You collection is lovely!!! What I really liked it is that you have some trinkets here and there, but not to the point where it overshadows the beauty of books
Love sandersons books, I would start with Mistborn series or stormlight series. Daniel Greene has a good video on where to start with sandersons book that I found helpful.
Love seeing the Mitch Albom books, being wanting to get more. He started out as a sports writer, you know? Have you considered Kate Forsyth? Amazing fantasy writer and I have met her and she was so cool and nice in person. Another writer who has a huge amount of paranormal titles is Yasmine Galenorn, wicked and really good. Saje Williams is also good with sci-fi/fantasy twist and my favorite book he wrote is Tales from the Magictech Lounge. Wonderful video of your home library!
Ohh I didn’t know that. I’ve read 2 so far and they were both 5 stars for me. Cant wait to read more. Thanks for the fantasy recs. I haven’t heard of any of those so I’ll definitely look into them 😄
Hello Danielea, You have the most beautiful library tour I ever seen. I would love to know where to find books that have the sprayed edges. My son and his wife have a thousand plus library, but they haven't a single book like your special ones; and they read a LOT of fantasy! Thank you for sharing your collection. What an inspiring space! Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much. ☺️ Here are some of the companies that do special editions for high fantasy books: The broken binding (also have a great monthly subscription - they do special editions of backlist fantasy books - highly recommend) Inkstone books Goldsboro books Waterstones (some of their exclusive 1st printings have sprayed edges - usually need to preorder) Arcane society and Fairyloot do a lot of fantasy romance (they also have monthly subscriptions) All of the above are UK based except for arcane society but they all offer international shipping as far as I’m aware.
I can't even begin to explain how stunning your collection is. Your aesthetics are so pleasing. Keep up the amazing work! 💖 I have a personally fun question for you. What's your most anticipated fantasy release of the summer?
Aww thank you ☺️ I’m looking forward to the first bright thing by J.R Dawson which comes out towards the end of this month. The Jasad Heir sounds good too. My next most anticipated aren’t out until October.
Beautiful library I have over 3000 books in my home library I have been collecting since I was 5 I'm now nearly 50 lol but I don't duplicate my books... id be curious how many books you actually have if you took all your duplicate sets out 🤔🤓
Just wow!!! I thought I had some beautiful books but your collection is another level! Some fantastic charity shop finds too, I’ve had some good finds but nothing like you have had, awesome thrifting skills!!
Thanks Sarah. Still can’t figure out if I just cleared out their backlog of books when I started scouting round the charity shops or if it was just good timing and I got super lucky 😂
Great video! I loved Book Of Night. I think that it had a lot stacked against it though. It was marketed as a fantasy, but it’s not fantasy, it’s Urban fantasy. I also think that people were expecting Cruel Prince, and it’s nothing like that either. It started off slow, but once I was about 66 pages in, it got really good. It was such a cool, unique concept.
Ah I see. I’ve only read the first book in the cruel prince series so far so I won’t have expectations for that. I don’t mind urban fantasy so this gives me more hope 😄
What beautiful books you have and you pick up some beautiful books second hand . You must be so happy with your collection. Thankyou for showing us. Happy reading x❤😊
Exquisite collection! You asked where to start with Brandon Sanderson. I’d say Warbreaker since it’s a stand-alone I hear that recommended a lot (haven’t read it myself). I started with Mistborn era 1, now I’m finishing Mistborn era 2 and I’m thrilled.
Thanks Jak. I think I’m leaning more towards mistborn. The only thing putting me off war breaker is that goodreads is showing a sequel but it says it won’t be started until after storm light 5 & others are finished. Is there a cliffhanger at the end of war breaker or does it read like a completed story?
@@DanieleaReads I haven’t read it, only heard it as a recommendation for those who want a stand-alone, so I assume there’s a solid conclusion. I loved Mistborn a ton though so you can’t go wrong there
Loved this video! I've been trying to think of how to display my Priory of the Orange Tree sword, where did you get the frame thingies you have yours in?
@@abbysmith1810 I must admit I’ve been back to some since and they’ve not had much. I think more people are selling on vinted now or keeping their books since booktok. The oxfam book shops tend to be good for having lots of books. There’s one in Headingley, Ilkley, Skipton & Harrogate.
I just got off work and I'm seeing THIS!!!!! I'll comment further after watching!!! Edit: thank you for the tour! SO many gorgeous editions! Book Of Night was good. I like Holly's writing style. BoN wasn't a fantastic read, but I enjoyed it. Have you read Fourth Wing yet? It's so good.
Thank you for being so patient! 😂 I need to read BoN before the sequel comes out so I can decide if I want to keep any of them and which matching sequel I want to buy if I like it. I ordered a copy of fourth wing from barnes & noble because I wanted the sprayed edges but it’s currently sat in a warehouse in the US whilst I wait for my books to build up so I don’t even know if I got the sprayed edges and it’s killing me 😅 I can’t wait to get it. I don’t normally like starting unfinished series because I like to binge read them but I’m so tempted to start that one without waiting because of the insane amount of 5 star reviews. 👀
Either through monthly subscription boxes or pre-orders. Waterstones often do sprayed edges then there’s companies such as the Broken Binding, Fairyloot, Goldsboro etc.
you have THE dream bookshelf! the sprayed edges and your eye for what goes together-everything is perfect 🥹
Aw thank you! I feel like it still needs some work. Some shelves look very deliberately organised and others are so muddled 😅
Great selection
Thanks for watching 🙂
Omg!!! I am obsessed with your library!!! You are literally Belle!
I wish haha 💁♀️ The dream is to have the rolling ladder 😂
@@DanieleaReads oh yes! Thats my dream too !! 🙂
One of the best collection i have ever seen!!!! Amazing!!!
Oh wow 😮
oh my gosh its like an art gallery
😂 To be fair I do sometimes just find myself staring at them so I suppose it is.
Thank you Danielea for the very information you have given me. Your collection is absolutely stunning!
No problem. Thanks for watching! ☺️

Hello! New subbie here and I am so beyond awe at your home library !

@@DanieleaReadsit's a finished story, but it reads like there could be the start of a new story. For example by following different characters.
@@nothingbetterthanagoodbook8187 Ah right, so sounds like I could read it as a stand alone then, nice! 😄 Thanks
Beautiful collection!
Thanks Tessa. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
ugh this is just gorgeous, im obsessed
☺️ Thanks for watching 🫶
Book Shelf Goals!! ❤❤ Love your video as always! Hope you’re well. 😌
Hi Linz, I’m doing good. How are you? Thanks for supporting the channel, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😄
Loved this video! I've been trying to think of how to display my Priory of the Orange Tree sword, where did you get the frame thingies you have yours in?
Glad you enjoyed it 😄 I got mine on Amazon. Just search coin display case.
where abouts are you based? coz your charity shop finds are amazing 😂 loved the video 😊
West Yorkshire but I did go through a phase a couple of years ago of visiting a different town every weekend to look through their charity shops 😂
@@DanieleaReads I'm in West Yorkshire too but mine aren't nearly as good 😂
@@abbysmith1810 I must admit I’ve been back to some since and they’ve not had much. I think more people are selling on vinted now or keeping their books since booktok. The oxfam book shops tend to be good for having lots of books. There’s one in Headingley, Ilkley, Skipton & Harrogate.
So I see why I can never find any nice, popular books in my local Yorkshire charity shops!
🤣 This comment cracked me up! I’m so sorry Lucy, I’ll try and do better. 😅
Stunning bookshelves! Also, where did you get that dress?
Hi Catherine, thanks for watching. It’s from Joanie clothing. They have some really nice styles that I don’t often see from other retailers 🫶
Awesome am new to your channel
Hey Heidi, good to see you here. I hope you enjoyed the video 🙂

@@DanieleaReads the Fourth Wing sequel comes out in November, so you might want to add that to your order! LoL!
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 Ooh good shout. Need to secure those pretty edges 😍
Where do you find all the books with sprayed edges??
Either through monthly subscription boxes or pre-orders. Waterstones often do sprayed edges then there’s companies such as the Broken Binding, Fairyloot, Goldsboro etc.

Nice to see you Delia 🫶 Glad you enjoyed the video 😄
