Setting up my New Bookshelf & tour 📚 light academia
Hello, and welcome to my channel. This is a space for study enthusiasts and tea drinkers, and those who spend hours ambling around libraries and book shops. I hope that my videos can provide motivation and encourage you to be productive, but without feeding into Hustle Culture. I think that productivity is all about enjoying what we do, and finding time for things that bring us happiness or will bring us happiness in the future -- and I hope to celebrate this kind of living on my channel.

Organising bookshelves has to be one of the most (if not THE most) therapeutic and satisfactory activity you can do!📚🧡✨

I don't have enough shelves for books I don' t know if I should buy a bigger bookshelf or if I should just read and give the books away after .. I don't know what to do that' s why I prefer taking books from library but I do have lots of books which were not read and I am not really keen into reading them but I want to give them a chance before giving them away . I am organizing my books that's why the ramble
is this just a me thing, or do any other very bookwormy people love the smell of new and old books?

I like both scents, but I am not fond of the texture of old books.
I couldn’t describe how much I love Ruby’s channel - not only motivating and productive, but it makes me feel better. We’ve got very similar interests, and I am very excited of hosting a Victorian tea party for my friends, based on what you said and showed in your video about how you hosted a Victorian era tea party. I really wanted a new video from you today about your bookshelf, and you just posted it!! Magical, you are divine, Ruby!! 🫖😇🤍

Hey Ruby, I understand hoe important it is to build a environment which ultimately helps to make our life more productive and disciplined. We need to have good relationship with the objects around us in our environment. Can you please make a video on how can we make our environment (study room) in a way that it triggers cues that makes our lives more productive.

I put tiny iridescent star stickers on the lower spine of each one of the books I’ve read. It’s so satisfying to see them on my books shelves and knowing their meaning ⭐️ 📚 💫 . Also, I have bee contemplating getting a labels made with my name and a book quote to put in all of my books. I love when I purchase a used book and reading the name/inscription inside.

That's such a good idea... I really love that. And YES to the book inscriptions! You should definitely do that!
I have that set of Charles Dickens. I was given them 60 years ago, by our neighbours who had previously run a private lending library. Wherever I have moved to during my adult life, they have always come with me. 🙂
There is something so satisfying about watching someone organise a bookshelf! Your videos are so inspirational Ruby 💗
One day, Ruby's room will be decked with bookshelves and books from floor to rafter. It will be a labour of literary love!
Your family’s library is beautiful! The shelves in your room look amazing!
Hey Ruby, your videos have slowly become some of the most comforting moments of my week. I'm usually a very pessimistic person, so the joy you take in life, in your studies, is so inspiring and it fills me with hope. You've also given me a new motivation to read. I used to be an avid reader but I stopped for one reason or another a few years ago, and seeing your passion for books has re awoken that passion in me too. Thank you so much. From India
I love reorganizing my bookshelves. It makes me fall in love with my library all over again
Why is the sound of books being moved about/put on shelves such pure ASMR 😂😂
The sound of grabbing books and putting them back in place is so relaxing. I could easily listen to a 30 minute video of only that.
LOVE THIS❤️❤️ watching people organise stuff is so relaxing😭
Ah I spotted The Secret History on your TBR! You will love that book so much!
To be welcomed by a beautiful bookshelf filled with gorgeous books upon entering your room is indeed wonderful!
Tbh I like that Great Expectations is in a different colour. The title alone suggests that this book holds great expectations which is why it needs the different colour to stand out. 😂 maybe it's just me
when she said " because i have quite a lot of books i have a very bad habit of buying books when i already have a lot" i felt that in my soul cuz same-
You have some of the loveliest editions of classics I've ever seen! and the new shelf is so stunning!
take good care ruby! health is first. 💗 all the love
I love it when you organize your room and especially the bookshelf. I have a small bookshelf too, not too many books but enough for me. I love this video, Ruby. You always inspire me to be productive. Thank you for uploading mesmerizing videos. You have no idea how much they inspire me
You just reminded me that I need another bookshelf because my books have overflowed
My daily workout: Walking from my room to the kitchen to get cupcakes. Ruby's workout: Carrying heavy classic books around (which I wish I had).
Hello Ruby, I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU. I have been having a rough time lately. But when I saw the notification of your video, it made me feel a little better. Again, thank you for all the hardwork you put in . Best wishes :)
Ruby your bookshelves are so gorgeous. I'm moving soon so will definitely be watching this again as I unpack all my books!! 💛🧡💛
Loved watching this while sketching pictures of books! Feeling very bookish today!!
I now cannot wait to get my first bookshelf for all my precious books. Your videos always make me feel so warm and happy so thankyou for putting so much of your time into them ♡♡
This is a great set up! I really like that you draw out the possible layout first! I never thought to do that!
Everything is gorgeous, you're such a role model to everyone especially to me :) You have changed me alot thank you Ruby !!!! :)
Ruby, you are my idol. When ever i am feeling down, i watch you, and you inspire me to be productive. I started watching you in October 2020, a time in my life when i was questioning everything about me, especially because i was doing school online, but you completely changed my life, I felt more motivated and happy and my life took a turn for the better. You are amazing, and well, i wish i had a friend like you. You have saved my life.
Book reading is one of the best relaxing habit .
I can't wait for the full bookshelf tour always gives me ones to add to my TBR.
Today I bought 2 single shelves for my room and I simply can't wait!!
This video genuinely warmed my heart. I love how much you've put into this. Love the bookshelves, Ruby ❤
This is my first time watching a bookshelf tour and I just remembered how satisfying it is to shelf books 😊
I could feel your excitement and enthusiasm in this video and it is so engaging, I was smiling the whole time I watched!
Hey ruby! The bookshelf and your room looks amazing. It looks nice and cozy!!! I like that little part with your mom. 😊 She is sweet! Thanks for uploading ❤️
Very organised! 👏 👏👏 I still seem to have hope on my bookshelves after watching this.🤞 Thanks for sharing.
You have always looked and been so lovely! I’ve enjoyed watching all of your videos right before you started college! I’ve always loved books and libraries are the best! Living in the US, I always enjoy learning more of the English lifestyle as well!💙
It is so satisfying to organise a bookshelf!
As a book lover, this video makes me soooo happy!!! Like so many books! Everyone should have more books😁
I was waiting for this video for the longest time. I am so happy that it’s finally here
These type of videos are my absolute favourite on booktube! Your new bookshelf is stunning, you’re very lucky to have such a large collection of books! :)
I’m reorganizing my three bookshelves this weekend! Massive endeavor but I’m excited and this was the perfect motivation! Great video ☺️
Yay for an in depth bookshelve tour 😍
This is so beautiful Ruby, thank you for sharing it with us, you have got so many interesting and lovely books 😍Wish you a very nice day💜
Yessss I’m so excited for this video! ❤️
I absolutely love this video! organizing my bookshelves is one of my favorite hobbies
You have such a calming energy, and now I want to reorganise my books!!
Thank you so much for always bringing such positivity to my day and reminding me to enjoy the little things in life. I am so wishing my tiny flat had more space for bookshelves now, though. 😁🌸💖
Whenever I need motivation I watch a ruby granger video and usually after I am ready to do something productive!
I love, love, love your library!!
The tittle of this video should have been “Alice Takes a Break From Wonderland And Organizes Her Bookshelf”
Ah, I am in love with your new room Ruby! your videos give me so much motivation and make me so happy !!
I absolutely love that you collect children’s Christmas books!! It’s inspired me to want to do that too 🥰✨
Omg I love this new room! I would love to get a new bookshelf, I definitely need to grow my book collection first lol
I've been loving the room transformation videos!
Ah this was so fun to watch! I imagine it would be super satisfying to organize the downstairs bookshelves as well
I just counted my books and realized that I have 200+ books. It felt so beautiful , I can't wait buying new ones , I already read most of them , its like a addiction to me 🥲🤎
This is giving me the motivation I've been searching for to reorganize my bookshelf for the first time since I moved in April. It's been in desperate need of some TLC and I look forward to filling it with more books once I'm through. ^^
Thank you so much for making these sparkling videos. Seeing all these beautiful books makes me want to read more, and I can say for sure I'm gonna enjoy your future video about all your books as I want to make a book list haha! Greetings from France !
I kinda felt guilty because I checked out three books today online, and now watching this vlog made me happy because yes, we gotta buy moreee and read moreeee ♥️
Loved the book tour of your shelves. There’s something so satisfying in rearranging books and putting them together in new friendly groupings. I collect Frances Hodgson Burnett books and I have that one too. She wrote so many other fun books too (more than one might realize), but that story is my favorite.
Yesss do a Bookshelf tour 🤩🤩 so exciting 😍
I LOVE YOUR BOOKSHELF TOURS!
Thanks Ruby, that was so relaxing and satisfying♡
Wonderful! Keeping and letting go of books are my new priorities as I am 60 and space crunched. Wishing you loads of space ! And excellent first edition finds always !
Love bookshelf arrangements
I’ve just finished organising mine!! I feel much better now
as a bookworm, this was soo satisfying and exciting to see! Good for you
This looks beautiful Ruby and very well organised.
The final book of miss perigrine is really good.
Ruby, i love your vibe and i love you!!!! You are the best. This is so motivating... c:
I love how she literally plans out her book shelf on paper while I‘m just randomly putting all kinds of books all over my shelf :‘D
Ruby's voice is so calming and pleasing.
I love it! What do you think about giving us a tour of your library downstairs? Even reorganizing, it looks amazing😍
It’s too gorgeous!😻
Ruby looks even more beautiful when she is happy 😍
I loved the ruby video,everything is very nice.
Ruby , I love your videos sooo much!! like your so pleasing!!!

Lovely as always Ruby. 📚 📕 📖 🕯❤️
Loved watching this! Always enjoy organising my own bookshelf. Noticed that you have Testament of Youth on your tbr. It's my all time favourite book! I hope you enjoy it 📖
Little Lord Fauntleroy is a wonderful read! 😍 Enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed A Little Princess and The Secret Garden. So excited when I saw the Little House series on your shelves. Read them when I was little, and I still do. Hope you enjoy/ed reading them too. ☺️ On an unrelated note, I ordered your academic planner, and I am pretty sure I will get in time before uni (graduate school) starts. I can’t wait to use it! ☺️ With ♥️ from the Philippines!
It is absolutely beautiful 🥰
Tmrw I'm going to setup my bookshelf and it seems u read my mind, Ruby! 🥺❤️
This bookshelf is amazing!
Hi ruby love ur videos they’re just getting better and better
Love this type of videos ❤
I'm so excited to get my bookshelf this weekend. I feel like your video shares/reflects my excitement :P
This video was so satisfying to watch
I just got a second shelf as well and it's a life saver!
Wow I can’t wait to have my own big bookshelf like you!
Hope you're well and looking after yourself Ruby, you deserve it
It's stunning
