@@EmilyCait I might actually try this when cleaning my books. I finally got an actual bookshelf (I've had a makeshift bookshelf for a number of years but my books were starting to not fit on it anymore and I realized it was time to buy an actual bookshelf) and while taking all my books out of my room, I realized how dusty so many of my bookshelf were 😅 We're building the bookshelf tomorrow and I think I'm gonna vacuum my books before putting them on the shelves lol Thanks for showing your organization process and stuff. Now I have ideas on how I might organize my books 😊

I agree with it being really interesting when you get to see more of where a person films and a behind the scenes type view. I always like the amount of light you get in that room. It's something I wish I could change about my setup but not an option sadly.

@EmilyCait 6 жыл бұрын

I am very fortunate that this basement gets the amount of light that it does -- I love having the natural light come in. I lived in a different (illegal) basement apartment when I was a student that had tiny windows. It was like living in a cave. :P

I always go to start organizing by categories and genres, but then I realize that authors don't stick to one, so then I get all flustered and keep everything as alphabetical by last name of author lol This looked like a lot of work, and your sister is awesome for helping paint. Mine do not offer help like that! Glad you got internet!

@EmilyCait 5 жыл бұрын

It was a lot of work, but I think it was worth it. I end up sorting the books by the same categories we have at my work just to make things easy for myself when I have to make bookish recommendations, but I can see that not working for everyone :P

@juliehughes1258 2 ай бұрын

Really late to comment but I just had to say that you did a fantastic job on this huge project, Emily. I enjoyed this so very much. For my two cents, I prefer biographies and autobiographies shelved by the person being written about and not the person who did the writing. I approach the biography section of a book store and I’m not looking for an author; I’m looking for the subject of the book because I don’t know the name of the author (unless it’s Doris Kearns Goodwin), and I want all the Abraham Lincoln books shelved together. Just me and never mind me. Again, a truly great effort that has really paid off. Your plants are so healthy!

I know I'm literally a year late to this but I am *deeply* intrigued by the sound of your masters thesis since Tamora Pierce is also one of my absolute fav authors and the Protector of the Small quartet does just about win out as my favourite - Keladry is my Queen. Ironically enough I'm also currently listening to Witch, Please (for the first time ever, because I've apparently lived in UTTER IGNORANCE for years) and while I can't quite tell if it's slowly making me question my love of the Harry Potter books by shining a stern light on all the ways that JKR wrote some dodgy af stuff into them, I'm having a damn fun time listening to the podcast XD. And as a final thought because this is becoming an essay - I highly appreciate how you've organised all the books by age category, genre and then author's last name. I've seen a distressing number of bookshelf tours when everything is just shoved on the shelves any which way with no real attempt at order beyond aesthetics and my wannabe librarian heart cannot stand it so *thank you* for such a delightful video.

@EmilyCait 4 жыл бұрын

I'm actually working on formatting my MA thesis into a video series for 2020! And Kel is my favorite too. She is such a badass female character. Love her! I have reread the HP series since I started listening to Witch, Please and I still enjoy it. I'm a lot more wary of spending any money on HP things (new editions of books, general merch, etc) because I'm not sure how I feel about Rowling as a human post podcast. But once I get into the story I get all the good fuzzy nostalgic feels back. :) If you like Witch, Please, you should check out the young adult podcast Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr -- Hannah McGregor recently appeared on it to talk about HP and the film post-Witch Please. And thanks for watching this excessive bookshelf tidy up. I don't think I could organize books any other way. I have organized my unread books by colour for fun. But there aren't that many of them. I can't imagine trying to find one of my read books to pull a quotation for something and having to actually search every shelf for it. :P

Great video! So technically YA is for ages 12 and up, unless otherwise stated. This is always confusing, especially when publishers don’t put a recommended age. So books like “A Court of Thorns and Roses” is technically recommended for 12 year olds, lol. Which if you’ve read that book, you’ll know how ridiculous that is. Anyway, love the color you picked. It’s very light and bright, and goes wonderfully with your book cases. It makes the books stand out.

ACOTAR isn't classed as YA, but rather would be classed as New Adult (NA) if NA was a proper genre.

Hi Emily. I really appreciate the effort that you put into making this video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Question: I noticed that your ceiling is made up of roof tiles. Is that common in residential properties where you live? Here in Ireland, you would only ever see ceilings like that in office buildings etc.

@AndAllsToDoAgain 6 жыл бұрын

Brendan Fisher They are usually in basement celings, but it depends on the plumbing,etc. of the house. It's for easy access to the utilities.

@EmilyCait 6 жыл бұрын

Hi there! I'm glad you enjoyed watching! :) Skittish Elf is right, these ceiling tiles are sometimes in the basements of newer houses in my area (and commercial buildings). And they do allow easy access to utilities. Although I will say that I've never been in another residential space with ceiling tiles throughout the many student houses I've lived in during my undergrad. None of my friends houses have it either (they have drywall on the ceiling). I'm not sure if that has to do with the age of my house or with the speed/quality of the build. I'm wondering if these tiles were faster/cheaper to install over drywall :P

@Geeuu 5 жыл бұрын

so how many of the books on you own have you read?

@EmilyCait 5 жыл бұрын

Doing some rough math.... The four cases that I set up across the one wall are all the "read" books that I've decided to keep in my collection. And they probably average 30 books a shelf x 6 shelves per case x 4 cases. It's probably safe to guessimate 720+ read/owned books. Probably more because the picture books are separate and smaller, and some of those shelves are double stacked or flat stacked to maximize space and throw off that average. The other two book cases that I set up by my desk in this video are my "unread books" -- according to my excel spread sheet, I currently have 150 unread owned books. I read about 100 books a year, so I feel that's manageable :)

@EmilyCait 5 жыл бұрын

They are affordable, sturdy enough to support books without shelves bowing, flat-packed for easy transport, take zero carpentry skill to build, and are moveable for renting twenty and thirty somethings (of which the community is largely composed of). Seems pretty ideal to me. :)

@EmilyCait 5 жыл бұрын

I have a central vac system, so it's basically just a long hose that connects to tubes in the walls that empty into a large canister. I have longer brush attachments for doing the floor and ceiling and small brush attachments for doing things like bookshelves and tables. I'm not dragging an upright vacuum along the ceiling or my books :P

What if you changed your mind about the color a few months in, how horrible would that be. But it does look a lot better.

@EmilyCait 6 жыл бұрын

I really do like the neutral colour. My little space is already pretty busy with the colour from the bookshelves, so having a "boring" colour on the walls just makes the space feel a bit nicer. Although, now that I've been taught how to paint, I feel pretty confident in my ability to change the colour if I ever want to :P
