Hi all!
I have been wanting to make this post for quite some time and now…my beautiful little bookshelf is finally ready to be presented! Today I am going to be sharing not only the books on my shelf but also the objects that accompany them. As you can see in the overall image, my organisation system of choice is colour-coordination. I adore seeing rainbow shelves online so I did the same for mine. The two shelves on the bottom left are not colour-coordinated because they are a bit random but the complete right side is. The majority of the books you will see are YA (Young-Adult). I have more than this but they are currently stored away. Once Francis and I buy our house, I will be able to set them up on my larger bookcase and post an updated tour.
If you were wondering, I purchased this shelf at Target in Australia. I love the box-like design. You may notice that the white and wood are mismatched. This is because Francis and I put it together incorrectly and couldn’t be bothered changing it over haha!
MY MINI RAINBOW BOOKSHELF!
At the very top, I have my plushies: (Misa-Misa from Death Note, Niko the Shy Cat, Artemis the White Cat, Willy the Whale and Cluckers the Chicken). Underneath them is The Disney Book: A Celebration of the World of Disney. It is filled with fun facts, beautiful images and information about all of the films. The heart runner across the top was a purchase from the Oxfam store.
Also resting on The Disney Book is my bookmark box. If you wish for me to post a bookmark collection blog, let me know!

We now leave the rainbow-section and enter a more miscellaneous area. From left to right, we have:

Back when I was a teenager, I read the first 4 books and the 5th never came to my local library so I couldn’t continue. Now, I am currently reading it all over again and loving where I left off – highly recommend!

I have read every one of her books and own them all. Each one is 5/5 stars!
On the far left, I have a pack of Shadowhunter Tarot Cards which I purchased from Cassandra Clare’s website. The artwork is stunning and each card features one of the many incredible characters from the Shadowhunter series. I have read every Shadowhunter/Cassandra Clare book so far.
So that was my mini-rainbow bookshelf tour! I truly hope you enjoyed it. Let me know which books you recommend I read next & what your favourite YA read this year has been so far. For me, it’s definitely Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
Thank you for reading. Peace & Love xoxo
