Bro....I've found so many new books I want to read and I've gone from 60 on my tbr to like 176 and you DARE to have a good taste in books and make that number even higher? I'm stressed
"But at least YOU'RE not dead so... road trip!" IM-- 💀😂 I love how your content always puts me in a good mood. Downside? I end up with MORE books on my already endless TBR buuut you're right, YA has so many amazing, diverse reads coming out that I'm not even mad about it 💖 Also, I may or may not get that trolley because 👀 Ikea should sponsor you, then you can make this a series because while I don't like assembling furniture, watching some else do so is oddly therapeutic? 🤔
feeling blessed you introduced me to a new king arthur book I haven't heard of omg adding to my TBR now. BBC Merlin is one of my favorite shows of all time
ok so your jewelry game is A+, you're wearing the COOLEST printed shirt, and you're playing with power tools you're literally living my aesthetic DREAM right now
just wanted to say that i’m literally in love with your channel 🥺. i was scrolling through my youtube feed and i saw your newbie booktube tag, watched it, and *immediately* followed. you have such an amazing, warm personality and are so accepting that i honestly couldn’t resist. your the first booktuber i’ve ever subscribed to, and binging your videos is what got me back into reading. i’m guessing it’s because of what your studying in college, but you’re so educated on books too and it’s different from other channels i watched in an incredibly good way. so thank you for getting me back into reading
joel: it's quite a nice size to be hoenst joel editing: that's what she said me: giggles joel: it definitely looks like it would fit a lot of things in it joel editing: that's what he said me: *SNORTS*
"at least you're not dead...... ROAD TRIP" 😂😂 omg. Also you are tempting me to buy that trolley. I've been wanting one forever and like you, I also love putting furniture together 😁😂
I've assembled two things from Ikea in the last week and I really like assembling them too! I feel like it's so rare to find people that enjoy it as well
oh my, i was looking at your description for the books you mentioned but what caught my eye instead was the link to the junk terror bill because im from the philippines and i dont think ive seen any youtuber so far who has shed light upon the topic. thank you so so much joel youre an angel 💞
I'm the same way about building IKEA furniture, it's so relaxing but I have no clue why. I also have one of those trolleys but for art supplies instead of books, I want one for books too. The trolleys are adorable.
I watched this right after I woke up and tbh this was the most relaxing half hour I've ever spent waking up. Your vibes Mister? Immaculate. You could put your (monthly) tbr in the top basket and whenever you finish one move it to the lower basket? Idk if you plan on doing monthly wrap ups but that way you'd also have those books handy dandy sorted!
I'm a sucker for Ikea and books, this video was just what I needed as I set up my BuJo for the week, such a calming voice, could listen to you talk about books all day!
It was so fun watching this video. I literally was just sitting there organising my next few weeks' TBRs! Yes, I do weekly TBRs during the summer because I finally have time to read to my miserable heart's content! You got me interested in so many of the books you were talking about too!
You mentioned so many good books, but also some I hadn't heard of yet! Also I get the therapeutic feeling when building Ikea furniture, except when I had to build my Wardrobe in the August heat last year. I wanted to chuck it out the window haha.
I am literally petrified of reading A Torch Against The Night because book one wrecked me and I know more pain is to come. But it must happen soon before the last one comes out, going to reread book one and just devour them all. It shall destroy our souls Joel (also love the cart!!)
Just wanted to say hi! I found your channel when I was looking for some inspiration for my booktube newbie tag and I really love your vibe. Looking forward to more great content from you.
It would really be amazing if you could upload on Tuesdays and Fridays. So far I have watched all your videos and let me just say that your voice is so calming and relaxing and watching your videos have been the highlight of my week.
Very good idea it's like a vlog with content that would not be in a vlog? And btw I totally get you assembling ikea furniture is like assembling the toys in kinder eggs and I find it quite therapeutic
We just did alphabetical after a disastrous experiement. While not the most aesthetic, it's so satisfying to know exactly where to look on the shelves for the book you've got in mind! Bethany
2 videos in a week?? we are BLESSED!! also just wondering, does ikea in the UK have food courts? the ones in the states are known for their meatballs and cinnamon rolls LMAO i'm so excited for you to read these violent delights!! it was a phenomenal read 😍
Really like this concept (not just because I also have an IKEA storage unit/side table in my reading corner), it’s a bit like a laidback hangout. Anyway… Oh my goodness, Cemetery Boys. Loved the whole bit about Blazewrath Games (‘Quidditch who?’) and I saw cw on Twitter talking about These Violent Delights. I’ll try to remember these for later in the year. Oh! And I’m excited about a Daevavlog (wow, corny). So envious you won’t have to endure the interminable wait between books.
everyone is raving about your BEAUTIFUL shirt but your sword earring just makes everything better🤩 I can’t wait for A Sky Beyond The Storm OH GOD what will happen what will happen
I hadn’t heard about Blazewrath Games until this video. I cried! I’ve never read a YA book much less a fantasy book with Puerto Rico main characters. Just to know that my culture is going to be represented in a medium that I love gave me so much joy. Immediately went to pre-order this book. Still freaking out at the fact that there is going to be dragons and Puerto Ricans in the same story.
I can't wait for the City of Brass vlog!!! I finished all of them last month, and was smitten. Thank you for all of the anticipated books, I've added so many to my list :)
this video just got me so excited for these upcoming stories! my bank account is already fearing the amount of money i am going to spend on new arrivals. 😂 ( also thank you for posting a link to petitions & donations to veto the junk terror bill. sending love from the philippines! )
i'm also super excited for iron heart (you need to read crier's war asap, it was really great!!) and these violent delights - i keep hearing amazing things about it ^^
I have one of those carts! I’m thinking of putting my the books I know I’m going to read next on the top shelf, my library books on the middle shelf, but I’m not sure what to do with the bottom shelf yet :)
My most anticipated read for October is Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. I am hoping that the release will not be delayed again. Queen’s Thief is one of my all time favorite series and as much as I dread the series coming to an end do I also look forward to the new schemes and tricks of my favorite characters.
Petition for a bookshelf tour when all the books are back
i’d love that for a yt vid i’d def watch 👀
PLEASE
"give me merthur" and that's how you spot someone who used to watch Merlin
LMAO TRUE
I shipped those two so hard
Melissa Teodola same😂🙃
When he said I really liked building ikea furniture and it’s therapeutic I felt that in a spiritual level.
me too!! i love it! the instructions are the best 😂 the little man with the phone attached to an ikea shop is the vibeeee
Joel: "Paperback, hardcover - I don't judge."
me: *hides behind ebook reader*
i don’t judge them either!! however you read, it’s okay
the sHirt. the earring. the good vibes are HEREEEE.
Bro....I've found so many new books I want to read and I've gone from 60 on my tbr to like 176 and you DARE to have a good taste in books and make that number even higher? I'm stressed
LOL IM SORRY!! (but also not sorry)
How you can do ANYTHING while putting together something from IKEA...we are IMPRESSED!
i really love how you said "dragon sports" and let the audience process it that was a king move
we love to see it
the merthur outburst made me stan even harder than i did before
I’m so hAppy to know other ppl also loved Merlin BBC!! Truly Merthur rights 😤
WE NEED TO BE HEARD
I love building ikea furniture and my family thinks I’m so weird cause they all get so frustrated with the furniture 😭
Omg literally same, they all come to me when they need ikea furniture built
"But at least YOU'RE not dead so... road trip!" IM-- 💀😂
I love how your content always puts me in a good mood. Downside?

I feel like such an American every time you say trolley
feeling blessed you introduced me to a new king arthur book I haven't heard of omg adding to my TBR now. BBC Merlin is one of my favorite shows of all time
We love a guy who uses whilst properly
This is really random, but I love your shirt.
An Ember in the Ashes is so good! I'm massively behind on the series and only read the first book a couple months ago but I loved it!!
i just want to say your outfit in this video is so good like yes king and omg i cant wait for “these violent delights” too 😭
Eee thank you so much and YES! I'm hoping I'll be able to read it soon!
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT SO MUCH!!!
thank you!!!
there is nothing i love more in this world than assembling ikea furniture. i literally don't know why but i fricking love it so much
it's honestly so much fun
ok so your jewelry game is A+, you're wearing the COOLEST printed shirt, and you're playing with power tools you're literally living my aesthetic DREAM right now

thank you so much for this! your words are so lovely and i appreciate them so much -- also, definitely going to do a room tour once it's done!!
in love with ur shirt my little bi heart is so happy
I’m not the only person that thinks building ikea furniture is calming!!!! My family looked at me like I was weird when I built my bookshelf😭😭😭😭
Love love love hearing you talk about all of these, and so glad to know I'm not the only one who finds putting ikea furniture together oddly soothing
Had a rough day, but listening to you helped me get my mind off things.
Thank you.
Also I love your shirt 🔥
joel: it's quite a nice size to be hoenst
joel editing: that's what she said
me: giggles
joel: it definitely looks like it would fit a lot of things in it
joel editing: that's what he said
me: *SNORTS*
Alejandro Asher I love your profile pic 😍
@@jay-ts8ux thank you sghkslglasgsha
Gotta love a booktuber who puts the book titles and links in the description 👌
"at least you're not dead...... ROAD TRIP" 😂😂 omg.
Also you are tempting me to buy that trolley. I've been wanting one forever and like you, I also love putting furniture together 😁😂
the way that the book these violent delights matches your outfit on this video i screamed
I've assembled two things from Ikea in the last week and I really like assembling them too! I feel like it's so rare to find people that enjoy it as well
Thank you for the unique content! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this hard watching a booktube video 😭
oh my, i was looking at your description for the books you mentioned but what caught my eye instead was the link to the junk terror bill because im from the philippines and i dont think ive seen any youtuber so far who has shed light upon the topic. thank you so so much joel youre an angel 💞
of course!! it's an important matter that needs to be addressed in our current global climate and i need to do everything i can to help
also!! i hope you're staying safe and that you're well
man this is EXACTLY what I needed after finishing TAZ: Balance for the second time thanks dude :’)
Ahhh! Glad I could help because I know exactly how you feel
Where do you hear about all of these books? I've just added like 10 books to my TBR because of this video 😅
ahaha i follow a lot of bloggers on twitter and bloggers are the powerhouse of the book world
I totally agree with furniture building being therapeutic! It’s very relaxing
I’m the same! I love building furniture! So therapeutic and I feel so accomplished when I finish it too
I'm the same way about building IKEA furniture, it's so relaxing but I have no clue why. I also have one of those trolleys but for art supplies instead of books, I want one for books too. The trolleys are adorable.
would love to see a chatty bookshelf organising video like this, such a fun casual format for a video 📚✨
Joel building things is my new favourite type of video
I also love putting together ikea furniture... it's just so satisfying!
Merlin and Arthur were IN LOVE and absolutely NOBODY can convince me otherwise !! Give me Merthur or give me death😂
I love your videos so much, your energy is unmatched and now I kind of want a book trolley
ahaha i’m not saying you should get one... but if you want one 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I also love putting stuff together. I was in a bad mood the other day and got to assemble a desk, it helped a lot. :)
I watched this right after I woke up and tbh this was the most relaxing half hour I've ever spent waking up. Your vibes Mister? Immaculate.
You could put your (monthly) tbr in the top basket and whenever you finish one move it to the lower basket? Idk if you plan on doing monthly wrap ups but that way you'd also have those books handy dandy sorted!
So however you organize your bookshelves, make sure you organize at least twice because organizing is fun.
I'm a sucker for Ikea and books, this video was just what I needed as I set up my BuJo for the week, such a calming voice, could listen to you talk about books all day!
Literally your outfits in every video make me so happy😂
GIVE ME MERTHUR OR GIVE ME DEATH!
(i’m currently rewatching merlin and it’s a great time)
I really enjoyed this "anticipated assembly" video. 😁
I found it... oddly relaxing.😌
I don't even read that much tbh but I love watching you get excited about books ☺️
It was so fun watching this video. I literally was just sitting there organising my next few weeks' TBRs! Yes, I do weekly TBRs during the summer because I finally have time to read to my miserable heart's content! You got me interested in so many of the books you were talking about too!
your vibe is so infectious and uplifting!!! you just make me smile and we have so much in common so just thank u for cheering me up 🌈✨❤️
Legendborn just looks amazing! I've already requested Cemetery Boys from the library, so I can't wait to read it!
they ALL sound amazing!! i hate building ikea forniture but i'm glad you have a good time with it
After watching this video my TBR list as grown. Thanks!
Ohh I loved Criers War so much. I cant wait for the next one! Probably my fave 2019 book.
"we don't stan quidditch anymore. we stan blazewrath games." yes, i love this. i'm gonna read blazewrath~ this sounds amazing.
You mentioned so many good books, but also some I hadn't heard of yet! Also I get the therapeutic feeling when building Ikea furniture, except when I had to build my Wardrobe in the August heat last year. I wanted to chuck it out the window haha.
I am literally petrified of reading A Torch Against The Night because book one wrecked me and I know more pain is to come. But it must happen soon before the last one comes out, going to reread book one and just devour them all. It shall destroy our souls Joel (also love the cart!!)
You’ve got this Ruby! ATATN was emotional but I also loved it so much
Can you please do a bookshelf tour?? So excited to see what kind of books you like to read!!
YESSS A Sky Beyond the Storm is one of my most anticipated reads for this year!!
Merthur was my shit! All these books seem amazing - some of them are already on my wishlist/tbr haha
This video was so relaxing!
Eee I’m so glad! And Merthur is AMAZING
AHH, watching vids like this is SO dangerous for my already alarming TBR 😭😂🙈
Also, YOU HAVE AN ARC OF CEMETERY BOYS??? SO JEALOUS OHMIGOSH
Your energy is such a vibe and I am obsessed💜💜💜👌✌

YES! I totally agree with you!
discovered your channel a couple weeks ago... loving it
twinning!! just went to ikea today and got some shelves and a cart haha (and i've been catching up on your vids while building them lol)
Clicked the video bc your style was on point, stayed and subscribed for your lovely personality and book recommendations! ✨
The pain of being Swedish and hearing everyone mispronounce everything for your whole life 😂
i'm so sorry 😭😭
Det skadar min själ varje gång
@@samuelm2989 hahah samma här
that made me laugh! Ikea should put the pronunciation on their labels 👍 like for ALEX drawers it would say ALEX (ah-lex)
We just did alphabetical after a disastrous experiement. While not the most aesthetic, it's so satisfying to know exactly where to look on the shelves for the book you've got in mind!
Bethany
I love how u talk abt books and edit ur videos
2 videos in a week?? we are BLESSED!! also just wondering, does ikea in the UK have food courts? the ones in the states are known for their meatballs and cinnamon rolls LMAO i'm so excited for you to read these violent delights!! it was a phenomenal read 😍
probably the most iconic part of the video 20:41
Lol you have an energetic personality 😂😂 love your energy on camera. Definitely need to do a bookshelf tour
ahaha it’s definitely going to happen sooner or later!
I added so many of these books to my tbr! They all sound so good!!😍
You posted a video on my birthday, what a lovely gift ❤️
ahhh happy birthday!!!

omg Daevavlog, that's actually iconic. i might use that
I'm so excited for Legendborn! I will ready every King Arthur retelling 😂
everyone is raving about your BEAUTIFUL shirt but your sword earring just makes everything better🤩 I can’t wait for A Sky Beyond The Storm OH GOD what will happen what will happen
it’s going to destroy our souls, that’s what’s going to happen

i'm also super excited for iron heart (you need to read crier's war asap, it was really great!!) and these violent delights - i keep hearing amazing things about it ^^
First video of yours I watched and I instant subscribed ❤️
So excited about the Puertorrican charcater, we don’t get represented often in YA novels unless its about the diaspora in the US.
I have one of those carts! I’m thinking of putting my the books I know I’m going to read next on the top shelf, my library books on the middle shelf, but I’m not sure what to do with the bottom shelf yet :)
I'm just gonna say it, you're a fashion icon. Please do some matching book covers to outfits so I can fangirl!
omg i will totally do this
Some great recommendations!! And you mentioned my most anticipated read Where Dreams Descend 😍💙
omg yessss
My most anticipated read for October is Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. I am hoping that the release will not be delayed again.
