The Bookshelf

Book Tag

This tag was created by Natalie and can be found here.
I moved recently and had to organize my books again, since I changed bookshelves, and decided to do this.
          Some "rules":
              The book (s) you answer with must be from your bookshelf.
              And include a picture of your bookshelf if you'd like to and if possible

Your bookshelf

Read, read, read,
