Hello Everyone,
Happy Sunday!
Welcome to my first book-shelf tour of 2018 !!!!!
This week I was blessed with my new bookshelf! I love it so much. I craved for a new pristine white bookshelf to match the furniture in my bedroom ever since I moved back into this bedroom. My bedroom is small, it barely fits a dresser and queen-size bed from IKEA. Having the large brown bookshelf took all the room up and stressed me out. I swear I was reorganizing the books almost every week. It took too much time away from more important things and having books all over the floor (remember, no room) and was irrational to keep doing it. Every time I turn my attention to my bookshelf, I cringed of how crowded and messy it became. It was double stack of books. I knew in my head I could not keep ALL my books in my room without going insane of keeping it tidy. With this Evelyn style 5-stack bookshelf, I was able to have it beside my dresser and tidy the area surrounding.
Building the bookshelf took half a day. The instructions were pictures with arrows pointing all over the place. In my head, I had great determination to this solo. No other help. I began to glue (Yes glue!) and it hit me in the face that gluing, clamping and screwing in the screws can not be done by one person. Maybe if I had four hands, then yes. I texted my friend who live close in the neighbourhood and she assisted. We managed to carry it up stairs all by ourselves. Then eat pizza as a reward.
I been really wanted to show my bookshelf for almost 6 months now and its finally happening. No, I will not have a video because I tried in the past and it got deleted repeatedly. Another thing, I struggle with pronouncing names and do not wish to butcher a name and lastly, I get anxious just thinking of capturing and editing for a five-minute video. I can’t do it. I praised booktubers who do it on the daily. Underneath each picture, I have written all the books, whether it’s a paperback, hardcover or arc, and the author name (in gold lettering and where I got my bookish merch and prints.
Enjoy !
