that once: I reached, without looking, into a box of unread books and I then read the book I pulled out. Just now I'm reading a biography from 1935 called "Hetty Green--The Witch of Wall Street" about America's first female business tycoon. She had phenomenal wealth in real estate and railroads and even loaned money to the City of New York but lived like a poor person. To think of all the books Hetty could have purchased...(sigh.)
That is such a neat idea :D. I think I'm going to try it out. I've been having a hard time sitting down to read lately, but this sounds like it could be fun.
This is such a fun idea! I kinda want to do this too. I tend to forget what books I own, so it would probably be a total surprise when I'd pick a book like this haha!
What a fun idea. If i had a TBR that small, i also would do that. But of right now, i would have to wrap up half of my books... And i own almost 700 books... 😊
It sounds like a cute nice idea but honestly , I would remember which book is in which wrapping paper and the shape and etc so it wouldn't be as fun and surprising to me. Maybe if i could get someone else to wrap them but i'm not sure
Hi, it's very nice to see and hear you and Zeus again. 👋 I love the book wrapping idea. Did you get rid of all your bookshelves of books? I've seriously thought about giving away all but the most desired on my reading list.
TeresaNC1 Yes, I got rid of two (out of four) bookshelves and most of the books on them. I’ve held on to unread books I still want to read and some favourites of mine I want to keep 🙂
@@helenejeppesen2133 That is so inspiring to me! I'm thinking more of doing this. I think it would make me feel lighter and less overwhelmed sometimes.
Cute idea! Do you plan to keep and re-use the paper once you unwrap the book? Just asking because all the paper you used is so pretty and your wrapping skills are immaculate. So it would make it easy to re-use the paper instead to throw it away.... I have close to 300 books to read and keep on bringing more and more from the library 😂
A wonderful idea. How about your subcribers just send you a random book every month and you decide which package to open to read. If you like the book you can have chocolate or some treat. If not then no chocolate for a week. It is always great to see your happy face.. Time you came to England for a book haul. Blackwells in Oxford. The Norrington room might just make you stop and go wow.
I tryed it last year because i saw a local charity shop did a "blind date" with books and i was like "yeeessss" But i opened one and was like nope so i opened another and nope etc till was 4 books in to inwrappings.... no self disapline😔
"Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel." music to my ears.
I LOVE when she says that 😍😍😍😍😍
@@lameshahale2990 yes!!
I have only two things to say: a) what a fun way to “choose” what to read next and b) you live in a great apartment!
I love you're making videos again. Short, sporadic, we don't care. Take care of yourself, but I love your videos :)
A new video from you is always a treat. I know making CZcams videos for all those years you've seen it all so you probably look at it so much different than when you started, and it sounds like the magic's gone for you, which makes me sad, but I want you to be happy, even if it means only one video every six months or even never, I'm willing to make that sacrifice for your happiness. I don't make videos for CZcams because I never could but I love watching my favorite people, and I appreciate all the hard work you put into making all 18,000 of us happy.
I love the way Zeus turned his back on the ball you threw him , soooo cat- like : ) : ) : )
Nice. Just like receiving a gift every time you start a read. And what a beautiful creature your cat is!
Great idea! I love unwrapping presents and you get the surprise of what your next read is. And Zeus is still adorable.
It's a great idea but only if someone else would wrap it for me. I'm afraid I would remember most of the books by their size, wheight and what wrapping paper I chose.
Maybe wrapping them all in the same paper would help a bit?
Oh my godddd!!!! That’s such an exciting way to pick a new book!!!! I gasped when the white cabinet opened to reveal the wrapped books!!!! This is genius!!!!
I wasn't ready for another video! 😍
Such a cool idea to pick your next reads, feels like getting a Birthday present 😁🎊
What a fun way to choose your next book! And you get a present each time you start a new one 😊
Glad to see you and Zeus are doing well!
So fun. Your wrap can indicate seasons also. Icecream on wrap equals a summer read. Some books are just seasonal. I love having your videos back. Your such a joy to watch. Blessings Michelle
If it works for you then it is never silly. Also, it’s not silly at all. It’s great.
Hi Simon! 🙋♀️ Thanks!
So happy that you're making videos again! I think I've followed your channel right from the start (back when my username was 'ReadingWithJack'). You're always really thoughtful and genuine with what you say. Can't wait to hear more from you in the coming weeks/months! :)
Tomes And Travel I remember you, Jack! 😃 Thank you so much for sticking with me all this time 😉
Cool idea! Bookish surprises AND bonus Zeus footage.... lovely to see a video from you ( both ) : ) that light thru the windows tho…..
I've missed your videos and Zeus so much! I'm happy you're back and LOVE the new way you are picking books 🐱 📚 ☕️
I love the book wrapping idea OH MY GOSH
It's good to have you back in my subscription feed again!
What a Cute idea!!!!! So FUN!!! And Zeus is looking Great!!!!! We have missed you!!! 🤗

I've seen so many people do this but it just wouldn't be for me, I'm too much of a mood reader. Glad to see it's working for you.
Thanks for the post. I always enjoy it so much when you share what you are up to.
And "Hello Zeus!"
So glad to see you and Zeus ! I liked the wrapping of the to be read books! Thankyou Helene
How wonderful it is to see you and Zeus again. Thank you and I love your fun way of picking a book. I might try that this autumn or winter.
That's cute that you have a secret compartment for books you may want to read next. I always like the idea of people wrapping their books, but i'm terrible at wrapping and would waste the paper. I do live with my parents, but they wouldn't want to take the time to help me, so though I like the idea, I'll probably never do it.
So glad you are back. I love your videos , they are always so enjoyable to watch and your review videos always causes my TBR list to increase. 😁
Great to see you back!
This is such a cute idea!! I’m glad that you are back, I’ve missed your videos!! 💜

Girl! I am going to do this to my books tomorrow!

Love the wrapping papers you choose
Zeus is so cute
So glad you're back! 😀
Welcome back Helene we’ve really missed you ♥️♥️
Happy to see you making videos again, Helene!
And for a second I thought you were gonna have Zeus pick your next book. :)
😂😂😂 That could so easily have been the case!!
That is such a neat idea :D. I think I'm going to try it out. I've been having a hard time sitting down to read lately, but this sounds like it could be fun.
I do miss you two!
Such a cute idear 😊
That’s so much fun!
Welcome back!!
Such a cool idea! :)
I always love your videos 💗
This is such a fun idea! I kinda want to do this too. I tend to forget what books I own, so it would probably be a total surprise when I'd pick a book like this haha!
This is super cute!
So great to see you ! :)
What a fun idea. If i had a TBR that small, i also would do that. But of right now, i would have to wrap up half of my books... And i own almost 700 books... 😊
What a fun idea. Thanks for sharing.
Also, forgot to add, love your cat!!
Welcome back!
Missed you and Zeus I was so happy to see this video. Take care and hope to see you soon
oh I love that idea :D I've seen it floating around - if I wasn't such a mood reader I'd totally do it too :D
I’m a mood reader as well, so this is something I’ve had to get used, too. So far, it works 🙂
Thats so cool
It sounds like a cute nice idea but honestly , I would remember which book is in which wrapping paper and the shape and etc so it wouldn't be as fun and surprising to me. Maybe if i could get someone else to wrap them but i'm not sure
you're amazing 😳
Welcome back.....miss U
I missed Zeus
I love these tbr unwrapping. Sylvia over at wishfulfillment has a whole playlist with her unwrapping videos for anyone interested
Sutch a fun, cute idea :)

kinoko510 That’s actually a good idea! I might do that, only I would hate having to store all that used paper for years and years... 🥴
Please tell me you're back for good, I miss your reading vlog sooooooo much😭😭😭
A wonderful idea. How about your subcribers just send you a random book every month and you decide which package to open to read. If you like the book you can have chocolate or some treat.

star dust I agree! It certainly wows me ; )

I MISSED YOU

But i opened one and was like nope so i opened another and nope etc till was 4 books in to inwrappings.... no self disapline😔
jenny Haha I guess that’s the consequence of being a moody reader. Although I am one myself, I’ve stuck with this system so far 🙂
Hej fra Danmark, nærmere sagt Fyn 😉
