Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
Let me start to say. Hi, Welcome and Thank you.
It has been a while and not the short kind!
I was thinking for the longest time on what type of video I would make to get back into the grew of making youtube videos. So I went back to the basics. Making an updated Graphic Novel Collection video felt the safest and most familiar.
I want to thank everyone that watched the video, welcoming me back and all the new subscribers that came with it.
Right now I´m sitting thinking of what I could make up next, and have a few ideas and we will see what will stick. But I think I´m gonna have to go on and really make videos that I would want to watch, and not what I think others would want to watch if I am to gonna be able to stick with it longterm again.
And for those that has been wondering where I have been and what I´ve been doing for the 18 month absense. I have simply been trying to get my video and photography business of the ground. A video I would gladly make and share my so far experience in.
Meanwhile, when you are waiting for the next video. You can check out and follow my Instagram. The pics are on just a few new things that has arrived lately.
Hope everyone will have a great weekend, it was great hearing from you all, keep your eye open for the next video!

Well, it´s been a while. in more sence than one. Cause this latest video carries a title I thought we wouldn´t see again, after starting pre-ordering books from dcbs. But there were a few books (already published) that I had to get my hands on cause curiosity got the better of me.
The lack of videos is due to me working both 50% on my retailjob and as many % as I can with my own business.
I would like to make a video on that as I would like to argue that to many comic books are a mean of distraction and escapism. And I don´t want them to be that for me. I want to create a life that I don´t have to escape from. And that means some sacrifices. But in the end will be all worth it. More on it for a future video.
Til then, enjoy a classic Instocktrades haul video!

Almost stressed getting this video out. But just like when you try tomake yourself the promise to re-read all of your books. You´re gonna have to tell yourself the hard truth. That this is gonna take time!
Rightfully so. Got a new video ready for you. And this one focus on how I re-read over 600 books in 4 years time. Hopefully it can Inspire you to re-read some of your own favorite books. And might find some books along the way that you might sell of to a fellow collector.
Thanks for all the support on the latest videos!

Took another week to finish making this video. And I think I will take my good time to make a better video rather than have a new one ready each and every week.
In this video I will talk about 5 tips on how I balance within my collection and collecting habits.
Something that I feel that I have a decent hold on and hope can help others that feel that they don´t.
All feedback is welcomed and if you have smart tip for how to balance your collection, drop a comment down below!
Happy reading!

You haven´t missed it have you?
This haul made me a little nostalgic. Back to when I used to pump these videos out monthly. But I must say I enjoy my books even more having to wait a little bit longer to receive them. Hope this video will take you back also. And subscribe for more :)

- Okey, having over a months time gap in between the new videos maybe wasn´t in my original plan.
But on Friday I will have a new video uploaded and ready for you all to enjoy.
Much in the same spirit as the videos where I take my time in unboxing and looking through one of my new books.
This one I would say pretty much goes under that same feel and I hope you will enjoy it for what it is. I had fun editing it at least!
See you on Friday!

Long time no see!
I hope you´ve had a happy holiday and looking forward for a new year.
The year of 2022 was big for me. Cause I had several realisations on what I want to do.
And what I don´t want!
But I do miss the sense of community. And the craft of making videos is something that I want to explore more of. But as long as I tie myself to certain topics, like for example comic books. I would feel pretty stuck creativly.
So if I am to start uploading videos on this channel and you´ll be along for the ride, expect that it´s probably not gonna be what the channel was focusing on about in the past.
I still buy and read comic books and practise minimalism into my life routine.
So what you´ll see will probably be more of a vlog style, or different topics that I got going around in my head. Other books that I´ve read, like actual novel books and how they have helped me in some sort of way too "hack" my lifestyle.
So I guess we´re going for more personal side of things. But time will tell.
Oh, and I started up my own business this year! So there is the short version of why you haven´t seen me around much this year!
Anyways, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to you all!

Yes! We finaly have a new video live on the channel. This one is of the 2021 Heroes Comic-Con in Stockholm Sweden. Which took me way to long to finnish editing might I add. That's the downside of not setting a deadline. Anyways. I hope you will enjoy it!

Have you ever applied The Paretos law, to any part of your life to try to make your life more efficient.
If you're not aware of: the paretos law. It is also known as the: 20/80 principle.
It is a phenomenon that states that roughly 20% of our actions and choices stands for 80% of our outcomes.
Example:
-We use maybe 20% of all of our clothes in the closet 80% of the year.
Now why?
When you apply the paretos law or the 20/80 principle, you can get an overview on what actually matters and what is actually just taking up time and space when we just want more of it.
So I am personally gonna try to apply this to my own graphic novel collection. And see what 20% of my books I probably would read 80% of the time.
So to sell off the once I wouldn't bother reading as often anyways and gain back money and space and efficiate the satisfaction of reading my favorite books.
We all want to make the most of it, can we have a collection giving 100% satisfaction 100% of the time we read them, probably not.
But we can always try.
Now, what would you apply the paretos law too?
