Bookshelf Tour: Horror & Classics

Welcome to the third week of the bookshelf tour! Previously: Nonfiction | Buddhism & Yoga | Poetry & Adult Fiction | Adult Fiction & Graphic Novels. ICYMI, since I’m not on Booktube, and never will be, I wanted to travel through my shelves on a biweekly adventure on the blog. Since these are going to be pretty long, I won’t ramble on, so let’s get to it! About half of these are read, though probably only a handful are reviewed, so I’ll link to Goodreads if it’s available.

This is a weird shelf because my classics are split up on so many different shelves, but it’s also my entire horror collection, and I wanted to not split up Tolkien, so it was either classics or something else that went up here. I’ll link each title to Goodreads, as well as drop star ratings if I’ve read them.

They’re cut off, but I have two herbs hanging on either side–golden orange amaranthus & sea leaves. For what’s actually on the shelf: Buddha, tumbled flourite, raw flourite, light green tourmaline, a few tree agates, a very large tree agate, a couple of nondescript random green tumbled, lemongrass candle with a dark green tourmaline on it, another stone that I’m not sure of, and my favorite wooden weeping Buddha.

And without the stuff so you can actually see the books.

Horror

MY JOE HILL COLLECTION! AT LAST! Look at how beautiful it is! I own every single one of his books, with the exception of Heart-Shaped Box, which I’ve read, but didn’t love, so didn’t buy my own copy, and 20th Century Ghosts, which I haven’t read yet.

    Peter Pan is a wondeful book. It came as quite a surprise when I read it to my children when they were young, that there is so much hidden in the text for grown-ups too. I always remember the opening passage, describing how Mrs Darling tidies her children’s minds up while they are asleep – and discovers that Wendy’s has “Peter” written all over it…
