Hi, folks!

3) Newest addition to this shelf:

Fellow blogger Deborah Rose Reeves joined in the meme, and posted two of her shelves on her blog and on her Instagram account. It was lovely to read about her bookshelves.

Feel free to do this tag, too! As always, I’d love to peruse your bookshelves 🙂

Yours truly,

J.
