questions some of you may ask: How did you get so many books? 6+ years of collecting! Where did you get your shelves? IKEA: Billy Bookshelf series Where do you get your books? I get a lot of them at Half Price Books, independent bookstores (support your local shops!) and B&N! Where do you live? Massachusetts Didnt you live in Texas? Yes, but I moved because I missed living in Mass! Will you do a house tour? Yes! Bookshelf tour? Yes! Xoxo, Sasha
I have 3 life goals: 1. Getting my dream job obviously 2. To become so flexible that I have to have someone else help me stretch 3. To be able to say "I really need to organize all 14 of my book shelves today"
i have around 400 books and all of my friends are always shocked that i have that many and here i am watch you and laughing at my friends for thinking i have alot
I’ve been an avid reader since I was a baby so I have quite a few. When my friends come over for the first time they’re always in shock. Even friends I’ve had for years now still get shocked when I get a few more books.
Seriously, huge respect for being able to keep and move with so many books. Hubby and I got snarky comments for our five Billy (oak) bookshelves worth of books. When you're moving, you have to pack smaller boxes for your books, or else the boxes are way too heavy to lift. People helping us move were like, "how many boxes of books do you have?" You have way more than we do ;)
Oh my goodness, I just got back from a really rough volleyball practice with a lot of conditioning and to come home to this is actually a blessing thank you!
I love that you took a time out to wrestle with your dog. 😍❤ I too have at least 1,000 books. But although most of mine are mass market paperbacks, I have nowhere near enough shelf space for them all. 😢😭 But kudos to you for having *14* bookcases! 😍❤
I always love your bookshelf videos, but instead of another bookshelf tour or reorganizing bookshelf video could you do a video on how you organize it. I'm so bad at organizing I have no idea where to start with my own. I would love to hear your tips on how to do it.
As lovely as Sasha's collection is, for the rest of us at least, it's not about the amount of books you own (in my opinion), it's the amount you own and have actually bothered to read! I see so many people just buying books because they look pretty nowadays and never actually opening them. If you own lots of books then fantastic. As Sasha has said in her captions, she buys from local bookstores so that's a great investment in her local economy and the book industry. If you don't own lots of books then that's also fine, there's less "clutter" (subjectively) and you're selective with what you own. (If you do own books and read them then this obviously isn't a dig at you, it's more a dig at materialism and how we're made to think that we need more... I guess I'm just saying that lots of the comments seemed very bitter/jealous/competitive & I needed to rant about materialism!)
belle dello yah exactly! That's why I buy books once I have read them and I really love them. It's a waste of money if you haven't read the book and then you buy it. Read it online or at your local library and if you like then buy it.
This is so cool, but I will stick to the library and ebooks... if I have even half your books I won't have space, money and energy for anything else haha
The library is our greatest friend. The most important part of the book is the content, if people can afford to own the physical book then they can but otherwise just reading it is enough for me.
mrscupcake76 that's great! I never reread books so it's kinda useless for me to own the book. But if am buying it I'll go for kindle because they take up no space and is weightless if you want to move around XD
Oh my gosh! The fact that you put all this together in basically a five minute video is astounding! I'm organizing my new shelves this weekend and I'm not looking forward to how time consuming it will be 😂
Mm I actually thought you have more books, 1000 is really normal considering you have been on booktube and in collaboration with authors for years, what I am very interested now is how many of them have you read? :D
@Exotic Subliminals I have more. But I buy them all at the used book store section of libraries, thrift shops, and yard sales so they're usually only 25¢ to $3 each.
this is 90% "oddly satisfying" to me! the other 10% would be you having a corner bookshelf on that, well, corner, instead of doing a right angle but that is just a pet peeve of mine, this is awesome
I hope to have as many books as you one day! I haven't been collecting books for long, and my dad doesn't make a lot of money, and I can't get a job until next year, so it will take awhile, but I hope to have my own library some day.
I only have about 80 books and half I haven't read because many of the books I have read in the past, I borrowed from my school library. I started collecting about six months ago. My dream is to have a book collection that is basically a library (like yours), but my room doesn't have space!
This is actually goals! And weirdly satisfying to watch... Also, do you have a favoured method of organising your shelves (i.e. author, colour etc.) or do you just put them where they look pretty?
You've given me some great ideas in positioning my bookshelves around my future apartment. I was thinking that I'd have to get a second bedroom before I saw this.😊
questions some of you may ask:
How did you get so many books?
6+ years of collecting!
Where did you get your shelves?
IKEA: Billy Bookshelf series
Where do you get your books?
I get a lot of them at Half Price Books, independent bookstores (support your local shops!) and B&N!
Where do you live?
Massachusetts
Didnt you live in Texas?
Yes, but I moved because I missed living in Mass!
Will you do a house tour?
Yes!
Bookshelf tour?
Yes!
Xoxo,
Sasha
I've been collecting for a year, but have been reading my whole life. I have 231 books, that are in need of reorganization lol.
abookutopia You forgot to add what kind of breed your dog was! 😊 He is so beautiful!!
abookutopia I
She has an Aussie :).
heyyyyyyyyyyyy I live in Mass too
ACTUAL BOOKSHELF GOALS 😍
A Clockwork Reader ikr

I have 3 life goals:
1. Getting my dream job obviously

#ThatRichLife
Maria K It IS a library! Life goals 😂
"I have about a thousand books..." *eyes go wide* GOALS
I just fine organizing bookshelves so satisfying.
Me too! But it's better if they're not sped up tbh
i have around 400 books and all of my friends are always shocked that i have that many and here i am watch you and laughing at my friends for thinking i have alot
booksjournalsandemily I only own just over 200 and my friends seem think it's a lot 😂
booksjournalsandemily I own 8 books. NOT OK.
I just start to like reading books.. I only have *2*
*inhales screaming*
+syakira azlan shah me 2! Like 4-5 months ago but I have like 35. Sasha is so lucky!
I’ve been an avid reader since I was a baby so I have quite a few. When my friends come over for the first time they’re always in shock. Even friends I’ve had for years now still get shocked when I get a few more books.
today I counted 56 books on my shelf. I was happy till I watched this video.
I’ve been collecting for 5 years and only ah e 220 so don’t worry if you don’t have enough books
Respect for actually moving with so many books
Jillyciousification I just helped my friend move out of her college dorm and she had about 20 books and we were struggling

Cheese's Hot Sister yaaassss volleyball🙌🏼😌🏐
I'm soooo jealous omfg your apartment looks like a cozy bookstore. This is all I've ever wanted 😢
That wall of books is the best thing I've ever seen!
I JUST WANT TO TOUCH THEM ALL *cries*
I love that you took a time out to wrestle with your dog. 😍❤
I too have at least 1,000 books. But although most of mine are mass market paperbacks, I have nowhere near enough shelf space for them all. 😢😭
But kudos to you for having *14* bookcases! 😍❤

Is it weird I think this looked like a ton of fun? Also the apartment looks great!
Approximately how many books is that? And Fraser walking on the books is adorable 😍
Fiona M she said at the beginning of the video that she owns approximately 1000 books and her friend around 500
holy thats a lot, such goals omfg
I feel like you do so many bookshelf reorganizations, weather that be because you moved or because you wanted something new, but I like them anyway!
Oh my gosh, all of those bookshelves look sooo amazing!!!! ^_^ And your dog is adorable! :)
Omg your bookshelf are GOALS

Shalini Pandya yes that’s what I do too! It’s such a good idea :)
This is so cool, but I will stick to the library and ebooks... if I have even half your books I won't have space, money and energy for anything else haha
WeiYinChan Money is the biggest problem for me, books are so expensive:(
Yea, I prefer a more minimalistic life style so buying tonnes and tonnes of books would only stress me out.
The library is our greatest friend. The most important part of the book is the content, if people can afford to own the physical book then they can but otherwise just reading it is enough for me.
mrscupcake76 that's great! I never reread books so it's kinda useless for me to own the book. But if am buying it I'll go for kindle because they take up no space and is weightless if you want to move around XD
I can never get any books from the library I'm a huge germaphobe
And here I am with just one bookshelf that is not completely full at all , Sasha's library is my dream
Honestly this is like a Pinterest board come to life! They look wonderful!
You don't have a collection, you have a LIBRARY!
I rewatched frazer jumping on you like 10 times, it was so funny x
I only have about 100 but im thankfull for them all

Great bookshelf organizing video 😍
Literally a library. I love it 📚
Your dog... always looking at you as you move ❤
Would love to have a room like this in my house one day! Love the channel
Mm I actually thought you have more books, 1000 is really normal considering you have been on booktube and in collaboration with authors for years, what I am very interested now is how many of them have you read? :D
P.S. I love that book! Mm I smell jealousy 🤔
Youcef Chehri My nose may be broken, but I don’t smell jack.
1000 is really normal xD ? 💀
@Exotic Subliminals I have more. But I buy them all at the used book store section of libraries, thrift shops, and yard sales so they're usually only 25¢ to $3 each.
When you are late and don't know what say but still you are beautiful and also you are living in my dream... LOVE YOU
I can't wait for you to do a bookshelf tour. It gives me new books to read.
Someday I will have a house, and in there I will have gorgeous bookshelves with a beautiful array of books to adore
Thanks for sharing! Your new shelves look great and I love how that room is set up for both reading and tv watching!
When she had more books then your library 😂
I just finally bought myself one bookshelf and I'm so happy, your bookshelf are my inspiration
Id love to see all the unread books you have!
Library goals 😍
Could you talk about how you decided to organize them in a specific way during your book tour ? Im having some issues organizing mine ahhaha.

My eyes are now blessed with the beauty of the bookshelves! This is my dream! 💖
Have you made a video talking about when / how / why you got your dog? I'd love to hear the story!
And I thought I had a lot of books haha that room looks so awesome! I def plan on having something like this when I have more space!
It looks like a small bookstore! Especially with that table right in front of one of the shelves. 😍😍
GOALS 😍😍😍
Fraser is just so adorable!!! 😍And btw thats A LOT of books girl! Love it!
This is the literal definition of bookshelf goals
Before I found your channel I thought I had a ton of books. Now you have come along and it's mindboggling.
This is serious goals. It's so beautiful.
And I love you Sasha. You are so adorable!!!!
I was so nervous when frazier was walking anywhere near the books. All I could think was "the damage" and then proceeded to cringe
that thumbnail is soooo satisfying.
this is 90% "oddly satisfying" to me! the other 10% would be you having a corner bookshelf on that, well, corner, instead of doing a right angle but that is just a pet peeve of mine, this is awesome
you can open a bookstore with that massive books!
Bookshelf goals
I'm so impressed with your books I have no words
The finished product looks so pretty!
OMG that's a lot of books! I have a 5 shelf book shelf. 2 shelves are filled with books and that's it. I own 80 books
WHAT BREED IS THAT BEAUTIFUL CREATURE
That room looks like heaven!
I have only 1 bookcase which is a second hand one from my brother. I totally need a second one tho cos my books are starting to pile up on the floor 😂
Oh my gosh the bookshelves are beautiful!!! 😍😍😍
SOO MANY BOOKS! AHHHH!
I love this so much!!
ULTIMATE BOOKSHELF GOALS ❤❤❤
The only thing which came to mind was ' woah! 😍😍😍
Your shelves are beautiful and you have so many books!! I'm insanely jealous!!

alicia grigsby IKEA (look at her pinned comment)
So theraputic but woah... when Fraser jumped on your stomach xD
Liked before I even started watching 😂 bookshelves look so good, so jealous right now haha love you Sasha!! Xxx
I hope to have as many books as you one day! I haven't been collecting books for long, and my dad doesn't make a lot of money, and I can't get a job until next year, so it will take awhile, but I hope to have my own library some day.
Please do a bookshelf organization tips video!
I need a bigger house so I can do this! *sobs* I have 1500 books not on shelves and packed up in boxes and it kills me...
I only have about 80 books and half I haven't read because many of the books I have read in the past, I borrowed from my school library. I started collecting about six months ago. My dream is to have a book collection that is basically a library (like yours), but my room doesn't have space!
i love these videos so much!!
When i tell my parents i want a library in my house they just laugh at me and think I'm crazy when I'm bloody serious
This is actually goals! And weirdly satisfying to watch... Also, do you have a favoured method of organising your shelves (i.e. author, colour etc.) or do you just put them where they look pretty?
Your dog is sooo cute! I'm in love with him! 💜😘
Sasha could you post about how you pack your books when you move to prevent damage?
BOOKSHELF GOALS!!! 💖 also I miss MA and I've only been at college in CA for 4 days
You've given me some great ideas in positioning my bookshelves around my future apartment. I was thinking that I'd have to get a second bedroom before I saw this.😊
This is a a little piece of heaven right there.
Your new bookshelves are so gorgeous! Please do an updated tour??
How do you move that much book??!!!! And how do you manage not to torn the dust jackets?
This is so satisfying to watch.
This is such a wonderful and satisfying video to watch
I saw all the boxes in your car o your Instagram and I wo see how many of them had books piled inside
I loved your reaction to Fraser lol "oh ok"
Omg I'm so excited for this video!!!!
This is legit goals!
Fraiser 😍😍😍 and so many books, beautiful ❤️ is fraiser moving with you ❤️
