🌙 ABOUT ME 🌙
Hi! My name is Alice and I love books! I read just about everything from classics to contemporary fiction to all kinds of non-fiction, and love reviewing, recommending and just generally having a chat about literature. I currently live in Oslo, Norway.

Your flip-flopping between "you shouldn't keep a book just for its cover" and "I'm going to keep this because I like the cover" was entertaining.

[glassmarbles]

I laughed when you said, "Maybe I should let this one go" about Never Let Me Go. A little bit of unintentional humor.

I loved seeing your gorgeous shelves. It’s always so challenging and yet rewarding to do a book purge.

[trulyintroverted]

I've said it before but I'm going to say it again: You have some of the best editions of books ever and if there's one person on YT whose shelves I envy, it's yours!

That said, you are a much, much stronger person than I am, because I'd have kept almost every book because of how pretty it looked, or how it was a part of a collection and I can't split collections, or some other self justifying reason lol

[RyeMiArt]

ahhh, your library is AMAZING! Loved going through all the books you have instead of just showing what you got rid of as many others are doing [nothing wrong with that, I just enjoyed this format much more]

[joyh.]

Watching your annual Book Purge videos is somehow comforting.

[radiantchristina]

Loved this. Very entertaining. I always like to see peoples logic behind which books to unhaul.
It used to pain me to unhaul unread books but now it is easier.
My system is this..
No unread book can live on my shelves for more than 2 years.
As for read books, those I sort through annually. If I will never reread it, it goes.

I'm just re-reading The Starless Sea for the 5th time and I have to tell you that if you want ✨cosy vibes✨, it delivers 😄A lot of people didn't like it because it's structured like a fairy tale video game, with interludes and stories woven into a puzzle, and you have to figure out how all the pieces fit together and who the characters are, and just enjoy the writing style, but the characters are not very developed because... they're meant to be video game characters. It has incredible world building and having followed you for years, I'm 90% sure you're going to love it. It's an autumn book at heart, even though I'm reading it now, but it's perfect for whenever you feel like escaping to an underground library.

Omg the way I just squealed when I saw this 😂🥰 These book purges are my absolute favourite comfort videos

[RachelB.BookReferences]

I don't like to keep too many unread books on hand and I had a couple that hit the 2 year mark recently. My rule was supposedly one year, lol. I finally just gave them away and I feel so much better. It's strictly the library from here on out!

[heyitslori]

I’m going to try and convince you to keep The Toymakers. It’s good! I read it every winter. Always 5 stars. C’mon just pop it back on the shelf. 😂

[Minauses]

Maybe I just can't find it but if you didn't, could you film a physical tbr? 🤓 Love seeing so many favorites on your shelves and what I love even more is seeing peoples tbr's to see what of my favorites they read hehe

[gbuireh]

I really like watching a good bookpurge. I wish I lived near you and could go to that market, you've donated so many beautiful and interesting books!

[teresaharris-travelbybooks]

I don't purge books any more. When I had more disposable income, I bought books 📚 constantly and would read them and donate them to the library. But now, I make more thoughtful purchases and keep them all. When I think of all the books I've discarded, it causes a great deal of remorse. I am also relying more on the library, when I need new inspiration.

[kineshashekhar]

When I suddenly saw The Song of Achilles on your shelf I was like: 😮Your books are so aesthetic I swear to God they’re so pretty❤

[KetevanReads]
