"I really just wanna give up everything right now and read"
I've never heard anything more accurate.
you can do anything and still listen
Welcome to my world
this is me everyday at work 😂😂
That is the most accurate thing ever.
“I can’t wait to see the look on my therapists face when they ask me what’s been upsetting me lately.” 😂 Amazing.
Samee 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And the face haha. Gold lmaooo
Oh that made me laugh way harder than it should
Mine nodded because he could relate tho
"How do booksellers and librarians do this on a daily? Does anyone ask them if they're okay?"
No Jessie, no we're not
* sits in a corner crying while staring at all the books that shouldn't be in this one shelf *
The book will find its home❤🥴
It can find a home with me😂
We really are not okay...
*Awwww your bold text code didn't work*
@@koushikibanerjee2805 It was actually originally bolded but i didn't want it to be 😂
“All my friends are fictional”
Yeah but then they almost always die at the end of the book!
We don't talk about that.
shhhhhhhhh
They live on in our hearts.... that was cheesy, wasn't it? 😂
A part of them still lives in me
Literally in the last 3 books I've read, my favorite characters died😭😭
Things you can say about your bookshelf, but not your partner:
'dang she dusty'
omg cry laughing haha
I’m literally ded! O god
jessethereader have you ever read any Timothy Zahn Star Wars books?
I organize by color and sometimes I will be organizing and think “wow, I’ve read almost all of my red books and almost none of my yellow books. I guess I’m reading a yellow book next.”
So... you split series....?
Nikoleta Kallipoliti lol, not really. Most of the series I own are the same color. The couple I do have that are different I just cheat my way around it. So like the And I Darken series I put with the purple books. I just stack the second and third laying down with the first one on top with the cover displayed, if that makes sense. I only split one series, but the books are more companions than an actual series so in that case it doesn’t bother me.
Nikki Mirhosseyni I’d love to do that but I don’t want the series to be separated from their families ;((
shalom kids yeah. I found that most of my series stay in the same color anyway, but in the few cases where they don’t I find a way around it without ruining the theme. Just takes some creative thinking 😊 the only series I had to split up (I mean they were all very opposite bright colors) was more of companion novels rather than a typical series, so it really didn’t bother me to split them up.
My most read books are blue and so are my most unread books 😂😂😂
"I can't wait to see the look on my therapist's face when I them what's been upsetting me lately." -- WOW relatable! Laughed so hard. Great video, Jesse!
"All my friends are fictional" I felt that
ahahah ikr, at least the ones that won't betray you... because they don't really exist... fuck now I am sad.
@@nikoletak yeah that's true, and now I'm sad too :'v
"How much does it cost to have someone organize my bookshelves for me" let me sleep on your couch for a night and I'll do it for free😅 I always wanted to visit America and it's already going to be expensive enough
And then you go and realise he is a doucebag like Peter van houton
@@hayley723
*Fingers crossed.*
Hope Jesse's not like that.
Same
This makes me feel a bit weird because i actually like reorganizing my bookshelf it brings me internal happiness...
Well if you have as many books as Jesse has it can feel like a bit of a chore
I know right
Over 600 books on main shelf and minimum of 1 extra bookshelf per other room (hallway inclusive) and i love oragnising them.
Same😊
The one about rereading every book ever is so me
Me before starting to organize my bookshelf: "Oh this will be fun, I like organizing things."
Me in the middle of organizing my bookshelf: "This is no fun, I hate organizing things."
Me after finishing: "I'll never do that again"
One Week later: "I should reorganize my bookshelf again soon, that was fun!"
Love the taylor reference we are never getting back together like ever
I organize my books by genre, I like having little corners on my bookshelves of fantasy, classics etc. It feels so cozy to me and warm! It feels as though they're little gates to different worlds, according to their genre :)
That's how I do it too. With my adult only books at the top and more child appropriate ones lower down so my kids aren't tempted to pick up a song of ice and fire, Stephen King or Anne Rice.
@@icantthinkofagoodname1838 haha seems smart
Yep, and it's easier to find the perfect book when you know what you are in the mood of, just follow the right shelf! 😁
Lol, I love reorganizing my bookshelf.
I like organising in general.
And I've never meet another person who likes organising.
Oh, and I kinda have my own style of organising. Which is about how much I like the book and about the size.
And I put books by the same author together (obviosly).
Same
I love oranizing my books too and organize them in the same way as you. Sometimes I add organizing by genre too.
Me too! I think it’s so funny and satisfying
I don't love organizing, but I do love organizing by books and do them just like you said. It's the only way!
I love organizing too!
For me it always helps listening to an audiobook while organizing my bookshelf to get me on the mood and to keep me away on trying to reread every book I touch
Two Jesse videos....in one day! We've been BLESSED!!!
"How do library workers and booksellers do this? Are they okay?".
No, Jesse! No we are not. Also, I am surrounded by thousands amd thousands of books and interact with books every single day for my job, but then I get too burnt out when I come to actually read anything. I look at my TBR and weep. 😭
I just moved, and had to do this for not only my bookshelves (which took two days) but my DVD's too, which meant buying another Billy bookshelf. But man, the satisfaction when it was done...sometimes I just sit and look at my beautiful shelves
Frankly, I love organizing my bookshelf. It‘s like a holiday-treat activity I can indulge in after all my exams are over. Get myself a nice audiobook, sit down on the floor with all my lovelies and decide how they‘ll end up back on my shelf.
This video contains every thought I ever had when I FINALLY got my bookshelves and started unpacking my books. They've been in cardboard boxes for the past 2 years. The look on my mothers face when I brought them all up and started unpacking them were priceless! So were the face she made when I found out I had more doubles than I thought. O_O
Man I FELT THIS!
Working in a bookstore we have to reorganise the shelves all the time!
it's even more stressful when you in the middle of re organising and people come into the store
Also currently my home shelves are organise by colour in rainbow order
It brightens up my room so much! It was well work agonisingly figuring out how dark to light books were ☀️🌈
2 videos in one day? Jesse you're spoiling us but I'm not complaining 🤷♀️❤
I just finished reorganizing my bookshelves an hour ago. And man! My whole evening just flew away, like whoosh! 😅 I prefer organising according to the genres and sometimes authors.
I have a TBR shelf. I put the books on the Order as I bought them.
The other bookshelf is ordered by genre and author 😉
Thank u for that video! I laughed so hard! Your facial expressions are so accurate for the Situation 😂
"Reorganizing my books makes me want to reread every book there is" same! 😂
Things I like about this video:
•its so dam relatable
•his bookshelf reorganization is inspiring me to do the same
•the part with Taylor Swift reference ❤️
•fictional friends
❤️❤️❤️💞
My organization strategy right now is "oooh there's a free space, let's put the book there for now" because I relate to most of the thoughts you mention in the video and put off reorganizing the bookshelves...
My book collection is quite small right now but I absolutely love seeing big book cases!!! They give me joy.. I believe in u Jesse!!!
Only you could make me love watching a person rearrange their bookshelves! Hang in there Jesse
All our friends are fictional
- the truest quote for book nerds
I’m a library leader which means that I have to re-stack bookshelves everyday all day and to answer your question it’s because we know longer sane we are crazy. But on the good side we have super strong arm muscles from carrying books everywhere.
Yes another video!
*YES*
Plz never get rid of the Divergent series!!❤😂😬
Great video
"Organise Yourselfio~" Had me cracking LOL
this whole video was super relatable even though I love reorganizing my books. I organize mine by separating the hardcover and the paperback because one of my bookshelves can't fit hardcovers. For the paperback bookshelf its: manga on the top shelf, alphabetical order by author, by release date, then dictionaries and more manga on bottom shelf. For the hardcover shelf, started off as whatever looks nice and now it's just whatever fits.
This is so relatable! I swear I’ve had everyone of these thoughts while organizing my bookshelves. Great video!
I would honestly love to just stare at and browse Jesse's collection like I would at a bookstore, honestly. Such an impressive collection!!
As someone who’s job is literally to shelve and organize books in the library (my county has this thing called “student shelvers” where high school or college students get paid to shelve books, and that is all we do) it can actually be really peaceful. That moment where my section is perfectly organized and straightened is the best. Then all your hard work is destroyed in less than a minute. I promise, while it can get boring on a really slow day, there are enough books coming in to where we’re constantly working. The real challenge for most of us is resisting the urge to read the recently shelved books. That, and your own bookshelves have to be so very neat and edged it’s honestly ridiculous.
I love when you make these kind of videos!! They always make me smile and laugh and i keep starting the video over and over and rewatch parts of it... because it is SO relatable!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! these make me laugh and they never dissapoint 😂😚
BRILLIANT!! I was laughing out loud and related to every thought and question. Happy me is having to start the same process this week! 😭😭
Hah. Jokes on you, I don’t even have a bookshelf. I put them all in my bedside table. I sort them by read and haven’t read yet. So the ones I haven’t read are on the top to hopefully get me to read them, and the ones I have read sit at the bottom. And collect dust. .... I don’t have that many books. But I’m really going to need a book shelf soon. I’m starting to pile them on the dresser.
I usually organize my books like how the library does it, in alphabetical order by author last name. It makes it easier to find stuff, to put new books where they go, and best of all-all the series are together!
I reorganized my books yesterday!! By color. So satisfying
I organize by making some classifications of my own. Like - all books of my favorte author comes first. Then comes other alltime favorite books and series. Then my new favorites. One shelf is dedicated to different language other than mine. Two shelves consists of all of my childhood/ adolescents favorites. One shelf has exclusive collection copies, and many more classifications. Each shelf is again organized by author and series. Each shelf can remind me of some specific period of my life. 😊
I tell my daughter..."If you organize my shelves for me I'll buy you a video game".....it works..lol
The questions that we always ask ourselves before and during the process and then question why after xD
I find it fun to reorganize my books but doesn't mean it stops me from questioning myself with how am i going to do it and how i can make them all fit if I run out of room.
I tend to do so by keeping authors together but orginise by favorite series. The ones i like more and have read, tend to be where i can see them and then the others get distrubuted around depening on how much they interest me. I never split up the series, i feel like that would just be a chore and a half trying to locate the next book if it is hidden somewhere else on the shelf, or another shelf depending on how many you have.
Sometimes i try to add in genre but that doesn't always work out well xD
But love your videos Jesse!! ^_^ makes my day!
I just reorganized my bookshelves by "Priority" on my TBR because I realized as I was reorganizing them that I hadn't read MOST of the books on my shelves.
I find it so refreshing and relaxing to organize bookshelves...
I don’t have a specific organization method, but I tend to group books according to when in my reading life I read them. Like favorites during certain time periods, YA hyped fantasy or sci-fi that I enjoyed, books that aren’t as well known but I like and usually got from library book fairs (usually historical fiction and fantasy), fairy tale retellings, etc. And sometimes if a new book comes it works its way in to wherever it just fits and feels natural. And then there’s a pile with no organization but there’s no room left on my shelves.
*Tip that usually works unless you have an oversized book, push your books forward so they're flush with the shelf, then they don't stick out when they're different sizes
I worked as a Page at the library so my job was pretty much just shelving and reorganizing. On rare occasions I got to check the books in and out (mostly in so I could shelve them). The worst is the children's section because it's always in disarray and there's so many different shaped books! It hurts when you have multiple books protruding from the shelf at different intervals because they just don't fit. There's still times when I'm at stores or libraries and start reorganizing or pushing the books flush to the shelves without realizing it. Other times a shelf is such a mess that I can't help but try to put it back together.
Whenever I reorganize, I look up that one video by Booksandlala where she shows 7 ways to organize bookshelves.
this video is too relatable 😅 When I reorganise my shelves I have the bad habit to start at night and than it takes me two days to do it (and most of the time there is like 4 days in between those two days were my books are awkwardly stacked on the shelves and floor 😂)
Big Mood. Last time I reorganised, I had to do it twice because I hated the first set. AND THEN I thought that it would be a good idea to move the shelves themselves- took me an hour to move them, and two seconds to decide that I hated it so I moved them back...I just need another bookshelf in general, there is no space and no amount of rearranging is going to change that.
One of my friends likes to reorganize her bookshelves almost every two weeks, I don't know how she still copes with the stress of books all over the place and finding a new way to organize them
This felt like an oldschool Jenna Marbles video, like 'what girls do in the bathroom' or something along those lines. This was great
I organized based on aesthetic. Like, I have to like how it looks, so it’s less about being organized, and more about making me happy. Like, I’ll have a shelf full of books, then the best shelf with be partially full with a giant vintage camera, the next shelf, all pictures and trinkets, the next, more books. And it goes on. Haha!
A good tip someone told me is to put your paperbacks at the top and all of your heaviest books on the bottom. That way if the shelf ever falls, you're getting hit in the head with Paper Towns, and not the Order of the Phoenix, if you catch my drift! ;D
This is an entire mood.
I got a second shelf from a friend last week and I agonized for like 2 hours about how to split them up or if I should sort them by hardback vs paperback, series vs standalone, or by author. I finally settled on author last names because ocd is awful and I couldnt split them any other way. Now I have A-J on one shelf and K-Z on the other.
First of all...I felt this video & I live for your relatable content.
I currently have by books organized by color (except my series because why do they make books different colors? it ruins the aesthetic) and my TBR shelf is it’s own shelf, also organized by color across (luckily I only have one shelf for those at the moment) 😅 good luck!
Watching you struggle to put the rest of the series on the shelf was me with every Cassandra Clare book I own 😂 “THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT SIZES! ITS NOT FAIR!” *groans of agony* “FIT DANG IT FIT!!”
I do my standalone books by color (because pretty). Then I keep all of my series together and I like to spice the shelves up by decorating with my merch related to the series. My nonfiction are on a separate shelf sorted by topic.
Love your videos Jessie they always make me smile 😁. I actually arrange my books by series length (from most to least) and then have a specific shelf for Stand Alones
Several years ago, I took a Records Management course for my undergraduate degree. Since then, I have organized my books by author and book title. I also organized my CD collection by artist and title.
I'm surprised I haven't organized my essential oil collection alphabetically!!
I work in a library and luckily shelving is only a part of my day. But space is usually the biggest issue for the adult library. Mess is usually the biggest problem for the juniors. I organise my own books by genre (then author grouped however sort of fits) for fiction and by subject for non-fiction. I tend to store books I have already read in places like under my bed and in the attic so I have mostly unread books on my shelves to remind me to read them.
I organize my bookshelfes by genre, by place of setting, setting time and by the year of publishing. When I have all the books by an author I put all near on the same shelf. I also have many editions of my favorite books.
I might be the weird one but I love reorganizing my bookshelves. I do it when I'm stressing, when i'm bored, when I get a new book, or when it is 2 am and I can't sleep. It is calming to me.
I organize mine but authors last night and if it paperback v hardback. I also have 2 dedicated shelves to PJO and Mysteries like Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Sherlock Holmes.
I actually kind of like reorganizing my bookshelves, the result is SO worth it every time. Recently I started organising by genre, and I got to say I really like it thus far.
My books definitely need to be reorganized. I used to do it based on my favorites. Top and bottom are my least favs and the reachable ones are my absolute favorites! And then I’ll just organize each shelf based on their colors... I need a new system 🤦🏻♀️
I missed these videos of yours! 🧡🧡🧡 Your videos about thoughts (in a bookstore etc.) made me like your channel. I arrange my books by size then author. 📙😊
Can I just point out the fact that my family wondered if I needed a trip to the doctor immediately when me, myself and I refused to stop laughing?
Haha I loved this!
I organise my bookshelves by age range (Children's to YA to Adult), within that I organise by genre and within that I organise by series and author surname! Sometimes I think it'd look really nice to organise by colour but I don't think I could split up series like that 😱😂
I organize and this is all at the same time, by genre, author, series and my favorites. Plus I double up the rows (my bookshelves are not necessarily aesthetically pleasing, but all my books fit) and I organize all my books right to left.
I don’t have enough books to go by color or genre so I either go by thickness, height, how wide there are, alphabetical by author (like now) or alphabetical by the title, but probably the most satisfying one is by height. Tho I last reorganized them because they were dusty and I’m on a reading slump and they were crying to get cleaned up so fell to my book’s cry and helped them, and thought that spending my pocket money in more books will tempt me to read again.... but it isn’t working. I DONT HAVE TIME TO READ, SCHOOL IS KILLING ME ! literally I cry every week with my therapist because of this.
I organise my books by genre and by height but i never split up my series!btw loved this video i laughed so hard ❤️
1:57 as a library worker I can confirm the fact that I am not okay
I am pretty good friends with a Librarian and she says all the time that there are just not enough hours sometimes in the day to get everything done. We are a small town too. I was trying to pack up my books and it drove me crazy. I am not looking forward to unpacking them. I already know I am going to need about three bookcases. I had books stashed all around the house and on two shelves and on the top of a bookcase. Every time I thought I had them all packed up, I would find another stash somewhere.
I feel this....so much right now lol! I am in the midst of my own nervous breakdown... I mean "book organization project" and man... 😩📚
I wish I had enough books and space to have this problem. Compared to my life, this seems like the best "problem" to ever have.
"Does anybody ask them if they're okay?" OMGGMREKKE
I organize by color. It’s so satisfying ☺️

Jesse: FlIp It LiKe A pApErBaCk, FlOp It LiKe A pApErBaCk
I love your facial expressions in this!
I completly loved this video!
Please do more of this,because they're funny and entertaining.
I organize by how much I like the book, the worst are on the bottom weirdest on top and the best in the head level so I always see them
I'm crying with laughter Jessie 😂 I'm so opposite though, I LOVE organising and re-organising my shelves! It makes me so happy lol. I would totally come and organise your shelf for free. Maybe I'm in the wrong business... Lucy's book organising business 😂😎📚
That was pretty funny cause I'm reorganizing my bookshelves for a week now. Luckily I'm almost finnished. 😂 and I had some of the thoughts you mentioned 😂
Thank you for reading! Have a good day!
“jokes on you, all my friends are fictional”
i FELT THAT 🤚🏻
As someone working at a small library, I feel your pain of re-organizing books.
"I wouldn't screw up the book series order if they had numbers on the back"
Just _two_ days I realized that I had the Mortal Instruments series in the wrong order for the past _years_
I always organise by author A-Z, and I always open the last/most recent book in a series, write down the order or I Google the order and then organise that way. I get very very in to reorganising shelves. I'll do it for free, give me music and leave me to it. I love reorganising books. I annoy librarians/book stores because I will not hesitate to correct a series on a shelf if it is in the wrong order 😂
Did I just watch 4 minutes of Jesse whining about reorganizing books cause... IM LOVING IT
1:46 his face is a mood
This is my favorite video by Jesse
I have thought every single of these things at least once. Great video! 📚😂
I'm reorganizing my bookshelf so I'm completely identify!! Finally a video with all I thought ❤
I volunteer at my school library and tbh I love shelving books. On the other hand I literally sweat when I'm covering hardcovers because it always looks awful.
I organise mine by size. The tallest ones to the left and shortest to the right. If it's series then I organise them in order, but based from thickest series or most books in a series to least. And if I'm reading a book and put it back on the shelf I set it at the right side/end of series so that I know which book I was reading.
If it's library books, though, I organise by what I want to read most being on top, because those I lay flat on a shelf so that I remember I don't own them. (Because I have a lot of withdrawn books that I bought from the library and so the aesthetic in my house is mostly library tape and barcodes covers. Which is fine because I love it, and 50c to $5 for a book as opposed to $11.99 to $30 sounds good to me!)
I reorganized my books last week. I only have one bookcase in my room - not much space but eventually I will own more when I move out. I organize with the top few shelves being my favourite. The top is the Shadowhunters, which no longer fit all in one shelf and I have Ghosts of the Shadow Market (Brother Zachariah!) Sitting on top of the other books.
With the illustrated history, colouring book, then the 10th anniversary C.o.B on the way and second copy of Clockwork Angel (so it can match the other two illustrated spines). I dont know how itll fit. Then theres the 10th Ann clockwork Angel and Chain of Gold. It is not fitting on one shelf and it is extremely bugging me
