Bro....I've found so many new books I want to read and I've gone from 60 on my tbr to like 176 and you DARE to have a good taste in books and make that number even higher? I'm stressed
"But at least YOU'RE not dead so... road trip!" IM-- 💀😂 I love how your content always puts me in a good mood. Downside? I end up with MORE books on my already endless TBR buuut you're right, YA has so many amazing, diverse reads coming out that I'm not even mad about it 💖 Also, I may or may not get that trolley because 👀 Ikea should sponsor you, then you can make this a series because while I don't like assembling furniture, watching some else do so is oddly therapeutic? 🤔
feeling blessed you introduced me to a new king arthur book I haven't heard of omg adding to my TBR now. BBC Merlin is one of my favorite shows of all time
just wanted to say that i’m literally in love with your channel 🥺. i was scrolling through my youtube feed and i saw your newbie booktube tag, watched it, and *immediately* followed. you have such an amazing, warm personality and are so accepting that i honestly couldn’t resist. your the first booktuber i’ve ever subscribed to, and binging your videos is what got me back into reading. i’m guessing it’s because of what your studying in college, but you’re so educated on books too and it’s different from other channels i watched in an incredibly good way. so thank you for getting me back into reading
ok so your jewelry game is A+, you're wearing the COOLEST printed shirt, and you're playing with power tools you're literally living my aesthetic DREAM right now
oh my, i was looking at your description for the books you mentioned but what caught my eye instead was the link to the junk terror bill because im from the philippines and i dont think ive seen any youtuber so far who has shed light upon the topic. thank you so so much joel youre an angel 💞
I've assembled two things from Ikea in the last week and I really like assembling them too! I feel like it's so rare to find people that enjoy it as well
I watched this right after I woke up and tbh this was the most relaxing half hour I've ever spent waking up. Your vibes Mister? Immaculate. You could put your (monthly) tbr in the top basket and whenever you finish one move it to the lower basket? Idk if you plan on doing monthly wrap ups but that way you'd also have those books handy dandy sorted!
I'm a sucker for Ikea and books, this video was just what I needed as I set up my BuJo for the week, such a calming voice, could listen to you talk about books all day!
It was so fun watching this video. I literally was just sitting there organising my next few weeks' TBRs! Yes, I do weekly TBRs during the summer because I finally have time to read to my miserable heart's content! You got me interested in so many of the books you were talking about too!
I'm the same way about building IKEA furniture, it's so relaxing but I have no clue why. I also have one of those trolleys but for art supplies instead of books, I want one for books too. The trolleys are adorable.
joel: it's quite a nice size to be hoenst joel editing: that's what she said me: giggles joel: it definitely looks like it would fit a lot of things in it joel editing: that's what he said me: *SNORTS*
"at least you're not dead...... ROAD TRIP" 😂😂 omg. Also you are tempting me to buy that trolley. I've been wanting one forever and like you, I also love putting furniture together 😁😂
I am literally petrified of reading A Torch Against The Night because book one wrecked me and I know more pain is to come. But it must happen soon before the last one comes out, going to reread book one and just devour them all. It shall destroy our souls Joel (also love the cart!!)
I have one of those carts! I’m thinking of putting my the books I know I’m going to read next on the top shelf, my library books on the middle shelf, but I’m not sure what to do with the bottom shelf yet :)
Very good idea it's like a vlog with content that would not be in a vlog? And btw I totally get you assembling ikea furniture is like assembling the toys in kinder eggs and I find it quite therapeutic
You mentioned so many good books, but also some I hadn't heard of yet! Also I get the therapeutic feeling when building Ikea furniture, except when I had to build my Wardrobe in the August heat last year. I wanted to chuck it out the window haha.
Just wanted to say hi! I found your channel when I was looking for some inspiration for my booktube newbie tag and I really love your vibe. Looking forward to more great content from you.
this video just got me so excited for these upcoming stories! my bank account is already fearing the amount of money i am going to spend on new arrivals. 😂 ( also thank you for posting a link to petitions & donations to veto the junk terror bill. sending love from the philippines! )
I can't wait for the City of Brass vlog!!! I finished all of them last month, and was smitten. Thank you for all of the anticipated books, I've added so many to my list :)
i have the poppy war in paperback too!! and i just got the dragon republic in paperback too but i’m SO close to buying them in hardcover especially cause i want them all to be hardcover so i can buy the burning god in the fall and have them all match haha. also i still need to finish an ember in the ashes! i read the first one soo long ago and never finished!
It would really be amazing if you could upload on Tuesdays and Fridays. So far I have watched all your videos and let me just say that your voice is so calming and relaxing and watching your videos have been the highlight of my week.
Really like this concept (not just because I also have an IKEA storage unit/side table in my reading corner), it’s a bit like a laidback hangout. Anyway… Oh my goodness, Cemetery Boys. Loved the whole bit about Blazewrath Games (‘Quidditch who?’) and I saw cw on Twitter talking about These Violent Delights. I’ll try to remember these for later in the year. Oh! And I’m excited about a Daevavlog (wow, corny). So envious you won’t have to endure the interminable wait between books.
My most anticipated read for October is Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. I am hoping that the release will not be delayed again. Queen’s Thief is one of my all time favorite series and as much as I dread the series coming to an end do I also look forward to the new schemes and tricks of my favorite characters.
We just did alphabetical after a disastrous experiement. While not the most aesthetic, it's so satisfying to know exactly where to look on the shelves for the book you've got in mind! Bethany
I just finished the first book in the Poppy War and AHHHH. Please do a reading vlog or review of the series when you binge it, trust me it’ll be very entertaining 😘
Love your thumbnail and this video was fantastic, I’m so excited for Cemetery Boys, and you should check out Cursed by Thomas Wheeler & The Guinevere Deception for some Arthurian retellings.
Petition for a bookshelf tour when all the books are back
i’d love that for a yt vid i’d def watch 👀
PLEASE
"give me merthur" and that's how you spot someone who used to watch Merlin
LMAO TRUE
I shipped those two so hard
Melissa Teodola same😂🙃
When he said I really liked building ikea furniture and it’s therapeutic I felt that in a spiritual level.
me too!! i love it! the instructions are the best 😂 the little man with the phone attached to an ikea shop is the vibeeee
the sHirt. the earring. the good vibes are HEREEEE.
i really love how you said "dragon sports" and let the audience process it that was a king move
we love to see it
How you can do ANYTHING while putting together something from IKEA...we are IMPRESSED!
Joel: "Paperback, hardcover - I don't judge."
me: *hides behind ebook reader*
i don’t judge them either!! however you read, it’s okay
the merthur outburst made me stan even harder than i did before
Bro....I've found so many new books I want to read and I've gone from 60 on my tbr to like 176 and you DARE to have a good taste in books and make that number even higher? I'm stressed
LOL IM SORRY!! (but also not sorry)
I love building ikea furniture and my family thinks I’m so weird cause they all get so frustrated with the furniture 😭
Omg literally same, they all come to me when they need ikea furniture built
I’m so hAppy to know other ppl also loved Merlin BBC!! Truly Merthur rights 😤
WE NEED TO BE HEARD
"But at least YOU'RE not dead so... road trip!" IM-- 💀😂
I love how your content always puts me in a good mood. Downside?

Eee thank you so much and YES! I'm hoping I'll be able to read it soon!
We love a guy who uses whilst properly
I feel like such an American every time you say trolley
An Ember in the Ashes is so good! I'm massively behind on the series and only read the first book a couple months ago but I loved it!!
just wanted to say that i’m literally in love with your channel 🥺. i was scrolling through my youtube feed and i saw your newbie booktube tag, watched it, and *immediately* followed. you have such an amazing, warm personality and are so accepting that i honestly couldn’t resist. your the first booktuber i’ve ever subscribed to, and binging your videos is what got me back into reading. i’m guessing it’s because of what your studying in college, but you’re so educated on books too and it’s different from other channels i watched in an incredibly good way. so thank you for getting me back into reading
thank you so much for this! your words are so lovely and i appreciate them so much -- also, definitely going to do a room tour once it's done!!
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT SO MUCH!!!
thank you!!!
This is really random, but I love your shirt.
ok so your jewelry game is A+, you're wearing the COOLEST printed shirt, and you're playing with power tools you're literally living my aesthetic DREAM right now
in love with ur shirt my little bi heart is so happy
Love love love hearing you talk about all of these, and so glad to know I'm not the only one who finds putting ikea furniture together oddly soothing
Had a rough day, but listening to you helped me get my mind off things.
Thank you.
Also I love your shirt 🔥
I totally agree with furniture building being therapeutic! It’s very relaxing
oh my, i was looking at your description for the books you mentioned but what caught my eye instead was the link to the junk terror bill because im from the philippines and i dont think ive seen any youtuber so far who has shed light upon the topic. thank you so so much joel youre an angel 💞
of course!! it's an important matter that needs to be addressed in our current global climate and i need to do everything i can to help
also!! i hope you're staying safe and that you're well
Where do you hear about all of these books? I've just added like 10 books to my TBR because of this video 😅
ahaha i follow a lot of bloggers on twitter and bloggers are the powerhouse of the book world
I've assembled two things from Ikea in the last week and I really like assembling them too! I feel like it's so rare to find people that enjoy it as well
I’m the same! I love building furniture! So therapeutic and I feel so accomplished when I finish it too
there is nothing i love more in this world than assembling ikea furniture. i literally don't know why but i fricking love it so much
it's honestly so much fun
would love to see a chatty bookshelf organising video like this, such a fun casual format for a video 📚✨
I also love putting together ikea furniture... it's just so satisfying!
man this is EXACTLY what I needed after finishing TAZ: Balance for the second time thanks dude :’)
Ahhh! Glad I could help because I know exactly how you feel
So however you organize your bookshelves, make sure you organize at least twice because organizing is fun.
I watched this right after I woke up and tbh this was the most relaxing half hour I've ever spent waking up. Your vibes Mister? Immaculate.
You could put your (monthly) tbr in the top basket and whenever you finish one move it to the lower basket? Idk if you plan on doing monthly wrap ups but that way you'd also have those books handy dandy sorted!
I'm a sucker for Ikea and books, this video was just what I needed as I set up my BuJo for the week, such a calming voice, could listen to you talk about books all day!
your vibe is so infectious and uplifting!!! you just make me smile and we have so much in common so just thank u for cheering me up 🌈✨❤️

Alejandro Asher I love your profile pic 😍
@@jay-ts8ux thank you sghkslglasgsha
The pain of being Swedish and hearing everyone mispronounce everything for your whole life 😂
i'm so sorry 😭😭
Det skadar min själ varje gång
@@samuelm2989 hahah samma här
that made me laugh! Ikea should put the pronunciation on their labels 👍 like for ALEX drawers it would say ALEX (ah-lex)
I also love putting stuff together. I was in a bad mood the other day and got to assemble a desk, it helped a lot. :)
"at least you're not dead...... ROAD TRIP" 😂😂 omg.
Also you are tempting me to buy that trolley. I've been wanting one forever and like you, I also love putting furniture together 😁😂
Legendborn just looks amazing! I've already requested Cemetery Boys from the library, so I can't wait to read it!
I am literally petrified of reading A Torch Against The Night because book one wrecked me and I know more pain is to come. But it must happen soon before the last one comes out, going to reread book one and just devour them all. It shall destroy our souls Joel (also love the cart!!)
You’ve got this Ruby! ATATN was emotional but I also loved it so much
Gotta love a booktuber who puts the book titles and links in the description 👌
Joel building things is my new favourite type of video
Ohh I loved Criers War so much. I cant wait for the next one! Probably my fave 2019 book.
they ALL sound amazing!! i hate building ikea forniture but i'm glad you have a good time with it
I love your videos so much, your energy is unmatched and now I kind of want a book trolley
ahaha i’m not saying you should get one... but if you want one 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I have one of those carts! I’m thinking of putting my the books I know I’m going to read next on the top shelf, my library books on the middle shelf, but I’m not sure what to do with the bottom shelf yet :)
Can you please do a bookshelf tour?? So excited to see what kind of books you like to read!!
Very good idea it's like a vlog with content that would not be in a vlog? And btw I totally get you assembling ikea furniture is like assembling the toys in kinder eggs and I find it quite therapeutic
YES! I totally agree with you!
You mentioned so many good books, but also some I hadn't heard of yet! Also I get the therapeutic feeling when building Ikea furniture, except when I had to build my Wardrobe in the August heat last year. I wanted to chuck it out the window haha.
the way that the book these violent delights matches your outfit on this video i screamed
Oh I need to start reading the amber in the ashes series 🤭 and I’ve heard so many recommendations of the poppy war so I need to get this books too....
“It slid in”
That’s what she said
or he, let's not forget bottoms exist 😂
probably the most iconic part of the video 20:41
this is the first video of yours that i've watched and i love how chill u are and this video is!!!!!
Just wanted to say hi! I found your channel when I was looking for some inspiration for my booktube newbie tag and I really love your vibe. Looking forward to more great content from you.
Clicked the video bc your style was on point, stayed and subscribed for your lovely personality and book recommendations! ✨
discovered your channel a couple weeks ago... loving it

I really enjoyed this "anticipated assembly" video. 😁
I found it... oddly relaxing.😌

So looking forward to your weekend reading vlog!
It would really be amazing if you could upload on Tuesdays and Fridays. So far I have watched all your videos and let me just say that your voice is so calming and relaxing and watching your videos have been the highlight of my week.
I’m not the only person that thinks building ikea furniture is calming!!!! My family looked at me like I was weird when I built my bookshelf😭😭😭😭
I don't even read that much tbh but I love watching you get excited about books ☺️
All these covers look soo good. I added some of them to my tbr. When you were working on the wheels i was so scared for you haha
I added so many of these books to my tbr! They all sound so good!!😍
the way white cishets are practically nonexistent in this video... we love it 😎😎
i didn’t even notice until now akdkskdkc the power
Really like this concept (not just because I also have an IKEA storage unit/side table in my reading corner), it’s a bit like a laidback hangout. Anyway…
Oh my goodness, Cemetery Boys. Loved the whole bit about Blazewrath Games (‘Quidditch who?’) and I saw cw on Twitter talking about These Violent Delights. I’ll try to remember these for later in the year.
Oh! And I’m excited about a Daevavlog (wow, corny). So envious you won’t have to endure the interminable wait between books.
omg Daevavlog, that's actually iconic. i might use that
I love how u talk abt books and edit ur videos
You posted a video on my birthday, what a lovely gift ❤️

Merthur was my shit! All these books seem amazing - some of them are already on my wishlist/tbr haha
This video was so relaxing!
Eee I’m so glad! And Merthur is AMAZING
Literally your outfits in every video make me so happy😂
Your videos are so calming I love it
After watching this video my TBR list as grown. Thanks!
Thank you for the unique content! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this hard watching a booktube video 😭
I just got a shelf like that at target! I've made it my tbr shelf😁
Lol you have an energetic personality 😂😂 love your energy on camera. Definitely need to do a bookshelf tour
ahaha it’s definitely going to happen sooner or later!
"we don't stan quidditch anymore. we stan blazewrath games." yes, i love this. i'm gonna read blazewrath~ this sounds amazing.
Merlin and Arthur were IN LOVE and absolutely NOBODY can convince me otherwise !! Give me Merthur or give me death😂
I’ll be buying an Ikea trolley today! Now I’m even more excited about having one!
twinning!! just went to ikea today and got some shelves and a cart haha (and i've been catching up on your vids while building them lol)
My most anticipated read for October is Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. I am hoping that the release will not be delayed again. Queen’s Thief is one of my all time favorite series and as much as I dread the series coming to an end do I also look forward to the new schemes and tricks of my favorite characters.

Ok I came for the books and they look amazing but the only thing sticking out to me rn is that you have taste and ship merthur because yesssssss
We just did alphabetical after a disastrous experiement. While not the most aesthetic, it's so satisfying to know exactly where to look on the shelves for the book you've got in mind!

I just finished the first book in the Poppy War and AHHHH. Please do a reading vlog or review of the series when you binge it, trust me it’ll be very entertaining 😘
Love your thumbnail and this video was fantastic, I’m so excited for Cemetery Boys, and you should check out Cursed by Thomas Wheeler & The Guinevere Deception for some Arthurian retellings.
So excited about the Puertorrican charcater, we don’t get represented often in YA novels unless its about the diaspora in the US.
I also have a trolley in purple. I got it back in June and it's still in it's box lol
Your videos are so amazing. I love them so much, they are so entertaining, funny and bring me so much joy. 💕
I just stumbled across your channel and I think you might be my new favorite booktuber! I can’t wait to binge the rest of your vids!
eee thank you so much!
