#TheShelfieHop, or a Vlog Tour of my Bookshelves

Yay! Today's the The Shelfie Hop! Kristen at My Friends Are Fiction and Crystal at Bookiemoji got the great idea to do a blogosphere-wide hop where we all show off our beeyooteeful bookshelves on the same day. One of my main life projects over the last year or so has been to get my shelves in TIP TOP SHAPE, and I just very recently put the finishing touches on, so this hop couldn't have fallen at a better time. I'm so happy to FINALLY give that shelf tour I've been meaning to give for ages, ever since I dismantled my Stacks o'Doom and finally got myself some real like grown up shelves

(For newcomers, I used to store all my books in huuuuge stacks against the wall four feet high because I didn't have any shelves. Yes, it was a huge pain. No, I do not miss them.)

Without further ado: MY SHELFIE TOUR!



My fancy video camera was out of battery, and I was lazy, so I used the slightly less fancy camera. Also my filming technique leaves something to be desired. BUT LOOK AT THE PRETTY BOOKS AND LISTEN TO THE UPBEAT MUSIC YAY

And now, some close up pictures to further show off the preciouses!

Long view of my mantelpiece decorations:

(that Fire-Breathing Bitch Queen print in the middle is from Judith at Paperiot's Society6 shop GO CHECK IT OUT)

Mantle closeups (and YES those are ARCs of The Hunger Games and Catching Fire! I found them at a secondhand shop like five or so years ago, having no idea what ARCs were or how rare these were. WHO KNEW):

(Also how much do Hipster Belle and Hipster Ariel look like they're talking shit about you)

My YA books! To see the full glorious scope of my gigantic YA shelves (one of which I made with MY OWN BARE HANDS, yes I did, it took me two hours and I zero percent recommend it), watch the video above, because I forgot to take a picture of the shelves at a distance. Whoops.)

ALSO: those tabby tape things are my new way of noting which books I own that I haven't read but very much SHOULD or WANT TO. Instead of buying new books willy-nilly, I'm going to make a conscious effort to conquer my owned unread. Every time I do, I get to remove a tab. REWARDING MYSELF.

 

One day I'll do a post specifically focused on all the HP books I have, because this is only a paltry few

STIEFVATER SHRINE

MY BEAUTEOUS DESK

Part of my adult fiction shelf (which is notably smaller than my YA/MG section)

VHS shelf and cookbooks!

Some of my non-fiction books!

If you want to see even more pics of my books, like closeups of my special editions and stuff, I'm on Instagram so YAY that's a thing you can do)

(Also, if you're curious about what my Stacks o'Doom looked like, you can get an idea of them in this older vlog)
