Welcome to the bookshelf tour! Previously: Nonfiction | Buddhism & Yoga | Poetry & Adult Fiction | Adult Fiction & Graphic Novels | Horror & Classics | Tolkien. 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.
My young adult is separated by genre, and my fantasy shelf is a literal full bookshelf, not just one shelf inside of the larger one, so while this is the start of my YA collection, it’s nowhere near the end, and there will be others broken up in between. However, I’m pretty impressed by the amount of YA contemporary romance I have. Most of what I read is urban fantasy, magical realism, or high fantasy, so it’s nice to see I have an entire shelf dedicated to just fluff.
As always, we’ll chat about the what first. We’ve got one of my favorite and most-detailed Ganesha statues, raw aquamarine, pale kyanite on top of a eucalyptus & rosemary candle, tumbled earth agate in several different sizes, a huge tumbled sodalite on top of another eucalyptus & rosemary candle (look, my tastes are very predictable), two tumbled blue goldstones that you can’t really see, raw mostly blue flourite, angelite cluster, two pieces of raw sodalite, and one of my favorite candles, evergreen forest & moss.
And without the stuff so you can actually see the books.
