I feel this so much.

I lived with a housemate that I met while I was in uni and we lived together throughout our studies. We decided that it was best to just combine our bookcases in what we affectionately dubbed the 'book room', which was this room in an old Victorian that had these gorgeous floor to ceiling windows that showed the entire downtown and waterfront. However, my friend/housemate was an English major who fell in love with English medieval/early renaissance literature and her shelves reflected that while my shelves just had whatever I was interested in at the time. We shared a passion for classic literature and housemate and I would always go out to the secondhand bookshops to get all the books we wanted. It's how I figured out that if you are a student of literature, that it's best hitting up the secondhand bookshops. Usually students couldn't bring back what they had to study so they'd bring them to the secondhand shops and get more books. We would have kept our books separate if we had the space in our rooms, but is often the case in old Victorians, you get huge common areas but small bedrooms with these horrid sloping walls/ceilings. Our bedrooms had enough space for a desk and maybe a small little bookcase for our textbooks and a bed and dresser. So putting our books in a shared space was the best option for us. This is an apartment in Emmie's case, so having her books on full display in the living room is the next best option. Hopefully, her roommate loves to read, too. That would be the best roommate, in my opinion. It's so rare to find one with shared interests!

True but also I would be elated if my roommate had a library that I could admire and borrow from and I didn't have to pay for any of it??? That's like the absolute dream.

Same 😂😂😂

Me too, but i try to tell myself, think of the enjoyment someone else will get from this book. It sometimes works 😁

I could never

@@melanieventer3511 Alas, I had to. I was moving from a house to one room. This room is, basically, a library as it is. Painful though.

That is what I should have done, instead of being surrounded by bookcases and piles of books constantly worrying the floor will give way and I end up in the flat downstairs.

@@ba-gg6jo I am on the ground floor thankfully.

@@Lokster71 Well thankfully it is an old couple beneath me so you are safe.

haha for now, figured I might need it for a video still although I completely agree, and thank you!

May I ask why you hated it ?😅 I personally really liked it even if I struggled a bit with the writing style at the beginning

Yes!! Haha I might make it a little book emergency crawl space

Thank you so much!! I'm loving it here

:')

Thank you beautiful!

Do you know how old she is? She looks so young but I'm sure she's older than me lol, I'm 18

I hope you can pick up a book again. I had to learn from experience to not force yourself to do something that your brain's not ready for. It caused me to hate books for awhile even though I loved the sight of them and bought them all the time.

@@TiffWaffles Yeah! I have recently got into reading the song of achilles. And that and the people on BookTube as I like to call it. Have got me into reading again! ^-^

Ah amazing, I hope it's going smoothly for you!

@@emmiereads thank u

ah I'm so excited for you! I feel so relieved to be out and yes haha I know exactly how you must feel, so happy for you!! :')
