Annotating My Bookshelf | May 2019

Hello everyone, I am here to share the books on the two bookshelves I own. This time around I am going to do them all in one post instead of once a week. Like last time I am going to share a picture and comment on it. The only difference is I will have dividers between sections. Without more rambling, onto the shelves!

This is my most loved classics, I have The Hobbit, 3 editions of Little Women, it is my all time favorite novel/series if you didn’t know that already. I also have The Complete Sherlock Holmes and A Little Princess.

This is a continuation of classics, but these are more modern classics. I have a total of 7 Shirley Jackson novels/short stories. I have The Missing Girl, The Haunting of Hill House, Hangsaman, We Have Always Lived in the Castle,  The Lottery and Other Stories, The Sundial, and The Bird’s Nest. Following that I have quite a few Christopher Isherwood books as well. I have A Single Man, Prater Violet, Meeting by the River, Christopher and His Kind, Down There on a Visit, and Kathleen and Frank. The last book on this shelf is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
