    Ok, so when you were live on Instagram and asked what we thought of bookshelf tours I said I never finish them bc I start getting bored and zoning out but ohhhh no, not with Lala’s tour! I love that you talked through it instead of literally just telling us titles. The magic of Lala strikes again!

    Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves czcams.com/users/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

    It just amazes me how differently everyone sorts their bookcases!!! And your methodology is very interesting....glad you spent the time to explain it so well. I may have to look into rearranging my bookcases. I’ve always just separated them into general genres (fiction, mystery, sf/fant, romance) then alpha by author within each genre.... Now I have a new Lala inspired book project to look forward to!!!

    I also used to own every book I read or wanted to read and then I moved once and I got rid of things so fast. Now it makes me happier to only have the essentials, both unread books I'm the most excited about and read books I will absolutely reread.
    I still uhaul books because I'm not perfect, but I'll set them aside and off my shelves for a month first to see if I miss them. If I don't, they're out.
    If it brings you more joy holding onto your read books, you go, but I would be overwhelmed.

    Marisha Pessl did her author event at the Barnes & Noble where I previously worked for Neverworld Wake. She was so lovely-like, gorgeous, but then also so sweet and so excited for her books 🤗

    I really liked the zoomed in style so I can see what’s on the shelf (titles) but you talk about your favorites from an author or fun facts about a book (like if it’s signed or it was a special edition you hunted down, etc).
    I think at one point you asked if we preferred the naming of the titles or authors and personally I would rather have the titles if you wanted to read them off one after the other! But it’s your channel, I’m going to watch either way! :D
    I also really like hearing about your systems and how you organize/methods.

I always keep every book I complete, unless I absolutely can't stand the book and want to get rid of it [doesnt happen often, though]. I just find it satisfying being able to see all the books I've read [I also have many of my childhood books and purchase books I read in school if not pre-owned].

    I have a small book collection, but even so how I organize them is sorta hand wavy.

It works and makes sense to me, but would probably drive other people a little bonkers, haha.

    That was fun! It fascinates me how each of us have different ways of organizing and prioritizing our books. Four of my rooms have bookshelves in them - the Library/Office, the Livingroom, the Tea Room, and my Boudoir/Reading Room. There are also books in our Bedroom (I have no idea why I'm capitalizing the room descriptions, LOL), stacks of them near my side of the bed, a half dozen near hubby's side, but no bookshelves in there because for some inexplicable reason I don't like them in that room. I won't describe how I organize per shelf because that might tip this comment from short story into novella.

    This was so enjoyable to watch. Wonderful to see you passing this love of reading down to your children. Just curious...does your husband like to read novels as well? I live in a townhouse with 4 floors of books...organized in various groupings but not by what I read (which I would like to do). I love the idea of having a bookcase wall of "read' books and TBRs elsewhere. However, I think I have more TBRs than "read" books. Many of my books are art related (instructional, coffee table size, etc) with less text. I don't read most of those from beginning to end. I'm running out of space and I don't want to get rid of any of my books nor remove the art I have hanging on my larger walls for more books! Anyway, I made some notes and hope to read some of the ones you pointed out for sure. I'm on a mystery/crime thriller mood this summer.

    Okay, usually I find bookshelf tours to be the dullest videos on booktube .... How do you manage to make even a boring topic so interesting and fun to watch?! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
