BOOKSHELF TOUR! | 2019 | Mostly Classics 

Your bookshelf is absolutey amazing. I recently bought some classics because of your channel and I can't wait to dive in over the winter.

i won't lie, as beautiful as those bookshelves look (and all the books in them of course), i'd be terrified that the shelf would collapse and i would die in my sleep crushed by a pile of books lol

OK, this is book porn. And I am so J E A L O U S !!! Looks fabulous XOXO

Very cosy room - perfect for a bookworm.

this is so lovely!! i’ve been binge watching your videos for a few days and i love your channel!! I used to read many classics at 15/16 and then just stopped for no reason. I wanted to pick them back up but I didn’t really find the will to do so. Hearing the way you talk about classics has given me the push I needed! Thank you❤️

Gorgeous bookshelves! Happy reading!

This was amazing to see your library in all it glory . Such a treat thank you for sharing with us ❤️

Finally the wait is over🌸 ..love reading classics and this overall bookshelf is dream 😍...love your channel 💜

I really love the bookshelf design! It is the best way to maximize the use of space, based on the shape of the room. Awesome!

Lovely video! It's so nice to know that you really appreciate books, not just use them as decoration! It shows itself in such small things (eg. You mentioning that the Penguin Clothbound have good notes as their first characteristic. I have seen these books everywhere on Bookstagram and did not know that!). Even the ordering of the books is well done! Extremely unique video, great selection of books, marvelous shelves, lovely explanations!

OMG this is my ultimate bookshelf dream lol, beautiful! So lucky you have this lovely layout!! Thanks for sharing ❣️

Your shelves are absolutely gorgeous! And it's really making me want to read to boot! A lovely bookshelf tour Lucy

I know this video is quite old now but I hadn't seen it before and I am just starting reading classical fiction and wanted to see your books for some ideas of what to read. Plus I love looking at other peoples collections. I love your vintage books and the really old ones. I am struggling to read at the moment. I keep picking up books reading one chapter and giving up. I just can't seem to settle. I think this is due to health issues plus the changes in life style due to Covid. I am working from home and barely going out, again because I have poor health, and cannot risk catching this new virus. Anyway for some reason I purchased a copy of Wuthering Heights a couple of weeks ago. I liked the cover art work and decided to give it a try. I've never watched it on telly or anything so it is totally new to me. I am half way through so not given up with it yet! I am not sure yet if I like it or not but the story is captivating and engaging. I don't much care for any of the characters but I will reserve judgement until the end of the book. I have also ordered quite cheaply copies of Jane Eyre, Shirley and Agnes Gray. I think for the moment I will stick with the Brontes as they seem to be quite popular. I am not a lover of Jane Austen tales having seen some adaptations on the telly and at the cinema. I have also bought because I heard it raved over a copy Middlemarch. The size is a bit daunting though. Lovely copy though. As a new to classics person what do you recommend for me to read? Any ideas are welcome.

Wow!! You’ve got such an impressive and sophisticated collection - definitely more of what I would normally like to read, so it gives me lots of recommendations:) I want to try and read all of Austen’s novels next year and all of the Brontë’s novels (this could be too ambitious!) but I will definitely start with Shirley after what you’ve said:)

Your shelves and book collection are so stunning! I read Les Miserables this year and it was so good! Your enthusiasm for Shirley is making me so excited. It's one of the few Brontes I have yet to read. The Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy is fantastic.

Lovely and delightful. Thanks very much for the tour. I'm watching while enjoying coffee and cake.

Yesss so excited for this!!

WoW! Just stumbled upon this video. You have such a beautiful library in every way, eye candy and mind candy. Enjoyed seeing and hearing all about it. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure I'll watch it several more times.

I love the set up of the intro, the angle, the lighting - everything! This should be your filming background for all your videos Xx

This set up is so gorgeous and cozy!

Hi Lucy! I just started on the Bronte shelf part of the tour and am interrupting the video to tell you my book club read "The Professor," and though not considered Charlotte's best work, we all saw a lot of humor in it! I enjoyed the story very much, and you knowing Charlotte as you do, when you finally do read it I think you will really like it too! Okay, I must continue (am very impressed with the tour and layout so far ... ) ~Debbie from Rochester, NY

When I watch your video , I feel like I live in an classic world. Thanks hope you will have more video

omg i love this so much. im so jealous of your bronte collection.

I was very eagerly waiting for this! Thanks for filming this

Mansfield park is my favourite Jane Austen book. My all time favourite classic is Jane eyre. I’m currently reading a room with a view by e.m. Forster

Lucy, loved your bookshelf tour. I would love to see a mini tour of your Persephone collection. I am slowly adding to my collection and would like to see which ones you have. Happy New Year!

Oh wow your room is a dream! How I'd so love that! Love the background music as well! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing collection, I can't imagine how it will be in another 10 years! :)

The Brontes shelf - a goal!

Your library is so beautiful 😍

You have some of the best video editing of all the book channels

Your bookshelf is well-organized, it’s colorful and I love it so much that I want to own one

Wow ! What a lovely bed ! Your place is beautiful. I'm imagining myself lying there and reading those books 🥰🥰lol😂

I just picked up Shirley today. I love the Brontes. Now I plan to get more Daphne du Maurer books.

Bookshelves are fabulous .

What a wonderful selection!

Loved this!

The intro music is "English Country Garden" by Aaron Kenny, you're welcome ^_^

Wonderful book shelf tour!

beautiful collection.

Persuasion is my favourite Austen. As for Hardy’s Laodicean, I believe it is pronounced LAY-OH-DIS-EE-AN. It comes from a Biblical reference to a congregation who were called ‘Lukewarm’ in their devotions. The word has entered our language meaning, half-hearted or lukewarm. Hope this is useful. Love your library.

GOALS!

I saw you have Decline and Fall- Evelyn Waugh's one of my favorite authors but I'd start with Brideshead Revisited and then A Handful of Dust. Those are his masterpieces.

Okay, so how did I just find out about your channel? Its near the end of 2020, but I just found you. I love those bookshelves and how they surround your bed. I'm so jealous!

Your bookshelf is gorgeous 😊

Cozy!!

LOVE this!

a very beautiful collection of books. :)

My dream is to one day have a room with bookshelves like this

This reminds me I need to get another bookshelf. I am lacking space to keep it , atm. And it breaks my heart to stack books up on top of each other. The edges of the spine tend to crack and it makes me feel miserable. I love the way you have organised your shelf though. Running out of space is a real problem .

spectacular!!

I have gotton to the point of being a bookworm where I get exited watching bookshelf tours

Do you find it super annoying to pull out the books when you stack them vertically??

I Love Your Bedroom !!! 📖📖📖

IN LOVE 🥰🥰💗💗

Having an entire Brontë shelf is now one of my dreams

Amazing 😍

You have Antonia Fraser's Mary Queen of Scots! I wrote my BA thesis on the basis of this biography.

wow tiny book 1837 ... 👌amazing

istg social media has been ruining me lately when I see all of these gorgeous books and then I look at my books I can't help but feel bad. Oops! Nonetheless your bookshelves are S T U N N I N G! I loved this video with all of my heart ♥

Lucy, I hope to one day own as many books as you. My edition of And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie looks exactly like yours. Unfortunately, I do not own physical copies of any of Lucy Maud Montgomery's books. However, I have downloaded most of her books on my Kindle. I have read two of Jane Austen's books, Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey. You have countless Bronte books. You have three copies of your novel, The Paper and Hearts Society. I endeavor to publish my writing and get it in your bookshelves. You have all of Charles Dickens's books in your possession. We are reading The Pearl by John Steinbeck. I love reading classics. I am currently reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. I purchased it after you recommended it to me. I watched the full forty-five minutes of this video. I submitted my short story, Ambition and Rejection to the Scholastic Writing Awards. Award recipients will be announced in March. The deadline for submission is Thursday. Your bookshelves are very organized. In 2020, I will read Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray. The next book I will read is Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. It is my goal to entice the love of reading in everyone. I love you

I notice you have most of the penguin library editions- are you able to say if their edition of “little Women” has both little women and good wives? Thanks

did you have a company put in your bookshelves? Id love something like this in our spare room!

you should start a library in town, you'd do great.

You have the best bedroom ever.

hav u read the old wives tale by arnold bennett yet?? it's a wonderful novel imo, would rly recommend it - a slightly more lower middle class focused forster (and slightly less well written! but full of tenderness!)

What an amazing room with a fucking awesome library! I'd pay for having your room!

You have a great library. What do you think about dystopian literature? Have you read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury or We by Yevgeny Zamyatin? And what about H.G. Wells? I love his novels The Invisible Man and the more terrorific The Island of Dr. Moreau ( there is a movie adaptation about that one). The other author I admire so much is M.R. James with his spooky tales such as "Number 13" and "A Warning to The Curious". Take care!

Wow 😀💗💗💗

What song is this in the opening? I recognize it but cannot remember to which movie or TV show soundtrack it belongs to.

How do you keep your books from dust? My mom forbid me to build a bookshelf in my room since it gathers so many dust..

wow

You might be interested in John Donne’s poetry.

Lucy what percentage of your books have you read?

How many Books do you Owen?

nice

How much can u tell about a person by the books they display on their room's bookshelves?

I do wonder what you're gonna do if you get a lot of new classics! How will they all fit *bites nails*

Hi

MashaAllah. You have something spesial. I wish you the best. Could you talk a bout David Copperfoeld by charles dickens, or Anna by Jane Austen,please?

No Far From the Madding Crowd?

this video gave me such bad author FOMO, I actually went to the library and checked out a bunch of these books!

Bookshelf by your bed not a good ideal even if you don’t live in a earthquake zone. Economy of space with out safety a wrong move and ideal. Minimalist living doesn’t mean living unsafe.

uh so you're intermittingly reading Dickens and Tolstoy. Just admit they are too erudite for you.
