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.

Another who the heck knows shelf. Again, I’m mad, like last week, because I just rearranged these to accommodate all my new contemporaries for Pride, and all of these classics are now on a lower shelf, which has made a whole ton of room. I don’t often put things on my very bottom shelves because I can’t see or access them without taking my entire bed out of my room, but I figured, since these were all mostly classics I’d read, they could just be shoved down there. Alas, they’re still with the rest of the space books. This is also my not contemporary, not magical realism, not romance, not urban fantasy book stack at the end. Like, some of them have romance in them, but they’re not really about the romance, and I just didn’t know where else to put them.

A very sparse display of crystals here. We’ve got a single tea light (I don’t know why), a small desert rose selenite, a really cool four-pointed clear quartz with a triangle on top from Erin, a big slab of selenite, a Tibetan wind horse statue, and a birthday cake candle that somehow smells exactly like birthday cake frosting.

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

My top three in this section is:
