BOOKSHELF TOUR (300+ books)

hey youtube it's Zoey and today I'm going to give you a tour of my current bookshelves it's been three years since I last showed you my shelves so we are in dire need of this update I've just been waiting to film it because I never felt like my shelves were perfect especially compared to other booktubers who have shelf upon shelf of gorgeous books lining their walls compared to them I have a smaller collection of books don't get me wrong I know I have a lot of books but I have to constantly on haul books as new ones come in because I have quite a small room and I can't fit any more bookshelves in here anyway the moral of this story is that there's no such thing as perfection so here are my imperfectly perfect shelves I finally organize them in a way that works for me I organized them by vague genre so fantastical books are together and then more realistic contemporary books are together and then I organize them by height within that category so now it's time to go through every book I own we're going to start with my big book shelves over there which my dad built with his own two hands we went together to Home Depot and picked out the wood together and then he put it together he stained the wood I love these shelves there's so much love put into them and I think they're so pretty but also sometimes I still do miss my old white shelves from Ikea because these new shelves are almost too pretty I'm so scared that I'm going to scratch them or somehow accidentally destroy them [Music] [Music] all right so starting with the top left shelf of my big bookcase we have some assorted sci-fi fantasy novels the tallest ones firstly I have the illustrated editions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the Chamber of Secrets and the Prisoner of Azkaban all illustrated by Jim Kay they aren't with the rest of my Harry Potter books simply because they're just way too big way too tall to fit on that other show Outlander by Diana Gabaldon because you'll love

I got in Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando inside I forgot which card I got oh I got Gryffindor if you want you can pause this and learn all about Godric Gryffindor I have the u.s. paperback versions of the series which I'm not going to pull out because they look exactly the same as the hard covers the first one is held together by tape glue and a lot of hope the screenplay to fantastic beasts and where to find them these are the three Hogwarts library books or whatever they're called Quidditch through the ages by kennel worthy with fantastic beasts and where to find them by Newt Scamander and the tales of Beedle The Bard with notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore I have the first book in Italian I don't read Italian I don't speak Italian but I went to Italy and this was the memento I chose and I have the new UK hardcover editions of the first and seventh book that I got from the Harry Potter studios in London both side of my top shelf doesn't have any books on it it's just filled with pretty stuff that I'm going to show you very quickly this is a collection of Harry Potter Wizarding money that my dad got somewhere I have no idea but we have a gold galleon a silver sickle and a bronze canet this is something that I spontaneously made one night when watching a movie in case you forgot what a house I'm in and these are the book Canon colors bronze and Baloo not silver they have way too many wands I live in Orlando so I go to Harry Potter world pretty frequently this is Luna Lovegood Swan I am obsessed with it if I had to have a wand in real life to do actual magic I would choose this one because it perfectly fits my tiny little hands and it's in the shape of a tulip which is my favorite flower this is Hermione Granger's is interactive so you can do magic with it too this last one is not a character wand it's one that Ollivander picked for me he picked me out of the crate and we went through the whole wand choosing ceremony and this was the one that chose me oh-ho-ho-ho-ho and finally this is a wood print of a Pride and Prejudice cover down to my second shelf we have all of my classic books Aesop's Illustrated fables The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien The Outsiders by se Hinton a Christmas carol and other holiday tales by Charles Dickens Animal Farm by George Orwell Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte great expectations by Charles Dickens weathering Heights

Anne of Ingleside a Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens as you can see these aren't in really any order it's mostly by height I go down and then I go up a Great Gatsby by F scott Fitzgerald the borrower's by Mary Norton north and south by Elizabeth Gaskell The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne Matilda by Roald Dahl The Witches by Roald Dahl a little princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett the secret garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and of Green Gables by LM Montgomery again but with a different cover that is shorter so that's why it's over here and not with the rest of the Anna green gables books The Wizard of Oz by l frank Baum and Frank the Diary of a young girl Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and watership down by Richard Adams and saving the best for last we have the last section and my favorite section of my bookshelf my Jane Austen area for some reason I started collecting different editions of Jane Austen novels specifically Pride and Prejudice but if I find a cool edition of any of her novels I will pick it up so that's why I have so many starting us off we have Northanger Abbey persuasion and Mansfield Park these are the vintage classics editions Jane Austen's short stories and unfinished works Lady Susan the sins and santan this is Pride and Prejudice in Italian I got it as a souvenir the same time I got the first Harry Potter book as a souvenir I can't read them Sense and Sensibility Pride and Prejudice this is my favorite cover and Emma these are the Splinter classic lines editions I have a manga style illustrated edition of Pride and Prejudice I have the hardcover Penguin Classics box set which includes Pride and Prejudice this is my least favorite Pride and Prejudice cover I do not like the color scheme persuasion Emma Northanger Abbey Mansfield Park love and friendship and other youthful writings and finally Sense and Sensibility this was my first copy of Pride and Prejudice which I read in tenth grade this is a really fun colorful illustrated edition which I bought in London in 2015 and finally the last book is a compilation of Jane Austen's seven novels which I got from Barnes & Noble many a year ago already so those are the 315 books I own not including audio books or ebooks Emma may have counted wrong anyway thank you so much for watching let me know if I don't own your favorite book and I may think about adding it to my collection despite the fact that I am quickly running out of space I am so lucky to have the amount of books that I own and I'm so glad that I finally was able to share them all with you I'll let you get on with your day now thanks and I'll talk to you all soon in the next video [Music]
