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 so pleased to have so many middle grade books that I was actually able to separate between subgenres and have more than one shelf. This is the first of two and a half, and it starts with contemporary middle grade and shifts into fantasy. I don’t have the fantasy separated between urban & high, and now that I’m realizing that, I’d really like to go back and separate them because I actually think I have enough.
A purple shelf! We’ve got a wonderfully big amethyst cluster that Erin got me on top of a soothing crystal candle, clear quartz point, painted elephant that my mom got me, a tiny amethyst point that you can’t really see on top of a dried lavender & sage candle, tumbled amethyst, two pieces of raw lepidolite on either side of a huge tumbled amethyst on top of another lavender candle, and a fist-sized raw rose quartz on top of a white tea & lavender candle. Yes, lavender is one of my favorite scents.
And without the stuff so you can actually see the books.
