Glad I’m not the only one. 61 here. Sometimes feel a bit of a creeper in the shadows (not in a weird way). They’re both a guilty pleasure to follow. Love seeing the little glimpses they give us. They’re so adorable together. And it’s so wonderful watching them go forward in their lives. To work towards something. To explore. To experience. Love seeing how free and open they are.
I’m 59, and I love watching their videos about my two favorite subjects, books and plants. I look forward to Chris’s book reviews, and my daughter was impressed I read the Emily Wilde books. 😂
Seeing Chris' happy face talking about his channel is the most wholesome loving thing ever 💙 We're so grateful you're making these videos Chris, thank you!!!
I used to work at B&N and taking a big cart of books to shelve and put them in alphabetical order was my FAVE thing to do. It's so therapeutic to me. So happy you could to this to your own home bookshelf-- it looks great!
idk if this will make any sense to anyone but I organise my books by countries so not only the series aren’t split up but also the authors and then I put countries into continents - so all asian books together, all european books together and so on it works WONDERS ✨
This is my first encounter with your channel and oh my god??!! Like I was smiling throughout the whole video, sure, but the moment Benji started singing the alphabet song to see what letter comes next, I smashed "subscribe"! The bookshelves look amazing guys🥹 Can't wait to see more of your contents!
Great job guys!!! I love how Chris looks at Benji when he’s speaking and waits till he finishes before he starts speaking. Such gentle manners. Loved this cozy video. Congratulations on your 20k Chris 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
love both of your channels! my fiancé and I are also plant and book people. just wanted to say thank you to both you y'all because I've made it through med school watching/listening to y'all on repeat since my first year (just started my 3rd year!). hope you're both doing well!
I love how chris showed more of his personality in this video! Love your energy chris! Your video makes me feel safe which is something I really need right now I also think you’re gonna make it far! I would love more lifestyle videos too as I’m not always looking for books hehe
19:22 I did indeed fall asleep to this video, ended up taking a 2-hour nap that will probably make bedtime difficult. your video is so relaxing lol I can’t be mad
I loved watching this video, the satisfaction. But honestly, it also makes me so glad I started just giving books away after I read them. I LOVE the bookshelf aesthetic, but I love books having new lives with others. If I keep them, they will just gather dust. And I have enough books sitting on the shelf just waiting to be read.
Annihilation is such a great lovecraftian, unsettling book. It works as a standalone but the whole Southern Reach trilogy which tells the complete story from Annihilation to Authority to Acceptance is both captivating and entertaining.
I had this up on my monitor while I worked on my laptop. I loved how wholesome and relaxing it was (felt I was organizing the shelf with you all with nice bg sounds) :)
Loved this. I felt I was just sitting in a corner watching you two. Watching you together makes me feel so good. BTW, I’m more like Benji as far as organizing goes. I’ve got books in every room; fiction, non fiction. It would take me forever!
Congratulations on your 20K subscribers! I love your content and how you seem to be true to your personality. It seems all so natural and cozy 💕 and yes, organizing a library IS fun and enjoyable. I loved this video :)
Chris, you tend towards linearity, whereas Benji tends towards organasmic 😉! You 2 are so suited together like Theo and Winnie playing during the vid🐕🐈⬛❤🙏
16:45 I have a Notion page for all my books. There I organize them by tbr, currently reading and finished. I also have subcategories such as rating on a scale from 1 to 5, genre, obv author name and number of pages. I read a lot of e-books, so I like to be able to actually see all the books I've read in overview. Also I mostly read on my kindle and only buy the physical copy if i really love the book. I love having paperbacks but I hate having my room fill up with piles of books I don't actually like and will never look again
I loved this video! And it took you no time at all. The clock on the right hand side of your bookshelf didn’t move it all. It was on 10:40 the entire time. Lol anyway, the bookshelf looks great. Love you both! ❤️
One thing that I’ve found to be a great help with books and bookshelves is a cleaning aid. Get some wood boards. About 2-3 inches by 1 inch. Cut lengths maybe a 0.5 inch shorter than each shelf that will contain books. Sand the edges. Place each length onto each shelf. Orient so that the 1 inch side is flat to the back panel of the shelf. Put books in place. Now when you want to do a basic dusting you just tip the books (however many you can push back and hold with one hand) towards the back and dust. I find that with generally anything the books always get pushed to the back of the shelves and it makes a pain to clean. Also with the books on higher shelves when they’re pushed back you can’t clearly see what’s there.
My organisation bug and after work brain fog really appreciated this video. Also i just finished "song of Achilles" and the comment about Chris' hair absolutely destroyed me😅
Hello, Chris. I was actually organizing my stationery as I watched your video. I loved the organized shelves --- they looks so clean and purposeful. Thank you for sharing this with us. Say hi to Benji too ✨☘️
Aaaahhhh I love your shirt Chris!! It’s so awesome and so you as well😅 some organization would make you feel even better when you see your home library in order. So happy you both can enjoy and hang out while cleaning 💙
19:22-19:30: Crafting marketing content for my inaugural pop-up event, where I'll be selling my crafts to the public for the first time! Feeling the stress, but your vibe is keeping me grounded. 😅
You can put the sofa in front of the window it will be great view every day looking to your bookshelves proudly. Try this change I did it and found it awesome.
I recently found your channel and im so glad i did! I read Lie with me and The very secret society of irregular witches because of you and i absolutely loved both the books!! I can't thank you enough for the videos you have put out and i look forward to watching your future videos!💗
Omg 19:40 "this is a background video while you are also rearranging your book shelves." that is literally what I am doing. are you the CIA? I lov3 your videos. you both are beautiful souls and always make me happy when I watch you. I follow Benji also those plant videos are fire.
So there's this novel that I'm reading and both of you guys remind me of it certain aspects ,as in chris would be of the reader pathway and Benji would be of the Planter pathway. These pathways are like a power system in the book, it's called lord of the mysteries of you guys are interested. 😅
Your face when you looked at the camera at 12:51 when Benji says, "but it's so clean looking now" LOL 🤣 Congratulations on your milestone for subscribers! Can't wait to see more of your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great stories, great video, and love listening to you speak, Chris. You have a great narrator’s voice. Have you ever considered getting into voiceover work?
I can't believe you haven't watched Buffy the vampire slayer. It's my favorite show of all time. Loved your video, as always. Theo and Winnie are so adorable!
I always organizing and reorganize my bookshelves alphabetically for a period until I have some genres like : Adults, bibles, biographies, ..... And when I buy new books every semester it will be great disaster, my living room turning crazy space and mom too, haha. I love you both guys, such cool persons you are and your lovely pets too, I have a puppy and my daughter wants a cat but actually I can't have it, I live in a high building floor and I can't let the air flows in the apartment if I closed it always and she will run to outside and put her in danger, I am so scared of the idea.
I’m a literature professor at a school in Atlanta (and I only mention this because I have books EVERYWHERE in my home). I feel that I would need to pay someone to organize my books by author. Impossible to do by myself or with friends.
just wanted to say that i read annihilation earlier this year and LOVED it, my favourite read of the year by far, its spellbinding and so well-written… i’m sure you’d love it :) (also so so SO different and much better than the movie lol)
Omg my favs collide I had no idea u guys know Ellias, im gonna need a collab with the queer platonic soulmates power duo that is Cindy and Ellias now please and thank you 😌
Oh you guys make my day happier! Im an old 59 year old fan here and thinking how adorable you guys are+ the pets!
Glad I’m not the only one. 61 here. Sometimes feel a bit of a creeper in the shadows (not in a weird way). They’re both a guilty pleasure to follow.
Love seeing the little glimpses they give us. They’re so adorable together. And it’s so wonderful watching them go forward in their lives. To work towards something. To explore. To experience.
Love seeing how free and open they are.
I’m 59, and I love watching their videos about my two favorite subjects, books and plants. I look forward to Chris’s book reviews, and my daughter was impressed I read the Emily Wilde books. 😂
I'm 54 and these two guys restore my faith in human nature.. ❤❤✨✨
62 here. I like this channel. It's great seeing a happy, well adjusted young couple enjoying their lives together.
And…61 here. ❤ your vibe!
Theo and Winnie in this video behaving very mindful and DEMURE💜
very cutesy, very demure🙂↕️
I love how soft spoken you guys are
This is EXACTLY what I needed to decompress after work. Thank you - you guys are so wholesome 😭
😊💘
AGHAST at the Tress slander coming from a sanderson fan (it's easily top 3 for me)
Seeing Chris' happy face talking about his channel is the most wholesome loving thing ever 💙 We're so grateful you're making these videos Chris, thank you!!!
i absolutely adore how you two managed a cohessive place where your two passions meet!!
I used to work at B&N and taking a big cart of books to shelve and put them in alphabetical order was my FAVE thing to do. It's so therapeutic to me. So happy you could to this to your own home bookshelf-- it looks great!
Chris's T-shirt is cuuuute
this is my new comfort channel
This video is so calming and relaxing. It's like an ASMR video for reorganizing bookshelves.
İts feel like a home. This videos make me happy. Thank you so much!!!!
Chris, I love your channel. Ilas a bibliophile myself, I share your excitement for an organized library/bookshelves. Nothing like a good book.
idk if this will make any sense to anyone but I organise my books by countries so not only the series aren’t split up but also the authors and then I put countries into continents - so all asian books together, all european books together and so on it works WONDERS ✨
This is my first encounter with your channel and oh my god??!!
Like I was smiling throughout the whole video, sure, but the moment Benji started singing the alphabet song to see what letter comes next, I smashed "subscribe"!
The bookshelves look amazing guys🥹
Can't wait to see more of your contents!
Great job guys!!! I love how Chris looks at Benji when he’s speaking and waits till he finishes before he starts speaking. Such gentle manners. Loved this cozy video. Congratulations on your 20k Chris 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is EXACTLY what I need during my lunch break at work 🙂↕️ both of your channels are my favorite thing to watch at all times
love both of your channels! my fiancé and I are also plant and book people. just wanted to say thank you to both you y'all because I've made it through med school watching/listening to y'all on repeat since my first year (just started my 3rd year!). hope you're both doing well!

You guys are too cute! Love the calmness and smoothing voice~
I loved watching this video, the satisfaction. But honestly, it also makes me so glad I started just giving books away after I read them. I LOVE the bookshelf aesthetic, but I love books having new lives with others. If I keep them, they will just gather dust. And I have enough books sitting on the shelf just waiting to be read.
Your shelves are gorgeous and you two have such a lovely energy!
Annihilation is such a great lovecraftian, unsettling book. It works as a standalone but the whole Southern Reach trilogy which tells the complete story from Annihilation to Authority to Acceptance is both captivating and entertaining.
My comfort zone ❤
I really needed this cosy video today, thank you!
This video was such a vibe, I watched it twice - thank you for the calm break, I really needed it
Perfect vid to put on while I organize my own bookshelf lol love you guys!
I bet it feels so much better now that it's organized and adding to it is gonna feel so much easier yasss
I had this up on my monitor while I worked on my laptop. I loved how wholesome and relaxing it was (felt I was organizing the shelf with you all with nice bg sounds) :)

H is for Hawk is amazing! But be ready for some tears
Annihilation is so good. Its a rare case of the book and movie being equally great cause they are so different.
Watching this in the background while I crochet, 😂. But I promise I’m still paying attention Chris ❤
Ohh you two are making me want to do some tidying so badly! Thanks for the lovely vibes and inspiration to do a little refresh
This is the perfect video to rewatch once I get my bookshelf and start organizing it

So there's this novel that I'm reading and both of you guys remind me of it certain aspects ,as in chris would be of the reader pathway and Benji would be of the Planter pathway. These pathways are like a power system in the book, it's called lord of the mysteries of you guys are interested. 😅
I'm going to use the phrase "my worst strengths" on my resume.
Thank you guys I really found that restful to watch. Rest well Jonathan P
This gave me lifeeee. Also totally agree with Benjis thoughts on Find Me by Andre Acaiman
Your face when you looked at the camera at 12:51 when Benji says, "but it's so clean looking now" LOL 🤣

theo making the cutest cameo
another cursed way of organizing books would be like jimbriel in good omens: alphabetically by the first letter of the first sentence
the final result is very pretty and aesthetic i love it!❤ also not the hyeju album😭 egoist perhaps the greatest literary masterpiece?🤔
you get it 🐺🫡
I'm rearranging a bookshelf right now.
I always organizing and reorganize my bookshelves alphabetically for a period until I have some genres like : Adults, bibles, biographies, ..... And when I buy new books every semester it will be great disaster, my living room turning crazy space and mom too, haha. I love you both guys, such cool persons you are and your lovely pets too, I have a puppy and my daughter wants a cat but actually I can't have it, I live in a high building floor and I can't let the air flows in the apartment if I closed it always and she will run to outside and put her in danger, I am so scared of the idea.

just wanted to say that i read annihilation earlier this year and LOVED it, my favourite read of the year by far, its spellbinding and so well-written… i’m sure you’d love it :)

Hope you read Blackcake. And get to know Caribbean culture tones.
