A Grand Tour of the Bookshelf

It is time for another Bookshelf Tour! At least according to me. ^_^ I got some (amazing) new books, did some rearranging ... and some more rearranging ... hehe. So I just want to share some pictures and all. I don't have an exact method of organizing as of now. I put my small books on top of my bookshelf. Then the fantasy and dystopain/sci-fi are grouped together. After that ... well, it's just random historicals with a couple contemporaries mixed in. My "children" books (and some other random historicals) are currently stored away. My Christian living/self-help are on top of my dresser.

(And someday, I really want to do a youtube video touring my bookshelf! I've seen a lot them, and they're so fun! So I must try it out for myself someday. *grins*)

**Note: Not all books are pictured. Not enough shelf space!**
