building & organizing my dream library 

jack and haley and steph are THE people of dream home libraries

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Steph: "I don't want it to look like a book store" Jack: "i turned my house into a bookshop"

i get so excited when Steph posts

"I want my home to look lived in, I don't want it to look like a store" and "UGH, I cannot STAND when my series are not the same height" : my two personalities

Steph: 'I don't want to make it look like a book store' Jack: turns home into a book shop 😂 although I was obsessed with his layouts!

when she was talking about her “OG” era , i almost cried cuz she was the one who made me read all these books in 2020 and got me into reading😭😭😭

you did the ‘organized chaos’ style so well!! im inspired to redo my shelves😌

i love how you went from having books in the corner of your apartment to a whole room of them!! that’s growth if i’ve ever seen it fr

May you have a fantastic day and many more to come❤🥰

I’m saving this video until I’m all cozy sitting in my bed🥹 can’t WAIT to watchhhhh itttt

This video seems like a Thanksgiving gift 😭 I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL STEPH !!

Who here has been waiting their whole steph bohrer channel life to see her have a library?

the fact she posted and its a friday and im getting ready to have a cosy Friday night just made my day 🩷🩷🩷 Im gonna keep rewatching this purely so I can add to my tbr based off of what shes putting on her shelves. Her library is my goals for when i live by myself one day 🏡🩷

I would leave the small middle shelf open as more of a center for things like pictures or a few books on display. It would separate the 2 sides and make it pop. ❤

I don’t think I’ve actually ever been so excited for a video in so long!! The bookshelves look so good 🩷

My dream library 📚 make sure you leave space between the back of the book shelves and the pages so the pages and the books wont create mold. I saw a video on tik tok and I didn’t know that could happen.

I would get some pretty sconces to go on the open wall and then you could do some smaller lights within or around the shelves! Also, if you add trim pieces to the edges of the shelves, it’ll make it look more custom/built-in and not just ikea ☺️

As someone with super over-organised shelves (I’m talking in order of publication date) I adore your shelves, because they work best for you, and at the end of the day that’s the most important thing

I love this new era for steph ❤ I’m so happy for you

The apartment library is so aesthetically pleasing and beautiful.

I love the messy lived in look !! and it’ll just look better and better the more the shelves are filled.

these are seriously some my favorite type of book video because you get to see the cool collections that people have!! ❤❤

I was literally JUST rewatching your moving series, hope you’ve been feeling better and your anxiety has calmed down recently ❤

I'm so happy for you, you deserve this so much, i still remember when you had the book wall and now you have those gorgeous booksfels

YOU'RE THE SOLUTION TO ALL MY CURRENT PROBLEMS ❤

i'm emotional!!!! sometimes i still watch the video of the first bookwall being built (it's my comfort video) and now we are here...

drinking coffee on my couch with a blanket and book and having this on >>>

Love the shelves! I would have all kinds of cute little things on the shelves too. Mine are stuffed with cute little things that make me smile, and makes my heart sing! Can't wait to see the chair and rug and stuff when you add it!

The rage I felt building my Billy bookcases was unmatched lol I feel you 😅

Crying you’re the reason I got into reading romance again, and now you have this massive library and I’m so proud of you. This video is so special🥺❤️ I love you!

I just finished cleaning ,it's like a reward 😂😂😂 the idea of organized chaos is fantastic the bookshelfs looks absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤

Im 12mins in, and not me thinking "let me grab a pen and paper and rewatch this so I can write down everything she recommends." This is the ultimate Steph Bohrer recommendations video.

I’m on team I-organize-my-books-by-colors but the final result is so beautiful!! I love it so much! I think it would be cool to have a shelf with all the vinyls you own next to your record player : a cosy room with everything you love!

I love your library and miss Charleston so much! Being back home in Pittsburgh with family is nice, but there's just something so special about CHS.

We are such a community and i love it 💕

I recommend reading the red queen series 😍🥰🖤

the way i've been here since 2020 and have read underneath the sycamore tree, find you in the dark, ugly love, it ends with us and punk57 because of you steoh i love ur book videos so much!!!🥰💓

this was a trip down memory lane 😭🫶 I remember ur og videos back in 2020 such nostalgia

i’m so so so excited for everything to come for you!! + super grateful that you’re sharing your journey with us :))

pls do a reading vlog when you finally read alone with you in the ether! it’s such a beautifully written book

honestly was a little “ahhhhh” about ur idea but the was you executed it made ur shelves look ADORABLE like WHAT

Looks so cute. I also love that organic, lived-in feel.

I'm not sure if you made a video about this already but please review your bookshelf and recommend what to read. You have so many books that look so interesting and are outside of book Tok. (I just believe TikTok cycles the same books and it's hard to find new ones)

Fab results! Congrats on achieving the library of your dreams despite the IKEA trauma. Having room on your shelves is great. I think I would leave the top shelves more empty for now and also add lots of plants and spread out the TBR according to genre. Add some memorabilia would be a nice touch to make it more "your space". I love the idea of a string of lights to make it cozy. I love having a TBR section for books I want to read next and books from the library and that I have borrowed. I do try to read those first, to varying degrees of success depending on my moods. TBH, I feel like any books one hates should go on to new readers, to make room for other books.

Get a lamp for the library, i feel like it would give warm and cozy vibe

I love this vibe so much Steph! And you are absolutely right you have so much time to fill them up! It will be such a great feeling to buy a new book and placing it in your own library ❤️

You should definitely put some cute little plant pots there, that will make it look much more attractive and yk the girly bookshelf thing

when i was a kid/ teenager i used to read constant, than life got busy and tired after work me choose phone over books most of the time. You inspire me tho

totally get a floor light that warm & some pillar candles!! so cozy! so cute!

If you like small town romances I really recommend Stephanie Archer’s series about Queen’s Cove which is a small town series, they HIT. I read the Queen’s Cove series (4 books) in one week because they were so good 😭

Can you do a video where you re-read old books from where you were in high school and talk about how you remember them and how you would rate it now?

I looove the organized chaos look. Lived in is so much cozier to me than everything perfect and straight 😅

The shelf in your bedroom still looks really good even though it is no longer blue and white. ❤

Hey stephh, u should make a separate shelf for the books u receive from your fans..especially the books they write...smth like that..its just a suggestion. Btw loved the videoo✨️✨️😭😭💖❣️❣️

Omg I love your new bookshelves! I’m excited to see what you do with the space! And on the empty wall on the left wall you should hang artwork from your fav books on there or something! ❤️

Awesome to see a library room and compare to when you had the books stacked in your mini studio 😊

The way i immediately clicked on the notification button. Never been this fast in my WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE. you light up my days!❤

I just finished making dinner and Im gonna eat it while watching this video and it’s the perfect vibes 🫶🏼

the way i run to youtube when i see that you posted on ur story ahhh ily ily💌

Maybe you could put plants at the top that drape down that would look so pretty

I absolutely love your library! 📚 I would put up some curtains? To separate it from the entry area / give it cozy vibes 🥰

I agree! I love the messy bookshelfs. It feels so homey 🫶

Instantly my day is better when I see Steph posted

Your library needs a deep cozy chair and a nice reading light, cozy rug.

Your DIMILY mention did not go unnoticed omg I used to wait for Estelle to drop new chapters

THE FACT THAT YOU HAVENT READ ACOTAR IS UNBELIEVABLE ITS A MASTERPIECE

I don't understand why people keep books they don't like.

U know it’s gonna be a good day when Steph posts 🤍

you could also make a frame with you fav book markers and hang it on your wall that would be so cute!!

i love how you don't like things perfect you like them to have a homey or used feel to them and i admire you for that it inspires me ❤

books and steph my favorite favorite combo

i’ve been waiting for this one! obsessed!

Omg, I saw the invisible life of Addie larue on your tbr shelf in your room! PLEASE READ IT

Nice video but instead of the Swedish shelves, have you considered solid wood bookcases? Last so much longer and you can donate/sell them when you get tired of them.

Omg did I see “no tomorrow” by Carian Cole on the tbr shelf? That book is so amazing and so underrated, highly recommend!!!

highlight of my day when Steph posts ❤️

Steph's vlogs are literally my comfort videos especially trying to get through the final weeks of the fall semester

Omg i LOVE your bookcase style, im going for this messy style too. LOVEEE IT

Hey I love your videos and love seeing your books and travel vlogs! Could you recommend books with a rockstar aesthetic please? Thanks!

Steph you should def read bridgerton! it's SO good and worth it. I personally read it out of order (if you don't mind minor spoilers mentioned in the previous books) but I don't really think you need to read in order! I started with Colin's and ended with eloise!

You can honestly read Bridgerton at your own pace. Its separate love stories of all the siblings with minor mentions/ inclusions of the other siblings so you can read them very far apart from each other and you wont feel like youre missing a lot.

I feel like ive been waiting years for this video omg. this cured me

back to back vlogs!! i was rewatching her bday vlog woo i'm so happy!!

love this vid! can you do a tier rank of book boyfriends? Love u steph

Petition for another collab w/ Jack Edwards

Thankful for Steph videos 💖 She is the best

omg i remember most of those from 2020, when you asked who has read them, i went " meee🙋‍♀🙋‍♀" cuz you told me to, back in the day lol

Baby this is our dream library omg. It’s beautiful

Love the library though the book wall will always be iconic 💕

Hey Steph, enjoyed watching this video so much and while I was watching it , I saw that you have a book that I've read and really loved . It's just a cozy read for me while I'm just in my balcony sipping coffee. The book is " Before the coffee gets cold " its kind of a series (are 4 books in total).I hope you read it one day , would really love to see you read and react to it or even just to know your thoughts on it. Thank you for inspiring me to read more books, lots of love from India 💗 ✨

Pro tip… I had a task rabbit tell me once that when you’re building flag packs like from ikea, you should use some wood glue to make them more secure..

finally , another person who loves mariana zapata 😭😭

i have never been so happy as to see fourth wing and iron flame which are my current obsessions unitl my special edition off campus series get to me

Omg the room will be the perfect reading nook room ❤ love ittttt

can you pleaseeee do a reading vlog of acotar?

Love that you went a non bookstore approach.

you MUST do an acotar reading vlog. i can already tell you'll freak out over the second book.

Steph posted, and now my day is completed

I love your videos and your asthetic so much ,I can just listen to you all day and believe me I have done that ,I have watched your vlogs multiple time . Love you alot from india❤️❤️❤️
