I love that Gavin asked house mate to move out so he could fit more books. LOL I approve. Excellent priorities. I am moving end of month and will have more space for more books. Its awesome.
Gav: "An island is fitting because in One Piece and other books that I like, people are going to island to island" Me mumbling into my breakfast: ...Dick Fight Island... My husband: What?!
A small basket or small foot stool would hide the cords in that little area without blocking your other self. I like your creativity in your library. It’s fun to make the books feel like they’ve come to life with all the details.
Looking great! For the nostalgia nook with the extension cord, maybe a cat bed or a cute draught excluder would make that corner look fun without hiding the nook :)
Ooh for the classics shelf you can get rose string lights to compliment the green foliage. It will add colour and light and the light tends to be more warm and subdued compared to naked bulb lights
Aw, Gavin - it's looking like a real home library space again! I'm so happy that you're getting to move about in your house again and won't feel so trapped. I also adore that you name all the little nooks - that's something I've always done as well! 💕 Thanks for sharing your reorganization project with all of us!
Ahh! This came out perfect timing! I’ve just rearranged my living area as well and was looking for a video to watch while putting all my books back in the bookshelves. Bless you!
It’s a luxury to be able to have a room just for books I think personally. My bedroom has no room for anything else but books and I love seeing them all the time but I do wish I had a room that had bookshelves on all walls, maybe a bookshelf island and a nice fancy leather recliner 😲 one day
@@rlstan963 same. I actually sleep on my books as I have a mattress platform that has shelves on it and as cool as it is I'd love a whole room for just books.
I absolutely love the look of bookshelf islands I don't have nearly enough books to justify one for myself (yet) so I am just vicariously living through people on the internet Also, you seem so fun
Maybe use some poster tape to secure the leaves? It's sticky enough to hold stuff, but it peels off paper without damaging it, so it has a chance of not damaging the leaves.
I CANNOT wait for you to read the danmei books. They tend to be considered "Light Novels" and tend to be marketed alongside manga and have deceptive cover designs that make them look like manga as well. MXTX is one of the best. I assure that Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven's Official Blessing WILL break your heart. But they also have some great humor and awesome characters. Scum Villain is the funniest and the least heartbreaking but not quite as deftly plotted. I believe that was one of the first that MXTX wrote.
My dust allergic ass is sneezing just looking at all that (beautiful) jungle decoration 😂 I’m thinking of changing my bookshelves for ones with glass doors for that reason
@@awpageofabook I really prefer them without, with glass doors they look like a museum/display to me, not a used and alive library (I hope I’m making sense) but allergies rule
Love the look of the place! Sooo fun to have just a whole room of books and it looks fantastic! So, it would probably take more time then you wanna spend, buuuuut you could glue all the leaves together and sort of make a table runner/cloth type situation out of them. It’ll keep them from falling or the cats spiriting them away one by one 😂 I’ve got a mischievous cat myself and I know he’d have a field day hiding them from me.
Was in the middle of reading "wild boy" by Jill Dawson but its hurting my brain, this is a very much needed break. Lots of love Gav and have a wonderful day x
I love your Library, especially having aisles to go down, what a great idea! Yay for having more Library space! I moved back in May and still have most of my books packed away in boxes because I need to get more shelves and rearrange some things, not realizing that I'm terrible at trying to decide which bookshelves I want to get but I'll get there....eventually.... Also, I love the names you chose for parts of your Library!
I am just in awe by your collection 🙀💖 Can you link maybe your video about beat midle grade book. I need some to give as a present and I don't read them....🤔...no except His Dark Materials and Neverending Story I have no to recommend or gift. Thx
I was eagerly waiting for this video to arrive because last year, my bookshelf had a makeover which took several hours so I’m excited to see what you get up to.
Which vampire diaries series are you getting in January? Please can you show your Disney twisted collection and where can you get them? I would love to read them ❤
I'm impressed Gavin.. Your really handy with those tools.. 😆😆. Heartstoppers spot is my favourite.. You really need to read Solitaire, Nick and Charlie are in it a lot and the Fu**in Ben Hope too.. I will say no more..😉😉.
These are my favorite kinds of videos! Love how you set it up. Makes me think about rearranging my library...lol (although I technically don't have enough books to call it a library... yet)
Amazing! Not jealous at all 😂. Just need a comfy armchair and you could put a floor lamp for the armchair in that gap and you'd still be able to see nostalgia nook 😁
Just to enhance your One Piece manga display, for Arc's you have covered - Display the covers of Volume's 21 and 22 together. You will see it once you put them together but it's great for displays!
I see myself in all these "Organizing my Library" videos and I feel like it hits so close to home! I don't know why or how I have such a book obsession, especially physical book obsession but I love them so much!! 🤣😭
Looking at how you've set up and decorated everything and then comparing it to the barren wasteland that is my apartment makes me jealous, lmao It looks really sick though
@@GavinReadsItAll this will be amazing! Just a heads up, the glossary will really come in handy for the genre terminology and each three of mxtx‘s series👀
This was so much fun! :3 Though I am still asking myself, how your decorations and fairy lights are still in their place when you own two cats. :D Mine chew on everything that dangles and they would throw all of the stuff on top of the shelves to the ground. :D I am impressend :D
The energy in this video shows what a good decision it was for you to live on your own again. Now get yourself a confy armchair to snuggle up in while reading in your library!
Revenge of the Allen key! Just a quick tip if anyone has to build something with a lot of Allen key action, you can cut the curved part off and fit it into an electric screwdriver or drill like a drill bit. Definitely saved my hands when I had to put together a table and chairs for my kitchen. Love library re-org videos, so enjoyed this ❤📚
I'm currently sleeping in my library and I never want to leave. I'm fine with slepping on a wonky guest bed for the rest of my life just to be close to my books 😂 but the space problem for new books may get more problematic soon
I'm loving your nicknames for every shelf! "Manga Island", "Graphic Novel Alcove", "Nostalgia Nook". It's just so cute!!
I'm trying to make my library so much more inviting than it used to be, so I am so happy you love the names!
I love that Gavin asked house mate to move out so he could fit more books. LOL I approve. Excellent priorities. I am moving end of month and will have more space for more books. Its awesome.
Gav: "An island is fitting because in One Piece and other books that I like, people are going to island to island"
Me mumbling into my breakfast: ...Dick Fight Island...
My husband: What?!
Hahaha you get me 😂
Now you need to commission a fancy map of your library with all the pretty names!!! Love it all. Thank you!!!
OH NOW THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!
So happy to see Gavin in his Rom-Com Protagonist Era doing a Clearing up and Room Makeover Montage.
“Nostalgia Nook” is the cutest name for a bookshelf ever 🥰
I want to get wooden signs or something with all the names on, but that might be too much 😂
A small basket or small foot stool would hide the cords in that little area without blocking your other self. I like your creativity in your library. It’s fun to make the books feel like they’ve come to life with all the details.
Love love love it.😍 Your middle grade galley is still the most beautiful part. No such thing as too many fairy lights so go for it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I say put lights on your classic shelf and put those flickering lights around the pirates chest on top. ♥️
your library fills me with so much joy! if my shelves looked like that i don’t think i’d ever leave
Aww thanks, well my library is yours too ❤
Would look so cute to have a rug and a bean bag type of chair where you film! I love how it turned out 🥰
Looking great! For the nostalgia nook with the extension cord, maybe a cat bed or a cute draught excluder would make that corner look fun without hiding the nook :)
Ooh for the classics shelf you can get rose string lights to compliment the green foliage. It will add colour and light and the light tends to be more warm and subdued compared to naked bulb lights
Love the manga island decor, definitely looks like a treasure chest in a jungle! You're so creative!
Aww thank you, as soon as I saw the chest I knew what had to happen haha
Aw, Gavin - it's looking like a real home library space again! I'm so happy that you're getting to move about in your house again and won't feel so trapped.

Ahh! This came out perfect timing! I’ve just rearranged my living area as well and was looking for a video to watch while putting all my books back in the bookshelves. Bless you!
I just knew you needed the company 🥰
You sound so much better - so much lighter. I’m so happy you have your library back and your bedroom back. The room is looking amazing! ✨❤️🐈⬛🐈⬛
I love this type of video so much, it looks AMAZING!! Can’t wait for the bookshelf tour next year!
9:17 Manga Island looks awesome! It’s beautifully styled. The cutest part was seeing you play with one of the kids while applying the leaves.
Gavin, you have a great eye! I love the leaves with the pirate chest! 🖤 So happy that you have your space back!
I love it!
Sadly i do not have the room for this in my home, but i am vicariously living it through you😊
So happy you got your library back to being a library! The names for the sections are so good! 😊
You dancing around is everything. I bet you are super fun at clubs. The library looks great! Can't wait to see the new complete tour next month!
The book tour is gonna be epic! And hehe I would like to think I'm fun in clubs, we will have to go out clubbing some time to test the theory out 👀
@@GavinReadsItAll that would be a blast! If I am every in England we will make that happen!
Super cool looking. And in my opinion, you can never have too many lights.
I'm thinking of having some draping from one side of the room to the other 🙈
Love how it turned out! You could call the other shelf in the middle "Collection Section" or "Series Square" so it could encompass MG through Adult
Series Square!!! That’s such a great idea, I think that’s the one!
Wow what a library ❤you are so lucky
As cool as sleeping amongst books is, it's nice to have a whole space to itself.
As someone who sleeps amongst books, I would love my own separate library room
Yeah it became too much to sleep in it AND do all my reading and work in it too
It’s a luxury to be able to have a room just for books I think personally. My bedroom has no room for anything else but books and I love seeing them all the time but I do wish I had a room that had bookshelves on all walls, maybe a bookshelf island and a nice fancy leather recliner 😲 one day
@@rlstan963 you’ll get there ❤️
@@rlstan963 same. I actually sleep on my books as I have a mattress platform that has shelves on it and as cool as it is I'd love a whole room for just books.
There are some fake skinny candles and candle holders maybe you should check them out for the classics nook!

Oh thanks so much, I never even thought of that!
I love the Rugrats hoodie! It’s so cute 👏🏽
I love the library book concept I am trying to set up my own library for my apartment right now, I am saving up for some nice book cases
Best of luck with the library journey, you're gonna make it look amazing!
Love your library
This is so cute!!! Love the aesthetic
The library is free of bed!!! Yay!!!
You already sound much better.
Aw thanks Alex 🥰

I love your library room ✨📚
Love the island, and the library looks awesome.
I mean I’m here anyway, but I am SO here for your manga era 👏🏼
It's going to be my most epic era, I can just feel it!
Your library a dream! 💙
love the new island bookshelf and the amazingly cute Rugrats hoodie! 🏴☠☠🥬
Man, what a cathartic video
I just redid one of my bookshelves and it makes you just feel so good to arrange and display books. At least it does for me
100% agree!
I'm loving your manga era!!!!
I'm loving it too, how much happier I feel about manga, it's been a revelation!!
This is so awesome! So happy for you! :D

Picking which bookshelves to get is a huge decision so I totally get it! Take your time and enjoy the journey of building your home library 🥰
@@GavinReadsItAll It is indeed. Taking my time and enjoying the journey of building my Library sounds like a great plan!

I love it!
Aahhh I see witch hat atelier!! Hope we get to see your thoughts in a vlog 😁
Bro, your bookshelves are a work of art!! Im just gonna steal all of it if you don’t mind🙏
Love that you have your reading room back 😍 It is definitely much nicer to have a separate room for that
I love the new setup! 😍🍄📚
This was super fun :)
Looks great! Love the shelf names!
Love the cute names, where are your book stands coming from? I need some, my library is getting built next week 😊
Love it
your library room is absolute goals, it looks so good!!
Thanks so much 🥰
Your library looks fantastic 😍
Which vampire diaries series are you getting in January? Please can you show your Disney twisted collection and where can you get them? I would love to read them ❤
@ how to train your Gavin just curious which books are your favorites? Enjoyed your excitement over your updated space ❤
It's looking great! How many books have you read this year!? I'm on track to complete my 100 book goal.
It's so beautiful and cosy!
Thanks Chloe 🥰
my brain is calling that one side of you shelf with bridgerton "Special Edition Square" 😁😁🤣🤣
Loving the library space ❤
It's a big room fortunately 😂
I'm impressed Gavin.. Your really handy with those tools.. 😆😆. Heartstoppers spot is my favourite.. You really need to read Solitaire, Nick and Charlie are in it a lot and the Fu**in Ben Hope too.. I will say no more..😉😉.
UUUGGGHHH f*cking Ben!!! But haha thanks so much 🥰
Ahh its so lovely seeing you this happy again! Your library looks amazing 👌🏻
Aww thanks so much, what a wonder this is doing on my mental health ❤
I love your library! So glad you don't have to sleep in there anymore. Someday I hope to have a library of my own. #Dreams
These are my favorite kinds of videos! Love how you set it up. Makes me think about rearranging my library...lol (although I technically don't have enough books to call it a library... yet)
You can't have too little books to have your own library, so I will call yours a library for you 😊
@@GavinReadsItAll Oh my gosh, you are too sweet. 💖 This is why you are my favorite.
This is awesome!
Thanks so much 😭
I like your Library!
Thank you!

I wouldn’t do more string lights. Maybe bigger fake candles 🤔
A light up skull for manga island.
You could call the bookshelf with your special editions: special edition square (even tho it’s not a square)
SPECIAL EDITION SQUARE!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Lol, I was thinking Posh Garden since it's under the wimsy garden... but that's not bad, either!!!
I love your library 📚 I made my closet into a library but yours is fab 😊
Omg a closet library?? That sounds magical 😍
Side note when one of my kids movies out I’m creating a library in my house!!

Ahh my hands are still stinging because of it haha thanks for the tip!
@@GavinReadsItAll wish I could have saved you before. Been there many times :-)
Can you link to the cube storage you bought at IKEA?
They're called "Kallax" in ikea
Loved this video - I'm doing a cat puzzle so this was great to have on next to my puzzle. 😻
Ooo a cat puzzle? Love that!
love it.
Thanks!
@@GavinReadsItAll You're welcome. 😊😊
I just got new bookshelves and spent yesterday decorating them, and it was so rewarding! Admittedly though, mine have more legos than books. 😅
Lego??? I love Lego!! Decorating shelves is so much fun!
"nope" cracked me up
The pure joy I experienced at seeing My Hero on your shelves is unmatched!
Also, you could put a cat bed over the extension cord?
@@Feralcat649 good idea!
@@Feralcat649 Oooo a cat bed is a great idea! Especially since the cats will hopefully want to be in that instead of on top of my jungle 😂
I'm currently sleeping in my library and I never want to leave. I'm fine with slepping on a wonky guest bed for the rest of my life just to be close to my books 😂 but the space problem for new books may get more problematic soon
It looks great! I wish so badly that I had a library. My books are spread out throughout my house 😥
I love that though!
