Bookshelf Tour: High Fantasy, Part V

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 | Urban Fantasy, Part I, II, III, IV & Classics | Top of Shelves | High Fantasy, Part I, II, III, IV. 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.

This is it, friends! The last stop on the bookshelf tour, and we’re going out in style. I can’t believe this is over. I’m going to be so confused trying to come up with new things to post. By doing these only biweekly, I’ve stretched this for 10 months, which is just crazy. I started this back in February, and I guess I really didn’t realize how long it would take to go through 600+ books. Anyway, enjoy!

The tarot shelf! In addition to a sweet happy Buddha on top of a sandalwood myrrh candle, a fat Buddha & clear quartz infused with black tourmaline on top of a bergamot rose candle, a golden hand holding the most massive piece of pyrite ever, and one of my favorite signs ever that my best friend got me, I’ve got a heck ton of tarot decks. I got White Sage in Salem @ Circle of Stitches, The Lovely Omens online @ Keeley Elle, The Wild Unknown online @ Kim Krans, The Raven’s Prophecy (this is in the ornate wooden box under the flowers) & The Scorpio Sea (not pictured) online @ Maggie Stiefvater, and The Linestrider in Salem @ Circle of Stitches (this is in the ornate wooden box next to The Queen’s Thief). And the two flowers are my maid of honor bouquet (peach) from Erin’s wedding and her centerpieces (blue, behind).

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

My The Dark Crystal graphic novels are stacked over here instead of with the other graphic novels because I originally had them stacked next to the others, but they were taking up too much room, and I wanted to keep them with the other fantasies.

    Love it! I’m happy to see Sabaa Tahir’s series there–can’t wait for the final book of that series. 🙂

    […] Last year, I did a bookshelf tour for most of the year, and I took pretty nice quality pictures of each of the shelves, including all the crystals and other knickknacks on them, so if you’re curious what, exactly, I have, check it out! […]
