    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.

      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 💗

    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!

    • @sarahhansen8004

      I de-rainbowfied last year, it took me so long and I HATED it 😂 I started over immediately. It makes me so happy the way it is. I tend to remember the color of my books spines, it’s not too hard.

    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!

    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. Your shelves are by far one of my favorites! Thanks again for bringing some light into our days with your video

    This has reminded me just how much a reorganization is needed for me and I struggle so hard to figure out how to organize them. I definitely don't have as many, I'd say a little over two shelves of books, but I also need to reorganize my kpop albums which just adds on to my stress. And believe it or not I do enjoy organizing, but I have a very small room, and my book and album shelves are very scattered. So, for me to be able to organize them, not only would I need to move the things in my floor, I'd need to repeatedly crawl over my bed because I have shelves on either side and barely have room to walk around it.
    It will take me multiple days but I'll get it done. I'm just gonna stress while I do it 😅

    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.

  • @cristinagray8

    I’m a fellow color organizer! I’m a visual guy, so when I think of a book I picture it-the color comes to mind before the author or genre, so it’s way easier for me to find stuff 🤷‍♀️ Plus the visual coordination makes my brain feel calm ☺️

    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!!

    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!

    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 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 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.

I got the same Ikea shelves as you because I loved them in your videos and one is for cool toned books while the other is for warm toned books. With one shelf that is for rainbow order graphic novels. It is the most pleasing and calming way for me to organize things. Plus it’s fun to add to my rainbow!

    💚🖤 If i may make a suggestion, you could get 2 cinder blocks and put them on top of your book cases one on each side then put a wood plank across on top of them that would give you a extra shelf. I believe your ceiling is tall enough. I've done that where i don't have enough room for another bookcase 😅

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.

    I just don't understand how anyone can hate someone's shelf?! If it works for a person, that's amazing.
    Rainbow shelves look absolutely amazing. For me, a lover of colours, who receives huge amount of pleasure from looking at colourful rainbow stuff, they sound perfect.
    And! It's also a great exercise for a brain, because I remember which colour is which spine or page edges and it helps me to train my memory.🌈
    Wish you an incredible day and happy reading 🙏
