Hi, folks!
This is post number five of a series of photos documenting my bookshelves. I thought it would be interesting to create a meme/tag for it, so I am calling this series/meme/tag #knowthyshelf:
1) Book from this shelf you would save in an emergency:

8) What does this shelf tell YOU about ME as a reader?
Feel free to do this tag, too! As always, I’d love to peruse your bookshelves 🙂
Yours truly,

Well, I don’t think I’d be going out on a limb to guess that you love the Brontes…… 😉

Your shelf tells me 1) We both like the Brontes (and anyone who would save Agnes Grey in an emergency is ‘ok’ in my book!), 2) You really, really like the Brontes, 3) Though you like the Brontes you do have other tastes.
Glad to ‘meet’ you!
