Bookshelf Tour: Urban Fantasy, Part I

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

And so it begins! The young adult fantasy books are possibly the only shelves that are actually going to be exactly what they should be. There’s going to be one stuck randomly in the middle that’ll be weird because it’s the second half of my classics, but everything else is pretty much kept together. These young adult shelves are also super stuffed because I just have so much and too little room, haha.

The herbs creeping in on the left are sea leaves (I think), and they’re obscuring a beautiful pale Ganesha. Next to that are the Spirit Cats oracle cards, which are adorable, and more black crystals–tumbled & raw smoky quartz, a big very lightly smoky quartz point cluster, raw obsidian (I think), a terrifying black obsidian ball that feels a bit evil sometimes, raw snowflake obsidian, a tumble snowflake obsidian tower, tumbled hematite, a fist-sized smoky quartz on top of a cranberry dahlia candle, black kyanite, and a Tibetan prayer wheel.

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

    You should TOTALLY read Chain of Gold! It was one of my favorites from this year, and I’d definitely recommend it if you loved her other Shadowhunter books!

      It’s such a good read for when you don’t want to think too hard about what you’re reading, you know?
