Hello, everyone, my name is Olivia and today I'm going to do my first ever
bookshelf tour. And I have never done a bookshelf tour because I didn't know
what type of structure I wanted my video to be, to be a little bit different, and
it's also just very tedious to film. But, once I finally hit 20k subscribers on
this channel-- which is a complete dream come true-- I did not expect that to
happen ever, and I didn't expect my channel to grow this much. And I'm just
so grateful for every single one of you who comments, who likes, who subscribes.
Thank you so much for joining this community, and if you have not joined
this community, yet, feel free to do so. So in celebration of 20k, I'm going to show
you every single shelf in my room. My room doesn't have like a wall of shelves.
I have shelves in multiple parts of my room, so in order to make sense of the
way that I organize my books we are not going to start off with this shelf, which
you usually see in every single video. In fact, we are going to start over with the
floating bookshelves on my wall that my tio put up for me. And yeah let's
just get started with the bookshelf tour I'm so excited to do this. So these are
my floating shelves right above my desk, and this is where my book organization
starts. The top shelf is comprised of non-fiction, classics, and some childhood
stories that I've kept over the years. I tried to order my shelves by genre and
alphabetically by authors' last names. Some sections still have that order
while others are organized based on aesthetic. Fun fact: every single book on
my shelf is one that I read. You'll actually see my TBR in the next bookshelf
Here are two of my favorite nonfictions of all time: Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson
and Bella Figura by Kamin Mohammadi.
This is a raven that I have above my collection of Edgar Allen Poe's stories.
This is a pocket Shakespeare that my parents gifted me which summarizes every
Shakespearean play because they know I love the Bard.
The next shelf is my favorite fantasy shelf full of classic YA series
This sleeping kitten figurine was given to me by mi abuela.
I actually won this Six of Crows ARC in an art giveaway!
The third shelf is a continuation of my fantasy collection.
I have a Joker Funko because I adore the Dark Knight. I know this is from the 1989
movie, but the 2008 Joker wasn't as cute as a figurine.
This is a letter opener and a platypus paperweight, all the way from Australia.
Here is a red panda figurine from the DC zoo.
And a crystal BB-8 that my parents gifted to me.
And the next shelf that I want to show you is my main bookshelf. This is the
bookshelf that is usually in the background of every single one of my
videos. The one that you see the most. It is organized in a very interesting way.
The top of this bookshelf houses some of my favorite movies, graphic novels,
and a ton of journals because I seriously have a journal problem.
Two of my favorite films are a Casablanca and Inception.
The next row has a few
sci-fi novels that I own, some mass-market paperbacks, and the beginning
of my adult romance collection.
Below that is my adult fiction section. At the beginning I have a growing
collection of translated works.
If you have any adult fiction recommendations
comment them down below because it's actually why I've been reading the most
this year.
This is a bottle of sand from my trip to Hawaii in 2012.
MY Beauty and the Beast notebook is from Disney World when I noticed it looked exactly like
the VHS case, and it even has a photo of the VHS inside. I was so jazzed to get it,
definitely one of my favorite purchases ever.
And the bee poster was kindly gifted
to me by a fellow bookish bee, Roxanne.
The next shelf is a continuation of my romance collection...
... and the start of my YA contemporary section.
Contemporary is my favorite genre to read, so I have a few shelves full of it.
On top of my books are some Polaroids, a Six of Crows card,
and my Hogwarts letter that my brother got for me.
Then we have a cute origami
for the movie "Emma," and some Diviners Tarot inspired cards.
A new favorite romance of mine is: Take a Hint Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert.
And the next shelf is the continuation of my YA contemporary collection.
And a new YA favorite is Anna K., a retelling of Anna Karenina.
Next is my historical fiction collection.
And here we have some Six of Crows dice that Leigh gave me.
And lastly are my unread books.
I explained in another video, which I will link down below, as to why their
pages are facing outwards.
My next set of bookshelves is my new bookshelf. This is
another bookshelf that I got from Ikea because I was overflowing with books and
I needed a new shelf and this fit perfectly in this corner of my room.
At the top of this shelf my Latine book collection... and some poetry books.
Clap When You Land is my absolute favorite read of the year.
And The Book of Lost Saints is an amazing Cuban read.
Then we have some thrillers and a few book series.
Security is such an underrated book that I need more people to pick up.
I got this honeycomb candle from the New York Botanical Garden.
This edition of The Starless Sea has to be the prettiest book I've ever owned.
It's the UK edition, for anyone curious.
This adorable charm was made for me by my friend, Manda.
And this book stack are the next few books that I hope to read.
The Pothos above my shelf is actually unnamed, so leave some name suggestions down below so we
can name it together, as a community.
Book crates are a great way to add more storage around your room.
So here is where I store some miscellaneous books as well as my Cassandra Clare collection.
Soon I'm going to have to find a new place to put my Cassandra Clare books
because there isn't enough room for them all.
And lastly we have a section of my room where I store books that nobody ever
really sees because it is behind my bed, and I got the storage unit when I had a
twin size bed, but now I have a bigger bed. So, we decided to put some crates
beside the bookshelf unit. So this is a bookshelf headboard so it is not only a
headboard but also a place to store your books and other trinkets. I don't
remember where I got this from, but I'm sure if you were to Google "bookshelf
headboard" you have so many options to choose from.
Here we have Poe Dameron, from Star Wars, Belle, and BB-8.
Because I adore The Shadow of the Wind so much, I have three copies of it.
A Penguin Drop Cap edition
My first copy of The Shadow of the Wind, which I
stumbled upon in my library's book sale, which is very Shadow of the Windesque, if
you've read the book...
and a used copy that I found in a bookstore.
I also have two copies of the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
Chanel Cleeton is definitely one of my favorite authors ever.
I'm so glad that I found her books.
And this is a Batarang that a friend gave to me because I adore Batman.
And that's it! That's my bookshelf tour! I hope you enjoyed watching this video.
Let me know if you see any of your favorites on my shelves and let me know what you
think of my organizational patterns and how you organize your shelves, as well.
Thank you so much, again, for 20k. This is a complete dream come true, and I am so
glad that I finally was able to film a bookshelf tour. Thank you so much for
everything, guys. I hope you have a wonderful day, and I will see you soon.
Bye!
Thank you to my brother for filming this entire video. I would not have
20,000 subscribers without his help, along the way. Thank you so much.
