When I'm old, I wanna live in a large house with a custom made room JUST for a library, with a fireplace, hundreds of shelves, and maybe even a top floor. haha, it's kinda ridiculous, but I don't care. When I'm retired, I'm just going to sit in that room with my books, paints, sketches, and novels of my own and just relax. xD
Omg yesss, also I had a question about middle grade so I’m 14 and I’m really intrigued by some middle grades. Do you think I am too old to try them out?
That Chronicles of Narnia though! Love it, I'm making it my mission to find one, it has the most gorgeous cover and now every other edition pales in comparison so I won't buy the books unless I find this edition haha
I SCREAMED. THE SWEEP SERIES IS ONE OF MY FAVES and I only discovered it last year. Super super late but quickly became one of my favorites after binge listening to the audiobooks. I still need to finish the series so I’m trying to own the bind ups. Love them!
Omg nobody ever talks about pillars of the earth! I read that book when I was 16 also, read it in a manner of a weekend. Had no clue what I was getting into and to this day it's still one of my all time favorite books! I re-read again a few years ago when I was 25.... And let's just say that I would not have allowed my 16 yr old self to have read this lol it's so big that there were so many parts I had completely forgotten about so it was as if reading it for the first time again. Also this book gave us Eddie redmayne which will always be a wonderful thing! Lol
I think we have two books in common 😂 i haven’t even heard of some of these. I really need to get back into reading, been in a bit of a book slump lately. I kept expecting to see my favorite book of all time, The Outsiders, on your middle age shelf seeing as its a school staple/required reading for many schools and i.m.o. just a classic book, but alas it was not. These bookshelves are such a mood. 😍
Your bookshelves/library are beautiful. I have 3 children, so I have bought a lot of children's books in the past 8 years - we get monthly Scholastic fliers from the school, plus the book fair and I usually check out the kids section at any bookstore. So many of the books I want just for the art and I am so drawn to some of the children's books because they are just so beautiful!
WHEW, ok, now that I’m over being rendered SPEECHLESS by that intro (❤️😱😭) we’ve always known this was gonna be an aesthetic video straight out of a fairytale, but your passions and enthusiasm is INFECTIOUS! Loved hearing you hush about all your favorite books, this made my heart so happy😄
I worked my way through the video a bookcase at a time over the course of several days. I was surprised how many titles I hadn't heard of before, many were added to my TBR list. We share a lot of favorites. And the bookcases themselves were beautiful. Thanks!
YESSSS so agree with the Wicked Deep, and it was the first book I read for enjoyment after I finished Uni and it got me back into reading! The taste in this video is IMPECCABLE!
Oh my goodness this was amazing, you really know how to tell a story and make everything so warm and magical. Also those collectors/special edition books are beautiful and so special.
all the tabs in Circe!! ahhhh I'm doing my dissertation on Circe at the moment (and A Thousand Ships - would HIGHLY recommend if you love Circe!) so I feel ya on wanting to gush about it
I loved your first bookcase with the classics and special books from your family. I have books like that too. They are precious. I love plays and I became very intrigued about the play Alice and Peter especially since one of my favorite theater actors was in the play, Judi Dench, I marked it to buy. Thank you.
Video #104 and I loved the picture books and middle grade, but really I enjoyed the whole video. I can't believe I made it to the end of the video. I thought I was gonna give up and do something else, but here I am! Can't wait for another one of these. I would love for you to do a picture book haul and read a bunch of them in 24 hours or something like that, then talk about how you liked each book. Also, now I have a few of your picture books waiting to be bought on Amazon. I just need the money to make it happen! I'm on a book-buying ban this year, so the book-buying will come again in January. Thanks for making this video and posting it. I loved every second of it!!
I would love to see your upstairs bookshelf about writing craft books. As a fellow aspiring writer, I love seeing what people read to hone their craft! Great video.
This is incredible. So far this is the only personal library I've seen in one of these bookshelf tours that surpasses mine. The dark shelves, ladder, arrangement of books - amazingly done. Jealous!
I know this was posted a long time ago, but I just found your channel today. And as I'm watching this video it reminded me when I was 17 I used to want to be accidentally locked inside of a library overnight. It was kind of a silly thought, but I was a bit of a bookworm in my teenage years as it was my escape. I wrote this amazing (or at least what I thought was amazing) romance novel that summer. It was about 300 pages long. One day my mom decided to go through my room and found it and she threw it in the fireplace. That was the last time I ever wrote a book but I still love reading them just as much. Thanks for the book review, and I really love the fact that you read all kinds of books and not just one type.
What a beautiful home library! This is a dream I have since I was very little, to have a beautiful library just like yours! 💜 also everytime you shout out school for good and evil I feel myself living again!
Omg so this is basically my dream library with all of my favourite books plus my TBR plus sooo many books I've never encountered before but look and sound absolutely amazing! The dream😍 I'd love to think this was my bookshelf in some alternate universe☺️
I always wanted to be a librarian but I’m scared that I won’t get a job after college. So I choose teaching instead. It’s hard to choose what I love. Also your library is amazing. I hope to have something like that one day
The Alan Bradley mystery series you mentioned is one of my favourite series ever. However, I did read them as a kid not knowing they were adult literature haha
I own and have read Pan’s Labyrinth. I also have the movie, which came first. The author of the script is also on the book. The book is just as violent and scary, but it’s just as equally amazing.
I am SO jealous of your bookcases and book collection! You have some real treasures. I totally agree about finding books at thrift stores, that’s one of my favorite places to buy books.
This is only the 3rd video of yours I have watched (found you on Friday) and I can tell I'm going to enjoy your channel. We have similar tastes for sure! I wrote down 15 books you mentioned that look like I would enjoy! I love the childrens' books you have. I love going to Barnes & Noble and going to the picture books just for some nostalgia!
That’s so nice of you to say thank you!! And I’m so glad you like looking at picture books too- you’re right it’s very nostalgic!! I think they’re like works of art 😊❤️
Your Library is amazing! I enjoyed seeing your Rare books section, Harry Potter shelf as well as the Adult and Middle Grade sections. I really want a ladder some day when I can hopefully have my dream personal Library built :D .
What an epic tour! My favorite bookcase was the YA. We have a lot of favorites in common there - A Little Something Different, Love & Gelato, The Wicked Deep
7:40 I'm really close with my grandparents too, but they are, thankfully, still alive. My grandma has already specified some things that I will receive when they pass. One of them is a one-of-a-kind grandfather clock; a sample that never went into production. My grandpa used to be the VP of manufacturing at Howard Miller, so he has a few one-of-a-kind clocks. Everything I have from them already means so much to me, but I know they will become more valuable when they are no longer here. I hope everyone has something they can remember their grandparents by, because it will be one of your most valued possessions.
Nice tour and great presence that draws in viewers and potential readers looking for books and ideas for storing novels. As a composer of original music themes for book trailers about comics that are performed on the guitar, I really like seeing commentary like yours since you give a unique take on your life surrounding reading. That's very inspiring to musicians like me who perform original music for stories that complement stories and represent excitement for characters. Nice summaries on stories and like your excitement for them and their authors!
Anyone who is looking for a Middle Grade book, I highly highly highly recommend the Land Of Stories series, trust me, every chapter just keeps giving surprises and it keeps getting better
Your shelves are so nice! I love the Rare and special editions shelf so much! The ladder is also super nice! I've been wanting to buy a TBR cart for a while now, I think I just need to give in and buy one! I am already running out of room on my current shelves.
Absolutely loved your tour! The shelves are gorgeous and a refreshing change from so many copy-paste shelves with same books in other booktube tours. And so lovely to know you've turned your passion for books into a profession aswell
I pretty much grew up in a library and my wife and I also took our kids to Borders and Barnes, and our oldest daughter worked in the local library since she was 14, so we’re a book-collecting family... it’s a sickness.
Amazing book tour! I love the bookshelves you have as well as the selection of books. I enjoy reading from nearly every genre, but middle grade and pictures books have been a long time favorite of mine, so it was nice to see those included in your tour. Great video!! 😀 📚
your shelves are absolutely stunning. Last year I found a 100 year old copy of the odyssey at a used book store and its one of my most prized possessions!
Your library is such a goal!!! Thank you for all the recommendations, I loved this video, it was like chatting with a friend! Unpretentious and relaxed. Absolutely love your videos!!
I used to own the complete poetry of Robert Browning published in 1895, which was 5 years, or so, after he died. I hated to loose that book. 😢 Very nice collection. I enjoyed seeing all the books you have. Books should be cherished.
I appreciate the old books and bibles in your collection. Most tours on here feature only young adult fiction or adult modern fiction. I may do a tour of my home library one day.
Omg! Am so glad I found you. Growing up I felt so "odd" because I loved books. I work in Education now, and always have a book am working on. Always dreamt of having my own library, and now I have a home with a Growing book collection in my office/guestroom. I have about 300 books. Those bookshelves with ladder are so dreamy. I blame the Beauty and The Beast, the first book my mom bought me as a child. 😅
When I'm old, I wanna live in a large house with a custom made room JUST for a library, with a fireplace, hundreds of shelves, and maybe even a top floor. haha, it's kinda ridiculous, but I don't care. When I'm retired, I'm just going to sit in that room with my books, paints, sketches, and novels of my own and just relax. xD
It's not ridiculous because I want the same thing too hahaha
Sounds nice. Good luck. I hope you get that one day. :)
Ho me too it's really a dream
Same here
that is literally my goal in life omg, to have a retired life of practically living in my own two floor library and just reading and sketching
I want a bookshelf with a ladder SO BAD
Me too so sad that i don,t have one
BRO I SAW THIS AND NOW IM GOOGLING BOOKCASES WITH SLIDING LADDERS BC I WANT ONE WITH A LADDER THAT ROLLS SO BADLY freaking goals right here
You can climb to the top bunk with me hot stuff 😏
sophistikated I believe they have this set of bookcases currently on sale at Costco. Just search bookcase on Costco’s website.
bumzilla 85 wtf
take a shot every time she says "this is my favorite book of all time".
Listen I can’t help it I LOVE BOOKS OK 😭😭😭
I wonder how wonderful it must be to be surrounded by great books
I don’t know if I should hate you out of jealousy or kindly ask you to let me climb the ladder and feel like Bell from beauty and the beast...
Lyla belle*
The evil eye is real
I shouldn't have watched this I added so much to my TBR
the wood your bookshelves are made out of is so aesthetically pleasing. I could stare at it all day
Your bookshelf tour is an hour long? Do you live in the library from Beauty and the Beast???? ;)
That's wat I was thinking omg
You are Belle! I have decided haha 💛
Lol I just commented that , she really is Belle and her books💜
No lmao
I wonder. Where is your beast?😊
The og bookworm. :) I love belle
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO 🙏 XOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXO LOVE YOU 😘
The fact that this is exactly 1 hour pleases me. Also, I love your aesthetic
Its actually 59:59
I see you mockingjay pfp
One WHOLE hour of Alexandra and books?
*YES PLEASE!!!*
I haven't just been waiting for this for 84 years, I've been waiting for this my entire life ♥️
I would love to see an updated bookshelf tour with all the books that you have added to your collection since this video was filmed!
yes me too! i just found her channel and love it, but would love to see a newer one!
Your library is the most beautiful thing ever and I love how they all have stories and all mean so much to you 🥰😭😍
Also I feel honoured that I have gifted you books in your beautiful collection, like the honour is all mine, I feel like I've achieved something
Is it just me or middle grade has THE nicest covers, I went into indigo and middle grade was just beautifullll
Omg yesss, also I had a question about middle grade so I’m 14 and I’m really intrigued by some middle grades. Do you think I am too old to try them out?
@@aizahsadiq2952 Not at alll never too old to read a book. Im 18 and i still read a lot of middle grade its really fun to, too.
@@alizaa7550 Omg thank you for replying, I'll keep that in mind :)
I’m in library school and I’m social distancing with two of my classmates. Totally love seeing a librarian booktuber.
There’s a library SCHOOL???
Your miniature library is honestly goals, I hope to have a beautiful set of bookshelves and books one day 📚✨
Your the dream book addict. The one with a massive private library with a ladder. Love your shelves. Amazing video!
I was in a slight reading slump and watching this put me back in the mood to read. Especially hearing about how much you love to read!
The only book shelf tour that I watched completely to the end! And I enjoyed it sooo much!😍
That Chronicles of Narnia though! Love it, I'm making it my mission to find one, it has the most gorgeous cover and now every other edition pales in comparison so I won't buy the books unless I find this edition haha
Same!!!😩
I SCREAMED. THE SWEEP SERIES IS ONE OF MY FAVES and I only discovered it last year. Super super late but quickly became one of my favorites after binge listening to the audiobooks. I still need to finish the series so I’m trying to own the bind ups. Love them!

Whoa those first antique bookcases are absolutely AMAZING!
Agree I want them to
MY FAVOURITE BOOKCASE IS MIDDLE GRADE!! This entire video was a gift. You are a gift. You have brought honour to us all. Thank YOU!!
So happy that someone else deeply appreciates Ocean at the End of the Lane!! I'm inspired to go back and annotate now lol
I’m completely blown away by your bookshelves and collections 💕🥰
I think we have two books in common 😂 i haven’t even heard of some of these. I really need to get back into reading, been in a bit of a book slump lately. I kept expecting to see my favorite book of all time, The Outsiders, on your middle age shelf seeing as its a school staple/required reading for many schools and i.m.o. just a classic book, but alas it was not.

Oh, my goodness, I read Island of the Blue Dolphins when I was a teen and remember loving it.
Your bookshelves/library are beautiful.
I have 3 children, so I have bought a lot of children's books in the past 8 years - we get monthly Scholastic fliers from the school, plus the book fair and I usually check out the kids section at any bookstore. So many of the books I want just for the art and I am so drawn to some of the children's books because they are just so beautiful!
That was the most beautiful bookself tour video I have ever seen... My favorite bookcase is the one with the middle grade books♥️
The editing/little sound effects are insanely nice
Omg thank you ❤️❤️❤️
This thumbnail is ADORABLE! 😍
It was so nice of you to say "Thank you Grampa.." He heard you..
WHEW, ok, now that I’m over being rendered SPEECHLESS by that intro (❤️😱😭) we’ve always known this was gonna be an aesthetic video straight out of a fairytale, but your passions and enthusiasm is INFECTIOUS! Loved hearing you hush about all your favorite books, this made my heart so happy😄
YES to the office tour too please!!
I love your aesthetic!
I’ve never been this envious in my life...what a wonderful collection❤️
I worked my way through the video a bookcase at a time over the course of several days. I was surprised how many titles I hadn't heard of before, many were added to my TBR list. We share a lot of favorites. And the bookcases themselves were beautiful. Thanks!
This would be a dream to have one day in the future!
Wowoowow omg this is a total dream!
YESSSS so agree with the Wicked Deep, and it was the first book I read for enjoyment after I finished Uni and it got me back into reading! The taste in this video is IMPECCABLE!
Oh my goodness this was amazing, you really know how to tell a story and make everything so warm and magical. Also those collectors/special edition books are beautiful and so special.
54 min later and I’m here at the end! Haha! Love you and this video so much Lexi!
all the tabs in Circe!! ahhhh I'm doing my dissertation on Circe at the moment (and A Thousand Ships - would HIGHLY recommend if you love Circe!) so I feel ya on wanting to gush about it
Some Kind of Happiness is an incredible book!! I read it six years ago and still think of it today. 😁I'm hoping to reread soon.
You have so many books....yet I have not seen a shelf dedicated to shadow hunters
Exactly my thought parabatai
I loved your first bookcase with the classics and special books from your family. I have books like that too. They are precious. I love plays and I became very intrigued about the play Alice and Peter especially since one of my favorite theater actors was in the play, Judi Dench, I marked it to buy. Thank you.
your bookshelves are my dream shelves xxxx
Agree if I had her space I would have the same bookcases
1. Your editing is goals 2. Bookshelves are goals 3. You are the sweetest human ! I'm catching up on all the videos I have missed and loving them :)
Video #104 and I loved the picture books and middle grade, but really I enjoyed the whole video. I can't believe I made it to the end of the video. I thought I was gonna give up and do something else, but here I am! Can't wait for another one of these.

OMG I adore your library. When I was growing up I wanted Henry Higgin's library from My Fair Lady. Your library is close.
What a beautiful home library! This is a dream I have since I was very little, to have a beautiful library just like yours! 💜 also everytime you shout out school for good and evil I feel myself living again!
Peter and Alice sounds great! Also, I've just purchased the second book in a pinch of magic!
You have the most calming, beautiful voice! I adore you bookshelves, they're absolutely stunning 🥰
im so surprised i got through an hour long vid. you move at the perfect pace i was entertained the whole time
OMG!!!!! You have the best bookshelf I’ve Ever seen...I LOVE the ladder...It’s Magical 💫💫💫✨I make my Husband watch your videos with me..🥰🥰📚📚📚🥰🥰
Omg so this is basically my dream library with all of my favourite books plus my TBR plus sooo many books I've never encountered before but look and sound absolutely amazing! The dream😍
I'd love to think this was my bookshelf in some alternate universe☺️
You did a great job in displaying the books. Aesthetically pleasing.
Keeper of tge lost Cities is so good glad it's on your TBR
These shelves are beyond beautiful oh my goodness
Oh..my. God. THAT OPENING. THAT HYPE.
I love those Mark Twain books from your grandpa. And all of those special books from family members
I always wanted to be a librarian but I’m scared that I won’t get a job after college. So I choose teaching instead. It’s hard to choose what I love. Also your library is amazing. I hope to have something like that one day
Harry Potter is a "young adult" fantasy but it has a special shelf in a Potterhead's bookshelf. Love it.
So glad to cone across a booktuber who raves about Neil Gaiman! I love his work so much. Found him as a teen and have loved his books ever since
The Alan Bradley mystery series you mentioned is one of my favourite series ever. However, I did read them as a kid not knowing they were adult literature haha
You have my dream library 😍. I loved those vintage books cases and the old and leather bound classics collection ❤️
Your library is amazing! I love your cat! Right as he made an entrance one of my cats who was laying with me noticed and checked out your cat!
This was so relaxing! I absolutely loved it! My favorite bookshelf was probably the middle grade shelf!
Never seen a collection that included A Clockwork Orange on BookTube before, it's my favourite book and that made me so happy.
I own and have read Pan’s Labyrinth. I also have the movie, which came first. The author of the script is also on the book. The book is just as violent and scary, but it’s just as equally amazing.
I am SO jealous of your bookcases and book collection! You have some real treasures. I totally agree about finding books at thrift stores, that’s one of my favorite places to buy books.
Absolutely in love with your book cases! I can't wait to have my own home so I can expand my own library!
i would love to see your writing craft bookscase! authortube followers would love this!
the montage ! your LIBRARY !! YOU !!!
This is only the 3rd video of yours I have watched (found you on Friday) and I can tell I'm going to enjoy your channel. We have similar tastes for sure! I wrote down 15 books you mentioned that look like I would enjoy! I love the childrens' books you have. I love going to Barnes & Noble and going to the picture books just for some nostalgia!
That’s so nice of you to say thank you!! And I’m so glad you like looking at picture books too- you’re right it’s very nostalgic!! I think they’re like works of art 😊❤️
Love this tour! I would love to see how you annotate your books!
TWINS! I love organising in age group! (Can't wait til I get to the middle grade part but I ain't skipping a SECOND of this video)
Your Library is amazing! I enjoyed seeing your Rare books section, Harry Potter shelf as well as the Adult and Middle Grade sections. I really want a ladder some day when I can hopefully have my dream personal Library built :D .
What an epic tour! My favorite bookcase was the YA. We have a lot of favorites in common there - A Little Something Different, Love & Gelato, The Wicked Deep
THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO LEXI! I loved hearing your story at the beginning. ♥️
Ur the first book-tuber how has mentioned Kate Morton books. I love Mortons books it was nice to see someone else who is young and enjoys them
7:40 I'm really close with my grandparents too, but they are, thankfully, still alive. My grandma has already specified some things that I will receive when they pass. One of them is a one-of-a-kind grandfather clock; a sample that never went into production. My grandpa used to be the VP of manufacturing at Howard Miller, so he has a few one-of-a-kind clocks. Everything I have from them already means so much to me, but I know they will become more valuable when they are no longer here. I hope everyone has something they can remember their grandparents by, because it will be one of your most valued possessions.
I’ve watched this video twice now I love your personal library so much
we were liars is one of my faves too
Nice tour and great presence that draws in viewers and potential readers looking for books and ideas for storing novels. As a composer of original music themes for book trailers about comics that are performed on the guitar, I really like seeing commentary like yours since you give a unique take on your life surrounding reading. That's very inspiring to musicians like me who perform original music for stories that complement stories and represent excitement for characters. Nice summaries on stories and like your excitement for them and their authors!
Anyone who is looking for a Middle Grade book, I highly highly highly recommend the Land Of Stories series, trust me, every chapter just keeps giving surprises and it keeps getting better
Your shelves are so nice! I love the Rare and special editions shelf so much! The ladder is also super nice! I've been wanting to buy a TBR cart for a while now, I think I just need to give in and buy one! I am already running out of room on my current shelves.
Absolutely loved your tour! The shelves are gorgeous and a refreshing change from so many copy-paste shelves with same books in other booktube tours. And so lovely to know you've turned your passion for books into a profession aswell
Truly impressive library, not as many classics and poetry as I would have but deeply impressive. Thanks for sharing!
I ADORE your bookshelves and bookcases and all the books on your shelf! And your CAT!
I pretty much grew up in a library and my wife and I also took our kids to Borders and Barnes, and our oldest daughter worked in the local library since she was 14, so we’re a book-collecting family... it’s a sickness.
