Since I enjoyed annotating my shelves so much I decided to share a little more. So this shelf is a little more aimed towards classics and modern classics, but not strictly. After the image I will link all of the book titles to their goodreads accounts so you can learn more about them. Also, on this shelf I read a total of 6 books out of the 9. Not to bad if you ask me.
Oddly, I forgot to annotate for Isherwood’s A Single Man, it was heart breaking, but beautiful.
The Books
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle
The Life Changing Manga of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Prater Violet by Christopher Isherwood
Down There on a Visit by Christopher Isherwood
A Meeting by the River by Christopher Isherwood
A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood
Christopher and His Kind by Christopher Isherwood
*All links go to their goodreads pages.
I love this post idea! I hope you love the books you have yet to read. I only read A Study in Scarlet and Pride and Prejudice of the ones mentioned but loved them both!

I love them both too. I am glad you like this idea so much Lia. 🙂 I have about 7 more shelves to go on this book shelve alone. So you are going to see quite a few more.

So jealous of that copy of Pride and Prejudice!! Penguin Clothbound 😮 I love my classics, I have one penguin clothbound, some new paperbacks, a lot of old ones and then some small hardbacks. I’ve read all of Jane Austen, have two copies of Jane Eyre but none are good copies.

I tend to borrow my classics and then if I like them I buy copies I really like. I don’t read them that often so it is about 2-3 a year.

That’s a good idea, I should’ve done that. I used to only have a few but went a bit mad and bought a lot. I would prefer to have copies I really like and buy less too

It is a hard thing to do, especially with books. I constantly want to buy more of them.

Same, I think when it gets nice outside I will start to read it. Even though it is set in Russian, I feel like I want to read it when the weather is warm and I can sit outside with a class of ice tea.
