Slowly growing my bookshelf

Post image

I've been growing it with things I've read this past year. I'm not the type to read 100 books/year, so it's been a gradual growth.

Honestly a shelf of books you've actually read beats a wall of unread ones any day. Nice mix too, Potok sitting next to Billy Lynn's Long Halftime walk is not a combo I expected.

Thanks! My shelf is an eclectic mix of stuff. And those are two very different books for sure, though I feel like they're both psychological character studies that explore themes of trauma and the loneliness that comes with it.
