Every Unread Book on my Bookshelves
Hello everyone!
Today I'm taking on the slightly daunting task of finding all of the unread (or partially-read) books on my bookshelves.
Just a little disclaimer here that the majority of these books were either bought as gifts or bought from charity shops/second hand. I'm only putting this here because I don't want anyone to watch this video and feel like they should have more books, or that they don't have enough. I used to spend a lot of my money on books, but have recently found this hobby to be sustainable by buying a lot more second hand, or relying on those Christmas and Birthday book vouchers! Please don't feel that you need to accumulate more books in order to be a "reader" or spend lots of money to enjoy collecting books. Okay...pep-talk over.
Now when to find the time to read ALL of these books???

I started reading classics maybe 2 years ago. My favorite classics so far are the picture of dorian gray, withering heights, persuasion and les misérables. I am happy to see that you have some of them in your tbr. Hope you'll enjoy them 😊

I'm really excited to read more classics this year, especially Persuasion and Picture of Dorian Gray. I'd also love to get to Wuthering Heights as I have loved reading Jane Eyre so much. I have read the Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo and really enjoyed it, so Les Mis is definitely one I want to get to at some point!
Persuasion is fantastic! I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you! I’m really looking forward to reading it! ☺️
Ok, so I feel more comfortable now having your number 😂 Love your channel, found it 2 months ago searching for Ishiguro’s reviews. Considering you only buy 1-2 books I feel calm now. I know you have accumulated a lot over Cristmas. I am constantly buying books and I have 53 unread in my library. Really love your content ❤

Oooh not finishing a series is not a good enough excuse to get rid of it, if it holds good memories 😁 at least in my book 😜❤️
This was fun! My tbr pile is very large. My problem is I buy second hand/used book stores and they are much cheaper allowing me to buy more books. Your bookshelves are very pretty, so clean and organized. My shelves need a makeover. Not sure what I will read next. I vary from day to day. Right now , I am reading The Cottage Fairy Home Companion, I enjoy her KZread channel. Have a great week!

I highly recommend 'Persuasion', it is my favourite Jane Austen. Jane's final book shows just how she had matured as a writer, to me this is a grown up novel and a true masterpiece. I tried to read Jonathan Norell. . . and dnf'd it, but I would like to try to read again and see if I can continue. Good luck when you read it!

I’m really excited to read Persuasion now, as so many people have commented about how great it is 😍 Haha, I feel like I’ll need to wait to pick up Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell when I’m in that certain kind of reading mood 😂
I love, love, love Tess of the d'Urberville! 🤗I promised myself I'm only reading unread books from my bookshelfs this year. Hope I'll stick with that... 🙏😒

@@readerinareverie I think it will take determination to get through the first few chapters, I read the first and it was a bit of a snooze fest but I can sense and have been told it gets a lot better.
