Bookshelf Essentials

I appreciate the digital world and the freedom it offers but some books need to be appreciated through the turning of pages and then placed on a bookshelf as a reminder of sorts. Bookshelves also don’t have to solely contain books and mine has a good number of random things on it from time to time.

Here are some things on my shelf that I thought are worth sharing.
