I'm super excited to participate in this fun hop hosted by Crystal @ Bookiemoji and Kristen @ My Friends Are Fiction. It's all about sharing pictures of our bookshelves, and it gave me amazing motivation to do a major cleanup and re-organize my one lone wolf. And I have to say, I'm pretty proud of it. This is the ONLY actual bookshelf I own. How sad is that? So much sadder since not all of my books fit onto it, and I had to improvise. Anyway, the top shelf contains my all-time faves. Like, favorite authors such as Brighton Walsh and Rachel Harris, and favorite series/standalones. And then there are some special signed/personalized ones that I will treasure forever, like Nina Lane’s two books and Tessa Ever After. I also managed to complete my ARC collection of The Remnant Chronicles and the Under the Never Sky series, so I love displaying them. And of course, I’ve got my growing POP collection to show off as well. :)

The 2nd shelf contains unread books that I MUST READ ASAP. Like, I want to read all of them at the same time and I wish I could. Many are ones I’d been excited about before they were even published, and then I never had the chance to read them. Some complete series, and then there are a few ARCs that I would like to get to before their 2016 release dates. The 3rd shelf contains MORE unread books, but these are ones that I’m not rushing off to read just yet. I would like to get to all of them at SOME point in the near future, but they aren’t a priority. The 4th shelf are books I read and loved/enjoyed immensely. They aren’t all-time favorites, but I adore having them on display here (though some are only on here because they didn’t fit on the top, I’m just saying. There are quite a few that were amazing enough to go up there). And the bottom, the 5th “shelf,” contains ALL THE SERIES. No, but seriously, it is stacked in so tightly, double-edged, because I have so many that I’ve started/haven’t started/don’t own all of them yet so I can’t start them, and I needed all of that space for them. Story time: I actually made this floating shelf in 7th grade, WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS. I had a woodshop class (I don’t even remember how I got into it), and we got to build a bookshelf. So I’m kinda proud I did it, and that I’m using it again. I stopped putting books up there because it got so dusty, and it was hard to clean. But I’m going to try harder doing that because I definitely needed this space as well, and since I’ve read all of these (favorite childhood series on the right, favorite adult authors on the left), I thought it’d nice to put them out of the way but still display them. Also I needed a bookend, so my jar of Lake Superior sand (yes, I have beach sand in a jar on my shelf DON’T JUDGE ME) is keeping them from falling over. :p

So yeah, that’s pretty much it! I do have like a desk in my closet that is stacked of books also, but it’s a mess and it’s not something I wanted to show. It has unread and read books as well, so it’s a mixed disaster. Haha. Anyway, this is what I have. It’s not enough for the amount of books I have, obviously, so a new bookshelf is a MUST for Christmas/birthday. But where put to it, now that is the question.. :D
