I love so much that you adore older MMPB fantasy and Sci fi covers. They've got some of the best art! I love them too! 🥰
Don’t they!? Like the detail the oddness the clutter of the covers is everything!
I love those mass market editions of Terry Pratchett's books, those are the versions I read as a kid. I've slowly started collecting all the books in those editions when I find them secondhand.
Girl organizing Star Wars books in timeline order is a chore in and of itself!!! Great job on these shelves. They look so good!!
Ahaha I just chucked them on there - Chris can do the timeline later.
I was so happy to see the Terry Pratchett books 😊 I have a whole bookcase for him as I was very silly and started getting the collector's library editions whilst also keeping my original editions 😂
Oh I love the hardbacks. I’ve always resisted cause I know how dangerous it would be but Chris has four and wants to get more so looks like our collection is gonna grow aha 😂❤
@JeansThoughts I fully support Chris in this decision 😁 They're so pretty and as a bonus you can also get non Discworld books in the same editions.
They look sooooo good!!! And I love your shelving unit with all the sprayed edges!!🤩
The weird sizes! YES! 100% agreed!
Brilliant! A place for everything, and everything in its place!📚🧡
You did a great job! It looks so nice when it all comes together.
Thank you so much!!!!
I don't understand why I wasn't subscribed - been watching for years. TH-cam can be really weird sometimes. The shelves look great. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
Ahaha I’ve done that! Been recommended people’s videos enough that I assumed I’d subscribed.
I sort my books by 1. genre, 2. read/not read, 3. author/collection, and 4. size/shape. Sorting them into read and not read makes it very easy to find the next book to read. Because I am quite easily distracted and I have my bookcases in the bedroom, it's more important that the books blend in with each other than creating absolute order. A small book placed between two large ones will not do.
Nicely done Jean. Looks wonderful! Sooooo .... once you're done there how's about coming for a little visit to Canada and giving me a hand organizing and shelving my book collection in our new condo??? There's only about 2000 books to be spread around the place. It'll be fun! I'll provide the tea. Please respond soonest .... I'm a bit overwhelmed here!!!
YAY!!! She's back!
I also find myself stumbling over the alphabet when redoing my books, so I've just written it down on a small piece of card stock. Makes life a lot easier 😅
Ahahaha this is a brilliant idea - library style!
Congrats🎉
Ooooo love the bookshelves and am looking for something similar for my house as I want shallow bookcases as well! Where are they from please? 😊
They’re from Argos! They’re the Maine style which come in deep and shallow so these are the shallow ones. I love them!
@@JeansThoughts thanks so much, they’re perfect, exactly what I’ve been searching for! I’ve just ordered them now, so excited 😆
It looks amazing 😍💗
Thanks so much!
Your bookshelves are gorgeous. 📚
The height difference in books bugs me too. Why can't publishers make them the same size?
So pretty :) You did a very good job! Did you like the Walter Moers books? And have you read the last one of the mirror visitor? I would like to see everything home/organising related :)
I have only read Captain Bluebeard so far but I loved it. My dad also read it love it and then bought all the other ones and read them aha. Noooo, I need to get book four in the mirror visitor but now I'm worried it's too late to find the hardback to match.
@@JeansThoughts oh, you absolutely have to read The city of dreaming books and Rumo. Would love to hear your opinions on these :) Fingers crossef you find the hardback! :)
I was annoyed with Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series for changing the designs of the books. It got to the last three and the publishers decided to change them from the beautiful deep coloured ones to a crappy jpeg photo- type thing so that the last three don't match, but it could have been worse - as Twilight was everywhere at the time that the last three books were published, they could have gone with a design that mimicked that (and the publishers did re-issue the earlier books with those covers on them.) On the whole, though, I feel like book covers in general aren't well thought out now - hardly any of the publishers issue them with real art on them any more. I also separate hardbacks from paperbacks and try to put the hardbacks on the bottom of the bookcase since they tend to be heavier and it stops the bookcase from toppling over.
Ook!
Do you mix your read and unread books?
@@emf263 I do ☺️
Hi
Ook!
