And I love that you have a shelf for Harry Potter and a shelf for Shadowhunter books :D I want that, when I have more bookshelves. At the moment I have stacks on top of my bookshelf because there isn't room for my books xD
THE FIRST DYSTOPIAN AND FANTASY SHELVES ARE MY FAV. Really liked how you organized your books Emma. Also 13:26 .....it almost falls haha:) and question: for your bookshelves, I'm thinking of getting the ones in have but in black and mainly do your shelves bend at all? Because I got bookshelves from walmart and lets just say 5 months later *every single shelf bent* ugh
Thanks so much! Hahha well I wouldn't say my shelves bend, the shelves themselves are really sturdy. My only issue with it is that the backboard isn't made out of the same wood as the books (it's kinda flimsy?) so when you push a lot of books back on the shelf, the back tends to get a bit distorted but I don't think I'd ever by different bookshelves :))
emmmabooks ah I see thanks!! I think most bookshelves have those flimsy backs and I really wish that wasn't the case in we have so many books and it might crowded and we want it to be secure so I totally get and understand that one particular frustration:) great and thanks Emma! Off to buy them shelves now....even tho it means less space in my room but MORE BOOKS AMIRITE??!
I love your shelves! They're so pretty (just like you!), and it's fun to watch you talk about your books and some of the trinkets you have on your shelves. It really makes me want to expand on my book collection!
Shelf goals so pretty so organized aaaah! I really like them all you just keep things in a better order than I do!! Emma soon enough you're gonna have a full bookcase dedicated to Cassie Clare books and merch I'm not even doubting this for a second...
You do a really good job of collecting the books you like with such pretty covers! The spines all look so neat and colourful! Mine is quite mismatched.
So lovely. Kinda wish I could organize my shelves like this, but they just aren't set up that way. Right now I've got a rainbow shelf. But after Christmas I will probably change it.
Your Shadowhunter shelf looks amazing-I'm so jealous! I can't believe you made that mortal cup! When i see it in the background of videos I've alway thought you bought it! It turned out really well! Do you study art/is it a hobby of yours?
+Aideen G thanks so much! i actually didn't even take a ceramics class haha, my mom works in my old highschool and she was an aid for a kid taking a ceramics class, so she was able to convince the teacher to help me make something :)
+Emily Lowrey thanks! i only recently bought books 3-5 in hardcover because they used to be paperback and destroyed haha (literally my rabbit ate the entire cover of OotP and i had to glue the shreds of it to cardboard and tape it to the book) XD
i have to do a LOT of reconsutrction with my bookshelves considering i need a new one before doing a new tour hahah but it's definitely in the front of my mind and i will be doing one soon!!
+Hunting Books (xXNiiisyXx) they were actually a gift, but they're exclusive to one website. you can probably find it by searching "shadowhunter tarrot cards" on google :)
this video was edited with sony vegas pro 8 and adding music/text depends on the specific editor you're using; you can look up tutorials on how to add music/ text to videos on youtube!
+Randa Moody out of the books i have on my shelves? i have absolutely no idea hahaha i try and not focus on the amount of books i have to read and just pick up the ones i'm feeling at the moment :)
Did you screw the bookshelves into the walls? I'm looking to purchase them, but I don't want to screw to in due to the fact that I rearrange my room like twice a year.
Isn't Abby Lee Miller the teacher from Dance Moms? Didn't know she wrote a book. Love Maddie. I love bookshelf tours. They make me feel depressed about my tiny shelf, but still. I need the Infernal Devices. I've read them but don't own it.
+Michelle Li she is! hahah yeah it's a really interesting book. mostly focused on how to further a child's dance career, and even though i'm clearly not the mother of a dancer, it was a really interesting and informative read! you should definitely invest in a set of them!
Sigh....really no chance to ask my mom for a gift right now. probably have to wait for the end of the year with all the holidays and my bday. That is literally when I get most of my books.
+Leia TheBest I have a whole video dedicated to receiving books to review if you want to check it out! hopefully you'll gain some tips from it :) ua-cam.com/video/F5IW9kyUAmo/v-deo.html
thank you so much! I watched it and got a lot of useful information from it!! I currently have a bookstagram and am wanting to try out booktube. wish me luck :)
Yanz vloggz I am aware of this, sometimes it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to fit all the books in one genre in one or two shelves so they have to overlap. The genre shelves are not so much as a label, but a general guide. Thank you!
+AquaSimmer there are lots of different ways you can get a bookshelf! you can always take a free wall and put multiple shelves to display them, that might make it more spacious than a hunk of wood in the middle of your appartment hahah
emmmabooks Thank you!! I wanna get back into reading hardback and paperback books instead of Wattpad books all the time. :) Can't wait for your next video!!
+WonderlandKittyKat the way i've always organized them is that my jrr tolkien books tend to fit with my sci-fi books better than my fantasy shelf (bc my fantasy shelf always takes the longest to organize for some reason) so i just keep them on the end haha
The Hobbit, Lord of The Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire and probably others I didn't catch are fantasy not sci-fi. I don't mean it in a mean way, just in case that's how you're reading it. Just wanted to let you know.
+Victoria Goddard i just keep them on there just to even out the shelves a bit hahahah i actually went to put both of them on my fantasy shelves last night finally and i was like.... damn there's literally no room XD
+Legends.etg I'm sorry to have spoiled you! Generally if a series has been concluded for about a decade, especially one as large as Harry Potter, I don't try as hard to refrain from spoilers because the majority of the people on this site have read it. Also, I got my Ginny wand (if this is what you're talking about) wayyyyyy before the series concluded (I received it around 2004/5) and I still got it for the same reason because I always believed Harry & Ginny would end up together even without the series being over. That comment wasn't intentionally meaning to talk about part of the ending, but to express that I wanted to be Ginny Weasley when I was younger because I wanted to marry Harry.
Sometimes I have to sacrifice putting books on other shelves in order to make room for other books. Not every single book fits perfectly into my "genre shelves" but the majority of books on that shelf are sci fi.
+Gordie Meek i don't think there's a such thing as "too romantic for boys". it's an urban fantasy romance series. if that's something you're into, i would definitely recommend giving the series a try! it's not the absolute best writing in the world, but the story is very entertaining and i love it :)
Because I own so many books I cannot always keep every single book exclusively with their genre so I will sometimes put them on a different shelf. The genre labels on my shelves are meant to just serve as a guide, not accurately define every book on there.
your harry potter anfd showhunters shelves are beautiful. and omg the special british editions of TMI are just soooo pretty
+Emma L. aw thanks!haah yeah i love them :)
The evolution of the shelves!
the shelf with the divergent books on it is my favorite
I actually love organizing my book shelve, it's kinds soothing! lol
love your herry potter set and city of bones set too its so pretty
You are so organized with your books!! I feel like my books are all over the place :)
+HufflepuffWolf i try really hard to keep them organized lol
And I love that you have a shelf for Harry Potter and a shelf for Shadowhunter books :D I want that, when I have more bookshelves. At the moment I have stacks on top of my bookshelf because there isn't room for my books xD
THE FIRST DYSTOPIAN AND FANTASY SHELVES ARE MY FAV.
Really liked how you organized your books Emma.
Also 13:26 .....it almost falls haha:)

Emma soon enough you're gonna have a full bookcase dedicated to Cassie Clare books and merch I'm not even doubting this for a second...
+OhEmVee Reads that is my goal XD
You do a really good job of collecting the books you like with such pretty covers! The spines all look so neat and colourful! Mine is quite mismatched.
+LoveMeSomeSarcasm thanks!! i tend to do my best to match all of my covers haahahah
Your bookshelves are amazing! This is definitely the best bookshelf tour I've seen! ❤️
+Aura Sage aw thank you so much!
My favorite shelf is the shadowhunters and I love all the trinkets. They are so cool! And I love all of your videos!!😄
So lovely. Kinda wish I could organize my shelves like this, but they just aren't set up that way. Right now I've got a rainbow shelf. But after Christmas I will probably change it.
+verrisawkward oooh i wish i had a rainbow shelf! i'm too much of an anal retentive to do so thoughahah
#newyearnewbookshelves
That's what everyone says. And honestly, so am I. But I did it, and now I'm used to it and it doesn't bother me very much anymore.

Do you study art/is it a hobby of yours?
+Aideen G thanks so much!
i actually didn't even take a ceramics class haha, my mom works in my old highschool and she was an aid for a kid taking a ceramics class, so she was able to convince the teacher to help me make something :)
I love your HP shelf! I really need to update my collection, I have this mismatched old (well loved) tattered collection
+Emily Lowrey thanks! i only recently bought books 3-5 in hardcover because they used to be paperback and destroyed haha (literally my rabbit ate the entire cover of OotP and i had to glue the shreds of it to cardboard and tape it to the book) XD
obsessed with you and your shelves

This might be fairly obvious, but clearly the TMI/TID shelf!😉
Did you screw the bookshelves into the walls? I'm looking to purchase them, but I don't want to screw to in due to the fact that I rearrange my room like twice a year.
+Jennifer Sherk they're not screwed in! they're just standing on my floor haha

Awkward moment when the hobbit and game of thrones are put in the sci-fi shelf oh well great video Emma :)
Yanz vloggz I am aware of this, sometimes it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to fit all the books in one genre in one or two shelves so they have to overlap. The genre shelves are not so much as a label, but a general guide. Thank you!
SO HONORED PROGENY OF GODS MADE IT TO THE SHEELLLFF!! XD
+stiqula :D :D :D :D :D
Soo, this is my second time watching this lol. I wanna get a bookshelf SO bad, but my apartment is really small :(
+AquaSimmer there are lots of different ways you can get a bookshelf! you can always take a free wall and put multiple shelves to display them, that might make it more spacious than a hunk of wood in the middle of your appartment hahah
emmmabooks I finally found one that doesn't look too wide. All I have to do is reorganize. Just in time because I just ordered over 10 books haha.
+AquaSimmer hahha congrats!!
emmmabooks Thank you!! I wanna get back into reading hardback and paperback books instead of Wattpad books all the time. :) Can't wait for your next video!!
Your bookshelves look awesome although The Hobbit & The LOTR books should be on your Fantasy shelf not sci if :-)
+WonderlandKittyKat the way i've always organized them is that my jrr tolkien books tend to fit with my sci-fi books better than my fantasy shelf (bc my fantasy shelf always takes the longest to organize for some reason) so i just keep them on the end haha
haha cool I was just curious as to why you had them that way
The Hobbit, Lord of The Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire and probably others I didn't catch are fantasy not sci-fi. I don't mean it in a mean way, just in case that's how you're reading it. Just wanted to let you know.
+Victoria Goddard i just keep them on there just to even out the shelves a bit hahahah
i actually went to put both of them on my fantasy shelves last night finally and i was like.... damn there's literally no room XD
O.O So............... Many.................... BOOKS....................
Harry Potter just got spoiled for me
+SamStackShelfs doesn't mean I've read it.
+Legends.etg I'm sorry to have spoiled you! Generally if a series has been concluded for about a decade, especially one as large as Harry Potter, I don't try as hard to refrain from spoilers because the majority of the people on this site have read it.

That comment wasn't intentionally meaning to talk about part of the ending, but to express that I wanted to be Ginny Weasley when I was younger because I wanted to marry Harry.
+emmmabooks it's all good. I wasn't being serious.
Harry Potter one, duuh xD
Since when are the hobbit and lotr sci-if? Lmao
Sometimes I have to sacrifice putting books on other shelves in order to make room for other books. Not every single book fits perfectly into my "genre shelves" but the majority of books on that shelf are sci fi.
Uhh....is twilight a good read for a boy? Or is it too romantic....for a boys liking
No offense boys who like this!
+Gordie Meek i don't think there's a such thing as "too romantic for boys". it's an urban fantasy romance series. if that's something you're into, i would definitely recommend giving the series a try! it's not the absolute best writing in the world, but the story is very entertaining and i love it :)

x"D....you clearly don't give a shit about A Game of Thrones...like what did you do to it x"D?
they're actually my sister's copies, i haven't read them yet! she doesn't have a bookshelf so she lets me keep them on mine.
