    i’ve been watching your videos for well over a year now and i can’t tell you how much you’ve wovened gentleness and self compassion into my life. so many skies, trees and birds that would’ve been unnoticed if I didn’t appreciate mundanity in the way you’ve taught me. i love this cozy corner of the internet

    I am a librarian, and everything I've learned says I should organize by author or topic, but I am also autistic and color and size organization makes me happy. Color is definitely a taxonomy that works, and it is interesting to see what books end up as neighbors. I think it is also a way to prevent some of problematic classification systems we see in libraries that marginalize some books, at least for our own personal collections.

    • @allisonpaiges

      I would love to do all my shelves rainbow, but I don’t have enough colourful books! I have got a rainbow kids book shelf though, it’s really cute. The rest of my books are simply sorted by vibes that might not even make sense to anyone else, but it’s till fun to see which books end up as neighbours 💗

    The rainbow bookshelf debacle made me immediately think about the experience being neurodiverse… you do your bookshelf how you wanted and it’s different than everyone else but worked for you … and everyone else says NO WRONG why ick…. And you try to accommodate but it affects your experience and hurts you …. And you’re right, it’s your shelf, your room, your enjoyment. Love love how you set it up, so cozy!

    This is exactly how I felt when I de-rainbowized my one bookshelf at the end of my bed. I'm still looking at the mess until this day and I kinda want to put in rainbow order again. It's not for the aesthetics, it's for the brain and it makes me happy!

    The "floating" book stack is so awesome! I completely agree about other people's bookshelves - what works for other people doesn't have to work for me. Books are lovely to look at no matter how they're arranged. We just need to access our own books according to our own brain system.

  • @Nalastasia

    So relieved that you ultimately decided to put the rainbow shelves back, it's such an iconic staple to your videos and bring back some of that child like wonder we so desperately seek.

    the struggle is real :)) I recently reorganized my bookshelves, but at the end I went with the color and size within the genre. I mean you have to feel cozy and at home and in tune with how your own brain perceives "order and beauty". I too think all books and settings are beautiful!

    I got two more sweatshirts from your latest release. I have NEVER had more people start up conversations with me than I have with the Spoon sweatshirt.
    It’s absolutely wonderful and sparks people to dive in and do more of their own research when I talk about spoon theory. Thank you thank you! It’s not only a great for my learners to know they don’t need to “educate me” and can be real and raw if need be, but it’s helping to intrigue more neurotypicals to ask important questions.
    Loved this video although I haven’t finished it yet. Waiting to fully digest with a good cup of tea tonight, but I needed to pop in and say that what you’re putting out into the universe and YT space is WONDERFUL! Thank you!!

    Awesome video as always, I love watching them while crocheting or drawing and it always brings me joy and coziness.
    I read a small book recently called "The tale of Despereaux", I used to watch the movie as a kid I remember loving it, when I discovered it was originally a book I jumped on it and finished it in a day. It became my favorite cozy book of all time and I strongly recommend it to anyone who's reading this comment and likes this kind of genre.
    Yet I didn't find anybody who knew this story and I'll be thrilled to talk about it with someone or at least share my love for this book ^^

    This video was so validating for me. I have been feeling like I need to rearrange my rainbow/size organized book shelf in my living room because people keep commenting about how hard it must be for me to find specific books, but the thought has always made me feel uncomfortable. Your finished shelves are so soothing to look at, and I'm happy to leave my shelf as it is.

I don't think it would work for me, but it looks so satisfying. (And I mean, who came up with the stupid idea that (private) bookshelves have to be efficient?? Even if I have to spend some time looking for a certain book, that's just more time I spend looking at my books, which will always make me happy.)

    My autistic superpower is keeping the library where I work organized and knowing what book someone needs. I try to channel nerdy, but not spooky creepy. I can walk around once and know if anything is new or out of place. I feel your pleasure but also distress reorganizing. The struggle is real.

    I kept glancing over at my bookshelves while I watched this video trying to think about how I could rearrange them differently to make them more aesthetically pleasing and functional. The double stacking is out of control. I'm a comfort rereader and really need to be able to see what I have on both my read and TBR shelves. I think you've just given me a project for this week!

    I was so happy that you stuck with the rainbow. I sometimes forget book/author names so would be stuck if I had them A-Z, but I can usually remember the colour of the book I am looking for. I think it is good to have mixed organisation though so some rainbowed, some by genre and love the idea of a shelf of favourites. My books are in a mess and I am hoping to get some new shelves this year.

    A bit late to the party, but I'm a library student, but I sort my personal bookshelf based on where I got them from rather than alphabetical order. From there I sort by genre and size, but something in my lizard brain says that the ones from the same places need to stay together! Conventional libraries are meant for other people, but personal collections are meant for you, so organize them however you'd like :)

    I always adore how rainbow bookshelves look! For me and my brain, I can’t quite make it work. I start to get confused and lost a bit and making a departure from my personal system that I’ve had for years freaks me out, haha! I’ve definitely noticed little changes in how my shelves are organized, especially as time has passed, I’ve gotten more books, and I’ve gotten more space to store my books! But yes, I adore rainbow bookshelves but my brain personally gets overwhelmed when I try to do it on my own shelf lol!
    **Note to future me: Don’t let your sister help you organize your shelves. She means well but she’ll put things in places you don’t like and you’ll start hyperventilating 😂😂
