This is the final installment of the bookshelf tour! Today, you'll see the bottom shelf of my big 5-shelf bookcase that holds the classics and most of my SFF collection. The books on this shelf are primarily mass-market paperbacks that are double-shelved so they don't take up all the space on the rest of the … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour pt. 9: Science Fiction and Fantasy: The Return of the Mass-Market Paperbacks

Bookshelf Tour pt. 8: Science Fiction and Fantasy: The Two Shelves
We're moving along to the next two shelves of my SFF bookcase. More of my favorite books reside on these shelves. Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances by Neil Gaiman Neverwhere (Author's Preferred Edition) by Neil Gaiman The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman Stardust by … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour pt. 8: Science Fiction and Fantasy: The Two Shelves
Bookshelf Tour, pt. 7: Science Fiction and Fantasy: The Fellowship of the Books
Now we come to it. My favorite genre: Science Fiction and Fantasy. There are four shelves of SFF books, with the bottom one being double-shelved thanks to the size and quantity of the mass-market paperbacks. The graphic novels are together, and everything is (mostly) arranged alphabetically by author. I'll go through just the top shelf … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour, pt. 7: Science Fiction and Fantasy: The Fellowship of the Books
Bookshelf Tour, pt. 6: Classics
In this installment of the bookshelf tour, we've left the living room and arrived at the bookcase in the bedroom. It's a 5-shelf case, and all the shelves are devoted to books. The top shelf contains classics-- primarily the hardcover Everyman's Library editions that I love and the black-spined Penguin classics, plus a few random … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour, pt. 6: Classics
Bookshelf Tour, pt. 5: Tolkien
Part five of my bookshelf tour! Next up is the third bookcase in my living room. It's a 2-shelf bookcase that the TV and blu-ray player live on top of, but the important things are the shelves. Take one look at them, and you will quickly figure out that J.R.R. Tolkien is my favorite author. … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour, pt. 5: Tolkien
Bookshelf Tour pt. 3: Historical Fiction and Oversized Books
Part three! We've left the studio and have entered the living room! My gray shelves have been with me since college. There's nothing special about them-- I think we bought them at Walmart or someplace like that, but my Dad reinforced them and made them incredibly sturdy. I keep painting them whenever my overall home … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour pt. 3: Historical Fiction and Oversized Books
Bookshelf Tour, pt. 2: Nonfiction
We're continuing with the bookshelf tour! This bookcase is the second one in my little studio- the one where my nonfiction lives. I don't have as much nonfiction as I do fiction, and I'm less likely to keep nonfiction once I've read it. My nonfiction titles are loosely arranged by the Dewey Decimal system, though … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour, pt. 2: Nonfiction
Bookshelf Tour, pt. 1: Fiction, Memoir, and Poetry
Thank you to those of who voted in my little poll from a while back. You voted for a bookshelf tour, so here we go. Unlike those lovely walls of shelving you see in drool-worthy shots on BookTube, Bookstagram, or home design magazines, my bookcases are spread out across my little apartment. In my living … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour, pt. 1: Fiction, Memoir, and Poetry
