I know the feeling, I recently reorganized my home library and keep just looking inside to see how good everything looks (after a big unhaul). Especially before bed, I take a peek inside and get that proud and happy book feeling!
Aww I did that when I came home from work before, I just popped my head in to look at it. Loved it! Also congrats on reorganising your home library recently too, I know how much of a challenge it can be haha
Your new library looks lovely. You have so much more space. The echo is definitely better at the end, but a rug might help with that too. Just to let you know, I noticed you have The Once and Future Witches on your YA shelf, but Alix E Harrow's books are adult, so that might give you a little extra space on your YA shelves :)
The satisfaction of watching those shelves fill up 🤤 Library looking 🔥 I loved the "oddly sized paperbacks" shelf. I thrive on uneven shelves, if I have too many books in a row that are the same dimensions I have to purposefully disrupt them 👹
For the echo: As you said a rug helps and just textiles in general, so curtains (that would really help!), armchair, pillows and so on 🙂 So envious of all that space for all those amazing books 😍
1:21 😂😂😂😂 I never doubted you would have enough books to fill all that! And yay if you don't nothing more satisfying then space on a bookshelf (satisfying or dangerous 🤔)
I love the way you set it up. Today was very nice, because a large group of my friends and I got together at a local park and hung out for about two hours, just chatting and hanging out!
Rugs on the floor (if it’s not carpeted) and you can also hang rugs on the walls and it really helps with echo! They also make sound foam that you can put on the walls, it doesn’t look very pretty but it’s effective
Looking lovely, well done. And 5 hours for the the majority of the work in a room is really good timing. I am jealous you can reach your top shelves - I need a step!! A lovely space. Pictures on the wall, rug on the floor (towels until you get one) and curtains will take the echo off. Have fun.
I love your new library, now I want to reorganize mine too😅 Since you have so much space till the ceiling: IKEA sells top shelves for the Billy bookcases. That way you could have 7 rows on the white shelves and stack something on top😊
I absolutely love book organizing videos and your shelves are beautiful. I much prefer my books to be in order of height with series always together over anything else. This has made it hard when it comes to book series with mismatched editions and in my latest decision when I reorganized my shelf earlier today. I decided I wanted one of my bookcases to be very colorful so I did my sprayed and stenciled books edge side out (iin height order not Rainbow order) on the top and bottom shelves. Then for the middle shelf I took the large majority of my LGBTQIA+ books and put them in Rainbow order. There are hardbacks and paperbacks of different sizes all mixed together, but it has still become my favorite shelf.
I love it. It looks like you have much more room in this new place for your shelves. You could also get some half bookshelves to go in front of the windows later in if you need more space for books. There’s a lot of potential in there. You did that so fast considering the amount of books you have. Good thing you did an unhaul before you moved
carpets help great with echo! also I saw this weird hack online where you can staple a towel to a canvas and hang it on the wall and it helps echo so much (plus is super cheap)
Just binge watching your posts and thank you I’ve just reorganised my shelves as your issues are now mine love you for creating this monster with ocd now lol 😂xxx
You look so happy! 😁😁 It's so lovely to see you in your new place and your shelves look amazing. I also do size, then A-Z. Rainbow shelves look beautiful but I just can't do it 🤦♀️
It looks fab! Now you have nice high ceilings you could treat yourself to the extra shelf add ons for the Billy bookshelves which add a whole extra shelf on the top of your bookshelves! Just trying to make sure you have the space for your ever growing collection.
The echo will definitely fade once you get more stuff into the room and get it decorated. A rug will absolutely help, it will absorb some of the sound and make it less echo-y. I love your shelves, and I can't wait to see what else you get for your library room. Definitely giving me library goals.
This is AMAZING have a wonderful time with the finishing touches. Work of art and SO satisfying to watch it come together. I have massive library envy now!
It's so satisfying to reorganize bookshelves! I just redid mine and I am obsessed with how they look. Yours are absolutely stunning, they turned out perfect!
Your library looks fantastic Gav, and I'm impressed with you doing all of that in this weather! I got a couple of new bookshelves recently and I'm procrastinating rearranging all my books because it's just. too. hot.
The shelves look amazing! My day is amazing because this is the first full day of my favorite boy band being back together. I'm just hyped for everything right now
I am going to have to be doing this in a couple of months if estate agents get back to me. Looking forwards to moving when it eventually happens but at the same time having to sort my shelves out and buy new shelves as mine are falling apart and I don't think they will make the journey in one piece.
There is just something I love about watching a bookshelf organization video! Your shelves look great!! Can’t wait to see what else you do with your library. =)
My day’s going great. I woke up and yours is the first video I’ve watched. Can’t wait to see your library finished! My shelves are a mess atm and it’s annoying me so much.
for the odd sized adult paperbacks: though it wont help with the verticaliproblems, i tend to pull my read books forwards to the spine of the widest book if that makes sense? like I have the dan&phil book on the same shelf as the descendants books but i just lined up all the spines with the dan&phil book because of its width.
Amazing space! I am an interior designer in the US, and I typically use rugs (wool is best) and curtains (velvet or wool) to start reducing echos in rooms. If you want more noise reduction and can attach stuff to your walls, they also make some lovely modular acoustic panels that you can add above your bookshelves or on any bare walls.
Your shelves look amazing and so satisfying to see it all come together! Also I love that I'm not the only one who is overly particular about book organisation 😭
I love it and excited for more. I am jealous because I need a library room or just move everything out of my closet and turn it into a mini reading room. I don't the difference sometimes between YA and adult, but I am a stickler where it has to be alphabetized by the author's surname, then by the title of the book (a, an, the don't count if it is the first word of the title) unless it's a series which then goes in chronological order. I like how everyone reorganizes their shelves differently. I am happy for you and it looks cozy.
You know I’m moving soon and watching this made me so excited yet so stressed for having to organize the bookshelves 😂. …. I may just do a me and just haphazardly put books any where because i know I don’t have your dedication because those shelves are 😻😻
Looking amazing! 😍 You got me into middlegrades and I am so thankfull for all the whimsical! I would love a bookshelf tour, because I am not poor enough. 😅❤️
just to see the happiness and seeing you so excited the library looks amazing i am so jealous but also of your height. me being a shortarse needs steps to get to the top shelves of my bookcase darn it. house tour next your lighting is to die for
This is looking fabulous so far Gav, I feel your pain on the strange size and shape of some of your paperbacks, this is a huge bug in my bookshelf too xx
Perfect timing got this video! I'm gonna be moving into my new place, hopefully next week and I'm finally gonna have a whole room to dedicate as my library with built in shelves! But I'm still trying to figure out how I want to organize it, lol. I kind of want to do it by theme/genre, then A-Z within that, but I'm not sure. As for the weird sized paperbacks on the adult shelf, if they bug you too much, you could always move those and put them after the normal sized ones, that way they will be towards the bottom and less noticeable.

@@GavinReadsItAll if you haven't already been told this, Malice is also Adult not YA.
@@GavinReadsItAll Hard to keep them all straight, it seems so arbitrary a lot of the time!
The satisfaction of watching those shelves fill up 🤤 Library looking 🔥
I loved the "oddly sized paperbacks" shelf. I thrive on uneven shelves, if I have too many books in a row that are the same dimensions I have to purposefully disrupt them 👹
Teach me how to love oddly sized paperbacks please 😭
This room was built to be a library with how perfectly the shelves fit!
For the echo: As you said a rug helps and just textiles in general, so curtains (that would really help!), armchair, pillows and so on 🙂 So envious of all that space for all those amazing books 😍
Thanks for the tips, and also thank you for the kind words 🥰
“Hello 😏” I’m deceased Gavin 🤣 I’m watching this in my new little reading nook with my new reading chair and I’m a little envious of those shelves!
I’m envious of your reading nook and new reading chair! 😍
The shelves look great!! A huge congrats on the move, what a big step!! :)
Thank you so much!
That room is literal library goals!!
YESSSSS. The fabulous content. The adorable intro. The poplin’ shirt 👚❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video! It turns out beautiful and very pleasant to see. ❤❤❤
Looks so good! Maybe you can use the extra space in your little shelf for your monthly Play your tbr right books? Congrats on the new place!
I love your new library, now I want to reorganize mine too😅 Since you have so much space till the ceiling: IKEA sells top shelves for the Billy bookcases. That way you could have 7 rows on the white shelves and stack something on top😊
This will be me in a couple months. Moving is great...until you have to pack and unpack. :) Everything looks great!!
watching this as i work!! so calming!
omg that hello just killed me! you are a star, made my day
Haha I almost cut it from the video too, glad I kept it 😂
I would get a rug and maybe a reading chair. Love your Collection of books

nothing better than staring at a newly organized bookshelf ahhh
You are verrückt and I love it xD your new library is a dream!! The MG shelves... aww, soooo beautiful! 📚♥️
Bloody loved this. Looks soooo good, and I'm obsessed with the size of your library 😍😍 beautiful 🥰
OBSESSED with how the middlegrade shelves turned out!!
Your shelves look amazing.
Congratulations on your new place! You should get textiles to absorb the sound, rugs, curtains, even a couch and foam are great options!
Just binge watching your posts and thank you I’ve just reorganised my shelves as your issues are now mine love you for creating this monster with ocd now lol 😂xxx
Looks absolutely lovely! So happy for you! 😊
You look so happy! 😁😁 It's so lovely to see you in your new place and your shelves look amazing. I also do size, then A-Z. Rainbow shelves look beautiful but I just can't do it 🤦♀️
Haha same rainbow looks like too much maintenance and splitting series up would hurt me!
*hits play for a seratonin hit
Gosh Gavin it's a beautiful library!
I think this is the 10th time I’ve watched this video, AMAZING and Interesting to watch even tho your just putting books on shelves!!
Aw thanks so much, glad you enjoy it 🥰
Love this, I need some more middle grade recs from you Gavin please and thank you. Want to read more of them..
Your own library?! You’re living the dream and I love that for you! This was so lovely to watch, although I now want to rearrange my shelves 😂🤦🏻♀️
It looks fab! Now you have nice high ceilings you could treat yourself to the extra shelf add ons for the Billy bookshelves which add a whole extra shelf on the top of your bookshelves! Just trying to make sure you have the space for your ever growing collection.
Oh that’s such a fab idea!! I should be going higher and utilising the space, cause those ceilings really are very high haha

Very satisfying, thank you so much!

My day’s going great. I woke up and yours is the first video I’ve watched. Can’t wait to see your library finished! My shelves are a mess atm and it’s annoying me so much.
Aw glad your day is going great!
Having a lot of books is great. But staring at them all when they are in a pile on the floor can be a bit overwhelming 🌻
Still very light at 7.30pm that is going to be a great room for reading until late! The shelves look fabulous!
It’s gonna help with filming for sure! Until winter hits haha
They look amazing! 🖤
So happy you got your own space :) having your own place is so great and glad you have a nice room for your library!!

Haha I may need ladders to get the books back down Tracey, they're far too high for me too haha
Bookshelf organization videos are my favorite!! I just got some new shelves so I’m still trying to figure out how to tackle it all 😅😂
It's so amazing when you get those first books on, and then the end product, so worth it 👌
This is looking fabulous so far Gav, I feel your pain on the strange size and shape of some of your paperbacks, this is a huge bug in my bookshelf too xx
I dunno how we can solve the weird paperback sizes situation, but aw thanks so much Claire xx
I’ve seen at least one Edge Chronicles book. Subbed for good taste.
Gavin your library looks awesome! Love how you have set up some of the books like a bookstore :)
Thank you, it’s like being at work haha
