Glad I’m not the only one. 61 here. Sometimes feel a bit of a creeper in the shadows (not in a weird way). They’re both a guilty pleasure to follow. Love seeing the little glimpses they give us. They’re so adorable together. And it’s so wonderful watching them go forward in their lives. To work towards something. To explore. To experience. Love seeing how free and open they are.
I’m 59, and I love watching their videos about my two favorite subjects, books and plants. I look forward to Chris’s book reviews, and my daughter was impressed I read the Emily Wilde books. 😂
Seeing Chris' happy face talking about his channel is the most wholesome loving thing ever 💙 We're so grateful you're making these videos Chris, thank you!!!
I loved watching this video, the satisfaction. But honestly, it also makes me so glad I started just giving books away after I read them. I LOVE the bookshelf aesthetic, but I love books having new lives with others. If I keep them, they will just gather dust. And I have enough books sitting on the shelf just waiting to be read.
love both of your channels! my fiancé and I are also plant and book people. just wanted to say thank you to both you y'all because I've made it through med school watching/listening to y'all on repeat since my first year (just started my 3rd year!). hope you're both doing well!
This is my first encounter with your channel and oh my god??!! Like I was smiling throughout the whole video, sure, but the moment Benji started singing the alphabet song to see what letter comes next, I smashed "subscribe"! The bookshelves look amazing guys🥹 Can't wait to see more of your contents!
I love how chris showed more of his personality in this video! Love your energy chris! Your video makes me feel safe which is something I really need right now I also think you’re gonna make it far! I would love more lifestyle videos too as I’m not always looking for books hehe
Great job guys!!! I love how Chris looks at Benji when he’s speaking and waits till he finishes before he starts speaking. Such gentle manners. Loved this cozy video. Congratulations on your 20k Chris 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I used to work at B&N and taking a big cart of books to shelve and put them in alphabetical order was my FAVE thing to do. It's so therapeutic to me. So happy you could to this to your own home bookshelf-- it looks great!
19:22 I did indeed fall asleep to this video, ended up taking a 2-hour nap that will probably make bedtime difficult. your video is so relaxing lol I can’t be mad
I suddenly remembered library index cards while watching this. I had fond memories in school libraries. I always enjoyed going there if not to study get random books and read.
Congratulations on your 20K subscribers! I love your content and how you seem to be true to your personality. It seems all so natural and cozy 💕 and yes, organizing a library IS fun and enjoyable. I loved this video :)
Annihilation is such a great lovecraftian, unsettling book. It works as a standalone but the whole Southern Reach trilogy which tells the complete story from Annihilation to Authority to Acceptance is both captivating and entertaining.
I had this up on my monitor while I worked on my laptop. I loved how wholesome and relaxing it was (felt I was organizing the shelf with you all with nice bg sounds) :)
Loved this. I felt I was just sitting in a corner watching you two. Watching you together makes me feel so good. BTW, I’m more like Benji as far as organizing goes. I’ve got books in every room; fiction, non fiction. It would take me forever!
This video was so calming and comforting. It feels like you two are super kind and gentle.Live seeing into your world. Congratulations on your sub count- 35K as of 1/14/2025! 🎉🎉
idk if this will make any sense to anyone but I organise my books by countries so not only the series aren’t split up but also the authors and then I put countries into continents - so all asian books together, all european books together and so on it works WONDERS ✨
I loved this video! And it took you no time at all. The clock on the right hand side of your bookshelf didn’t move it all. It was on 10:40 the entire time. Lol anyway, the bookshelf looks great. Love you both! ❤️
Chris, you tend towards linearity, whereas Benji tends towards organasmic 😉! You 2 are so suited together like Theo and Winnie playing during the vid🐕🐈⬛❤🙏
I recently found your channel and im so glad i did! I read Lie with me and The very secret society of irregular witches because of you and i absolutely loved both the books!! I can't thank you enough for the videos you have put out and i look forward to watching your future videos!💗
16:45 I have a Notion page for all my books. There I organize them by tbr, currently reading and finished. I also have subcategories such as rating on a scale from 1 to 5, genre, obv author name and number of pages. I read a lot of e-books, so I like to be able to actually see all the books I've read in overview. Also I mostly read on my kindle and only buy the physical copy if i really love the book. I love having paperbacks but I hate having my room fill up with piles of books I don't actually like and will never look again
Aaaahhhh I love your shirt Chris!! It’s so awesome and so you as well😅 some organization would make you feel even better when you see your home library in order. So happy you both can enjoy and hang out while cleaning 💙
Your face when you looked at the camera at 12:51 when Benji says, "but it's so clean looking now" LOL 🤣 Congratulations on your milestone for subscribers! Can't wait to see more of your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Omg 19:40 "this is a background video while you are also rearranging your book shelves." that is literally what I am doing. are you the CIA? I lov3 your videos. you both are beautiful souls and always make me happy when I watch you. I follow Benji also those plant videos are fire.
My organisation bug and after work brain fog really appreciated this video. Also i just finished "song of Achilles" and the comment about Chris' hair absolutely destroyed me😅
Hello, Chris. I was actually organizing my stationery as I watched your video. I loved the organized shelves --- they looks so clean and purposeful. Thank you for sharing this with us. Say hi to Benji too ✨☘️
One thing that I’ve found to be a great help with books and bookshelves is a cleaning aid. Get some wood boards. About 2-3 inches by 1 inch. Cut lengths maybe a 0.5 inch shorter than each shelf that will contain books. Sand the edges. Place each length onto each shelf. Orient so that the 1 inch side is flat to the back panel of the shelf. Put books in place. Now when you want to do a basic dusting you just tip the books (however many you can push back and hold with one hand) towards the back and dust. I find that with generally anything the books always get pushed to the back of the shelves and it makes a pain to clean. Also with the books on higher shelves when they’re pushed back you can’t clearly see what’s there.
19:22-19:30: Crafting marketing content for my inaugural pop-up event, where I'll be selling my crafts to the public for the first time! Feeling the stress, but your vibe is keeping me grounded. 😅
I can't believe you haven't watched Buffy the vampire slayer. It's my favorite show of all time. Loved your video, as always. Theo and Winnie are so adorable!
I’m a literature professor at a school in Atlanta (and I only mention this because I have books EVERYWHERE in my home). I feel that I would need to pay someone to organize my books by author. Impossible to do by myself or with friends.
Great stories, great video, and love listening to you speak, Chris. You have a great narrator’s voice. Have you ever considered getting into voiceover work?
You can put the sofa in front of the window it will be great view every day looking to your bookshelves proudly. Try this change I did it and found it awesome.
I got them on FB marketplace. The guy was a reseller who found them at an estate sale in LA. I see them pop up every once in a while on FB marketplace here but they don’t have a makers mark or anything
Oh you guys make my day happier! Im an old 59 year old fan here and thinking how adorable you guys are+ the pets!
Glad I’m not the only one. 61 here. Sometimes feel a bit of a creeper in the shadows (not in a weird way). They’re both a guilty pleasure to follow.
Love seeing the little glimpses they give us. They’re so adorable together. And it’s so wonderful watching them go forward in their lives. To work towards something. To explore. To experience.

I'm 54 and these two guys restore my faith in human nature.. ❤❤✨✨
62 here. I like this channel. It's great seeing a happy, well adjusted young couple enjoying their lives together.
And…61 here. ❤ your vibe!
This is EXACTLY what I needed to decompress after work. Thank you - you guys are so wholesome 😭
😊💘
I love how soft spoken you guys are
Theo and Winnie in this video behaving very mindful and DEMURE💜
very cutesy, very demure🙂↕️

Chris's T-shirt is cuuuute
19:22 I did indeed fall asleep to this video, ended up taking a 2-hour nap that will probably make bedtime difficult. your video is so relaxing lol I can’t be mad
This video is so calming and relaxing. It's like an ASMR video for reorganizing bookshelves.
Chris, I love your channel. Ilas a bibliophile myself, I share your excitement for an organized library/bookshelves. Nothing like a good book.
I suddenly remembered library index cards while watching this. I had fond memories in school libraries. I always enjoyed going there if not to study get random books and read.
AGHAST at the Tress slander coming from a sanderson fan (it's easily top 3 for me)
This is EXACTLY what I need during my lunch break at work 🙂↕️ both of your channels are my favorite thing to watch at all times
I bet it feels so much better now that it's organized and adding to it is gonna feel so much easier yasss
Congratulations on your 20K subscribers! I love your content and how you seem to be true to your personality. It seems all so natural and cozy 💕 and yes, organizing a library IS fun and enjoyable. I loved this video :)
thank you so much😭💌
Annihilation is such a great lovecraftian, unsettling book. It works as a standalone but the whole Southern Reach trilogy which tells the complete story from Annihilation to Authority to Acceptance is both captivating and entertaining.
This video was such a vibe, I watched it twice - thank you for the calm break, I really needed it
I had this up on my monitor while I worked on my laptop. I loved how wholesome and relaxing it was (felt I was organizing the shelf with you all with nice bg sounds) :)

I always grew up with books in every room... This was very nice. Thank you for sharing your process and beautiful books! 💖
Your face when you looked at the camera at 12:51 when Benji says, "but it's so clean looking now" LOL 🤣

Annihilation is such a good book! One of my favorites! I hope you get around to reading it :)
Thank you needed this to listen to while I sorted out my own room ❤
Annihilation is so good. Its a rare case of the book and movie being equally great cause they are so different.
Hello, Chris. I was actually organizing my stationery as I watched your video. I loved the organized shelves --- they looks so clean and purposeful. Thank you for sharing this with us. Say hi to Benji too ✨☘️

I LOVE YALLLL 💖
Hi Chris! New to your channel and absolutley loving your videos
hello! thank you so much🥹 they were from facebook marketplace, and the seller said he got them from an estate sale
@@chrislibrary So lucky! They're gorgeous.
I’m a literature professor at a school in Atlanta (and I only mention this because I have books EVERYWHERE in my home). I feel that I would need to pay someone to organize my books by author. Impossible to do by myself or with friends.
theo making the cutest cameo
I want your little dog! So cute!
I'm going to use the phrase "my worst strengths" on my resume.
Great stories, great video, and love listening to you speak, Chris. You have a great narrator’s voice. Have you ever considered getting into voiceover work?
Looks so beautiful and aesthetic ❤
Love this video 🤗
This gave me lifeeee. Also totally agree with Benjis thoughts on Find Me by Andre Acaiman
I really love your shirt :)
Have you read any Baldacci, Sheldon and Grisham novel?!
Never watched Buffy? Unbelievable! Gotta start ASAP! 😊
You can put the sofa in front of the window it will be great view every day looking to your bookshelves proudly. Try this change I did it and found it awesome.
Omg I made it to book 3 of wheel of time too! lol it is definitely a lot.
16:28 HYEJU'S ALBUM?? OMG FELLOW ORBITS
First 😊🎉I love you guys so much 💗 I watch your videos all the time 😅 sometimes, rewatch it😂 sending you lots of love 😊keep creating good videos
My apologizes if this question has come up already...where did you get those bookshelves? I think they are beautiful!
I got them on FB marketplace. The guy was a reseller who found them at an estate sale in LA. I see them pop up every once in a while on FB marketplace here but they don’t have a makers mark or anything
