after so long, i finally had the spare time to assemble and organise my bookshelves and dare i say, i'm in love with the way they look! there's definitely more that i've got to do to take these shelves and the wider office further, but i'm so happy with how good of a start we've got here!

Honestly these shelves are really visually pleasing and the books are extremely well displayed. I really appreciate your effort filming and editing such video while you were spending hours setting up your bookshelves, thank you Joel. Also, this might be a little off topic, but I really love your fashion style, the outfits you wear in your videos are nearly always on theme with the books you're discussing. You always remind us to stay hydrated, which is such a simple yet caring thing to say. You're stunning Joel wish you all the best.

According to Jack Edwards 1000 books is considered a library. So my guess is 1150 books. I'm completely amazed by it, especially since you own so many special editions! We just don't think about all the money that went in 😂

I just use goodreads to keep a count of my books. When I scan a book (using my camera on my phone) I just add it on a shelf labeled owned & another labeled tbr if I haven’t read it yet. Then I can view them in any list way I want - genre, title, author. It’s great. When I do an unhaul then I scan again and remove from that shelf 😊 This is the 1st video I’ve watched from you - love your style.

I loved your previous on reviewing people's bookshelves. In fact, you reviewed mine.
