Welcome to the bookshelf tour! Previously: Nonfiction | Buddhism & Yoga | Poetry & Adult Fiction | Adult Fiction & Graphic Novels | Horror & Classics | Tolkien | Contemporary Romance. 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.

I’m actually really impressed with the fact that 99% of these are actually magic & research! There are two contemporary romances that I couldn’t fit on the shelf above, but other than that, this entire shelf is every book about mythology, faeries, mythical creatures, witchcraft, etc. that I’ve been able to find.

And we have another chakra shelf! I think I put them sporadically throughout, so we’ve got what’s actually on the shelf–a plot twist candle that Erin got for me under a very reflective Buddha, a foo lion, a crystal for each chakra (don’t ask me, these are the tumbled ones, so I have no idea), a bookstore candle that Jen got me, and a rainy day reads candle that Erin got me under what I’m pretty sure is just a legit rock, another foo lion, and my massive blue pillar throat chakra candle that I’m never going to be able to burn all the way down.

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