    Library tour! jack you can put some of the overflow of books in the Narnia bookcase and rotate them into the appropriate shelf when you need too (like potentially getting rid of books you don't like or know you won't ever get around to) so there aren't so many books on the floor!

  • @THEWLLAS97
    @THEWLLAS97 5 часов назад +19

    I think it might look a little more “together” if the labels were in the same place on each shelf, like in column once or twice on each shelf. I understand this might be hard since all your genres are different sizes. Maybe you put them in a grid and you can have the same genre multiple times covering the whole area that that genre is in. It might be easier to reorganize too when you inevitably grow different genres!

  • @MaraMara89
    @MaraMara89 3 часа назад +4

    As some people already suggested: those labels would look more coherent if they would be in same spot on every shelf - one on far right and one on far left would be mine idea. Also: those labels are ... too white - more yellowish/cream paper would be way better as white ones don't go well with bookshelves colour!
    I tried to make database of books I do own in excel, but I was bored after ~40 ... now I want scanner and that base/website you got - even though I have way less books 🙃
    EDIT: according their website Libib is free up to 5000 items and have app letting you scan books by phone camera.... I know what I will be doing tomorrow instead of cleaning my house as I planned 🤣

    I think the 'tackiness' comes from the white of the label. instead of having label on the wood, you can have the book separators with the labels on them, idk the proper name for it but you find them in bookstore to separate or mark when big authors books starts for example.

    @bananalandblu1430 3 часа назад

    1800 is an amazing amount of books, and if you have the space and the means then why not. But every time I see one of your videos, I worry that your book collection has outgrown its space far far too quickly for you to keep up with providing more shelves (and eventually places to put the shelves). At this rate, you're going to end up building your house out of books, a la James May's lego house!
