How do you feel about your bookshelves? Anything you want to work on? Any interesting stats?

@laurenschenck5355 Год назад

I feel great about my bookshelves and I always clean them every few weeks and I am trying not to buy to many books as my goals ❤ only buy new books once a month or something

@gabrielag.2030 Год назад

after this video I'm planning to check how many books I owe vs. read but I'll wait till after Christmas cause it may be messy 🤣

@leticiatoraci9855 Год назад

I have a lot of unread nonfiction. The fiction is not so much the problem. Even though I want to focus on unhauling fiction books I didn't like.

@denlillefinefisk Год назад

Currently, my books are on the floor (just moved), and as I unpacked them, I did notice that many of them are non-fiction, which I like collection, but not reading, apparently. So, my goal is to participate in the "read it or unhaul it" challenge next year. 😅 I read mostly sff and the odd romance, but I do love me a good niche non-fic, so it should be fun. 😊

@xmilax96 Год назад

I'm working on the books i've had on my bookshelves for years thanks to you! Just now i was reading the first chapters of 6 books to decide which one i'm reading next

@Nixx0912 Год назад

My new year's resolution is really go easy on library and read the books I bought. We'll see how it works out.

@Marie45610 Год назад

I need to do that as well. More than 90% of the books I read in a year I read through my library. I keep not reading the books I have on my shelf, some of them I've had for 3-4 years, and still haven't read. 😬

In early 2020 when the pandemic started I counted my unread books for something to do. Ended up with 562 unread vs 200 read so just about what you have. I decided to try and read them and I’m down to 52 today. Some I read, some I read and listened to the audio from Libby, and some I DNFed because they didn’t work for me. I was ruthless because I also wanted to keep reading new releases and my TBR was stressing me out. I’m hoping to keep my TBR to 30ish. I think if it doesn’t stress you out having unread books is great (especially when there’s an unexpected pandemic and you’re trapped inside 😂) but if you decide to tackle the pile I can tell you it’s doable 👍. You got this!

@jenniferpeterson530 Год назад

I love book stats! I owns approximately 687 books (I’m sure there are more hiding somewhere lol). Out of those 121 of them are unread the rest I have read. The genre I own and have the highest percentage read is Fantasy with historical fiction coming in second. I primarily read from my shelves so I’m really happy with it. ♥️

@mintyxx1 Год назад

Wow! Congratulations! I wish my unread numbers were that "low." I keep getting distracted by Kindle Unlimited books. Haha

@jenniferpeterson530 Год назад

@@mintyxx1 Thanks! It’s taken me 2 years to get it down to that. A couple years ago I had 400+ unread and I found it overwhelming lol. I do still get quite a few books from the library and KU probably 25% of my reading lol.

@ilsaingrid Год назад

I own almost 2,200 books at this point. I really should do an unhaul, probably. But seeing books all around me makes me happy!

@CB-sr8ee Год назад

Do you have little libraries in your neighborhood? There’s quite a few in mine. People build a little library on a post in their front yard and swap books through them. If you have a front yard, I think you should put one up. 😉

@nonfictionfeminist Год назад

My yearly fee for access to a larger library will always be one of my best purchases. I've saved hundreds of dollars on buying books that I didn't enjoy, so that I could curate my physical library to be filled with books that I found I loved

@BookswithEmilyFox Год назад

100%! Paying the fee gives me access to a lot more books (and 20 more spots on the waiting list!) so it's absolutely worth it!

@sarahhansen8004 Год назад

This is making me feel much better about the accumulation of books that is happening in my bedroom. I have enough books to spend all of 2023 reading. But maybe that’s not so bad it seems! You’re representing book goals here.

@BookswithEmilyFox Год назад

Some people feel overwhelmed with piles of unread books but for others (me included!) it just makes us happy :D

@suzannemoore404 Год назад

My favorite shirt says "It's not hoarding if it's books" 😂

@sophiegaladheon8283 Год назад

I love a book stats video😊. I definitely own more read books than unread since I usually read books from the library first then buy them if I really like them, so I'm probably around 90% read, 10% unread. I do want to work on actually reading that 10%, since I tend to prioritize the library books (since they have due dates) and never get around to the unread books I own😅. I highly recommend both Ancillary Justice and Ninefox Gambit, which I spotted you had unread. Those series are two of my all-time favorites.

@Shellyish Год назад

My guess: 60% of your books are unread. Most unread: literary fiction.

@gabsalvas6975 Год назад

534 😯😯😯? Emilyyyyy ahaha this is so much! 😂I feel bad with my 40 something unread books. 😅😅 Of course it's just funny, tell me if you ever need someone to raid your shelves, i could add to my unread piles without any shame now LOL

so you are telling me that I am officially a library? I mean maybe not me on my own, but since my dad is also a avid reader, collectively we have a lot of books/manga in this house xD not many unread ones for me though

@DesAnanieva Год назад

I fell in love with you in this video

@marquettahaywood9227 Год назад

This year for 22,I am in a huge major reading slump because my new year resolution for 2022 was not to buy any books. I’m currently sitting at 1330 books and almost 200 books on audible. 23 is almost here.

@Marie45610 Год назад

It's been a while since I've counted, but I think I have maybe around 200 physical books. (no idea how many on my kindle) And I think I've read just under half of them. If I kept all the books I've read I would have closer to 400 but I frequently unhaul as well if I don't plan on re-reading or if I didn't like it.

@beamingforbooks Год назад

I hope to use the library more in 2023!

@jackiesliterarycorner Год назад

I unhaul a few every so often so I don't have to get another shelf, but I can't seem to make big unhauls. I try to make goals to where I might be able to unhaul a lot more but I kind of fail at that.😁

@ciannacoleman5125 Год назад

I have three goals for reading this year: 52books (avg. 1/week is manageable), I am finally going to finish Lord of the Rings (& tack on the Silmerillian if I have time), and out of 24 gifted-to-me unread books I would like to read 12. I also have 2 “read it or unhaul it”s. I have 52 physical TBRs total but the gifted ones are this year’s priority. My friends and I also spontaneously started a book club of 2 books per month to get some of our other TBRs done (will all be library or digital, no more bringing books in lol)

@JillPlusBooks Год назад

In an ideal world, what would be your dream percentage of "read" on your shelves? Just curious! (I do think 33% is fine, lots of potential on the shelves!) I find this a super interesting thing to figure out! I haven't tried it with my shelves. Really interesting video! =)

@cleverkrowbooks13 Год назад

I am a library?! I love it. I have well over 1500 books. Classics are my worst read, but that's just because I have like every classic and they take awhile to get through. With the exception of classics, I get rid of books I have no intention of re-reading even if I enjoyed them.

@BookswithEmilyFox Год назад

Classics are definitely slower!

@nicolejones911 Год назад

Fun fact I started good reads in 2016 and I’ve read 662 books, I was nicely surprised how close I am to your read books 😊

@heysara910 Год назад

Oh man. Those BookTube YA book outlet buys! I took all of those RU-vid-inspired YA books and brought them to a local Girl Scout troop. I know myself, I know I’ve outgrown that genre & unless it’s something I’m super excited about, I won’t reach for those over other books. The girls loved it! I’m not really acquiring books any more. I needed the shelf space for my daughter’s growing library, so I donated almost everything & now I mostly use Libby, and occasionally buy a book I’ve read that I rated 5 stars!

@matthampton8692 Год назад

1. Would say you have read 58% of your books 2. Would say Science Fiction is the genre you own the most books of 3. Would say Non Fiction is your genre with highest percentage of unread books

@arobinreads Год назад

Love this set up and the video! I own about 80 books and have read 70 of them. I actually don't like owning unread books, because I tend to just use my library I totally agree with booktubers needing to use their libraries more. I also have gotten into scifi because of you. Haven't found that many I have loved, but trying next year to find more favorites

@ejderhaz Год назад

I DIDN'T SEE THE NOTIFICATION omg, but it feels like I'm opening a surprise gift now.. So I'm not complaining

I counted 76 unread owned physical books on my shelf. I’m committing to buying MUCH less, and reading my TBR!!!

@nataliewakes Год назад

Omg Saaaame about Stephen King!! Always at the library but I find the way he writes women soooooo infuriating! Is every woman a moaning sulky annoying person?... Surely not 😒 Don't understand the popularity tbh (having said that I like some films, i.e. misery, the shawshank redemption, green mile, gerald's game). Enjoyed you sharing your stats and going through what you need to read, I think I've read about an 8th of my tbr 😅 x

@BookswithEmilyFox Год назад

They often make some good changes with the movies too. I watched The Mist recently and apparently the ending is different and it was much better than what I read was in the book lol

@nataliewakes Год назад

@@BookswithEmilyFox Definitely! Ooo I haven't seen The Mist, will have to add that to my list x

@kathleenbrashier2579 Год назад

Oooo! Really late to this game, but guessing. 😂 1) 49% read books 2) Fantasy/Sci Fi (If they're separate, Fantasy) 3) Mystery/Thriller YES! Put books on the taxes! Made me laugh. So satisfying.

@beccaisinvisible Год назад

Prediction: You’ve read 40% of the books you own; you have mostly fantasy; non-fiction has the highest % unread!

@Lysis99 Год назад

I mostly buy the favorites, the one i know i will reread. Each year, I buy 12 books for a specific challenge. I get rid of them if they are not favorites. Otherwise, I don't buy that many books. I own 50 books, max

@elinmor89 Год назад

I have around 250 books. I do unhaul a lot, specially with books I don't like/ DNF or isn't going to read again. I have right now 20 unread books. In 2022 I read 16 of my own books of the 47 books I read so far.

@wrens1407 Год назад

Predictions! 1) 63% read 2) Most books owned: science fiction 3) Genre with the highest % unread: nonfiction

@beLIEver31415 Год назад

My Predictions: 1) read 60% of your books 2) own the most science fiction books 3) fantasy has the highest unread books

@DragonHeart29 Год назад

My guess : 1- 50/50 // 2-Fantasy // 3-Non-Fiction ... In the recent years, I've been moving quite often because of my studies, so I stopped buying physical books. I only own some special editions that were gifted to me. Otherwise, I became an ebook hoarder 😅

@bethanywhite7904 Год назад

I have 102 unread books. Now you inspired me to count my books owned that I have read...

@gabriellebelcourt5487 Год назад

1. %35 percent read 2. Sci-fi for most own 3. Non-fiction for most unread I constantly unhaul books and I try to keep my collection confined to two billy bookshelves because my apartment is small. My dream is to have a big library though!

@anikamercier2651 Год назад

I’m guessing you have 40% unread, you own the most fantasy and that’s also the genre where you have the most unread books.

@MoJordanReads Год назад

I almost exclusively read ebooks, most of which are from the library, then I buy books that I love and want to own. So I'd guess that I've read like, 70% of the books I own!

@crystaldollhouse Год назад

I think I want my read books to be 70%, it’s around 50% right now but I only own around 200 books. I like having a few choices that I haven’t read yet 😊

@avsambart Год назад

To answer your questions, I'm guessing : 1. 40% 2. Fantasy 3. Fantasy After the answers: I didn't guess too badly. I don't wanna talk about Classics... I have a whole list I'm dedicating 2 months to (to finally read all the classics I've ever been interested in) and it's not going well at all (lots of DNFs). I don't own a lot of books at all, just purely because I moved countries and my visa still isn't stable and I refuse to settle down properly (i.e build my library) until I have a perminant visa, so most of my read books from the decade are ebooks from the library. I own maybe 80 books max (most are still at my parents' house) with maybe 60% of them read? I buy like 5 new books every two years when I fly back home (an english speaking country with english bookstores).

@meljstephan Год назад

My worst genre is definitely fantasy because they're ALWAYS part of a series and I just don't like committing to being in the mood for 4 books in the same world

@giantjungle Год назад

My guesses 1. 60%, 2. Sci-fi/Fantasy, 3. Contemporary/Literary Lit

@theblueiMe Год назад

I never read the books that I buy, so I stopped buying them. Now, I only borrow them from the library. I think I need a deadline to read and finish books.

@onfaerystories Год назад

Ok, I'll play that game. You have read 40% of your physical books, the most books you own physically are mystery/thrillers, and I want to say the worst percentage or read/unread would be for Fantasy? 🤔

@badfaith4u Год назад

I unhaul books I don't like to didn't finish. Also some books I did finish but don't want to keep. I have a unread shelf on my bookshelves.

@natasja8201 Год назад

Ooooh ok this is what I think if I compare it to my own bookshelves 😂: 1 % of read books: 40%. 2 genre: sf. 3 genre of unread books: fantasy. I do own a lot of unread books, mine is about 30% read 😅

@caitlinway4095 Год назад

1. 57% read of total number 2. Sci-fi is the most owned 3. Non-fiction is the most unread

@DanicaChristin Год назад

1) 67% unread 2) Most common genre fantasy 3) Worst ratio historical fiction

@duffypratt Год назад

I have about 1500 physical books, and 50 that are unread, or perhaps more if you take into account complete poetry collections and philosophy collections (like the collected works of Aristotle). Also, it’s a shame that people think of classics as a genre. Alice in Wonderland is a classic, and a children’s book, and fantasy. I sort of get why people do it, but it’s one of the things that makes classic books more intimidating, when most of them (the novels at least) were simply very popular books that have survived the test of time. Meaning they have been popular across several generations. That would not be intimidating (except that English teachers seem to be hell-bent on making people hate reading and literature).

@paulinetayloe9988 Год назад

I’ve got the Libby apt which I only use at time, I have my apple iPad apple book apt which I can set to a certain amount on f reading time, then I have the kindle oasis 3 months unlimited, and if for 300 plus books hopefully coming this Christmas, and I just love reading books more than anything, but I haven’t used my Libby apt in ages and yet I’m buying books faster than I can read them normal if I’m luck I’m on a book a week or 2-4 days, and I can read multi books but I prefer reading them one at a time so right now I’m r adding 60 books a year well so far I’ve read 60 books and the years not over yet, I have 1k ebooks on my iPad and one book set on my kindle and I like the audiobooks on RU-vid, but the now I prefer the physical type books, so ho can I take advantage of the 4 mediums?

@julibaro575 Год назад

I own less than 30 physical books that I've randomly bought in library sales or secondhand. I read between 100 and 140 books a year, but I simply do not have enough money to buy so many books, so I just turn to the library or read something from my boyfriend's bookshelfs hahahah

@jennawar13 Год назад

I get rid of books! I don’t have a lot of space haha so if it wasn’t an all time favorite I pass it on. And I mean of all time, I get rid of 5 stars too if I don’t think I’ll re-read them (I RARELY re-read anything). That being said, I have more unread books on my shelves too which I don’t mind, but I definitely want to get some read and moved out so there’s space for new books!

Predictions: You've read 60%. Most owned and most unread will be SFF! I own roughly about 531 physical books and I've read half of them. I have also purchased a lot of them second hand, but a good chunk are new. And the reason so many are unread is totally the library's fault! 😄 My main goal for 2023 is to read books I actually own.

@lyrica95 Год назад

1. 30% 2. Sci-Fi / fantasy 3. Thriller / horror Let's see 🙈💕

@kdonaldson7308 Год назад

My personal library has about 50% read. I always unhaul 1 and 2 stars 3 stars I keep depending on if I think there is something I would recommend to someone else or it’s a classic etc. The only time I keep buts I dislike is if they are part of a set.

@edenworkaferahu9755 Год назад

oooh this is fun. i think you have read 40% of the books you have. i believe the genre you own most is horror/ thriller and lastly the highest 5 of unread genre is SFF

@alidathebooks806 Год назад

1. You've read 37% of your books. 2. You own the most fantasy. 3. You have the most Classics unread.

@jacksonwright5145 Год назад

I have a lot fewer books than you but probably a similar ratio of unread to read. I also plan to get rid of any I don't like and buy library finds that are new favorites! I love the idea of my bookshelves reflecting my specific taste.

For thrillers that are so much better than Goodread's Choice nominees, I highly recommend Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton and Mrs. March by Virginia Feito. I feel like you would enjoy these because I feel like they have a similar vibe to Razorblade Tears, which I know you've mentioned a lot!

Hi Emily! I love your videos. I don’t own a lot of books any more. I keep my all time favorites (maybe out of print) and that’s about 10. I keep what I call “reference” books (devotionals, poetry, etc) and that totals about 20-25. And then there’s my physical unread: maybe 30-40. I buy used. But mainly I use the Library, Scribd and Kindle. Mostly I listen to audio. I’d be interested in your non-physical stats for this year.

@BookswithEmilyFox Год назад

I'm curious too because I have not been very diligent and I'll have to enter them all in my excel sheet before I post my video in January haha
