I think we all know what a bookshelf tour is at this point. If you watch Booktube than you know that Bookshelf tours are a big deal and often expected. I’ve been wanting to do one myself for so long but I honestly had no idea how to go about it because the idea of doing a bookshelf tour all in one blog post is pretty daunting so I thought I would give it a go but break up my shelves as I go. I also am not fond of talking about every single book on my shelves, so I thought I would recommend some of the books, via each shelf – ignoring the books I’m not fond of. Hence, this post! I decided to go shelf by shelf recommending my favourite books on my shelves and I hope you guys enjoy!
Let me know if you’d like to see more posts in this series and more bookshelf tour recommendations!

THE RAVEN CYCLE
I don’t know that I even need to really recommend this series at this point, but for the purposes of keeping this post honest about what I have on my shelves, I’m going to include it!
This is a really fantastic and character-based series! This series has basically no plot and mostly just focuses on the main characters. Each of the characters is completely unique to each other and there is pretty much a character for every reader to relate to, for me, it’s Adam Parrish.
THE LUNAR CHRONICLES
Okay, I need to read this series asap. I included these books in my latest Books I Need to Re-read post! I plan on continuing my re-read of the series soon so hopefully, I’ll love it just as much as I did the first time.
I loved these books when I first read them and I really enjoy the fun sci-fi twist on fairytales. It has been a couple of years since I picked these books back up and I still think about them all the time. The characters are all really fun, and unlike The Raven Cycle, this does have a lot more of a plot. I don’t know if i’m really selling this series to you guys, but I swear I love these books!
STARBOUND TRILOGY
I love this trilogy and I have no shame! This is a really fun trilogy full lots of cheesy romance and a really cool plot. Each book is a companion novel and they all connect at the end! It also has a really great finale that I really enjoyed when I read it. My favourite book in the series would have to be book one purely because I love the characters SO MUCH but, I love this whole trilogy and hope you guys do too!
SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT
I just found out that there’s an 11th book in this series that was recently released and I’m honestly so mad I didn’t know about it! I love this series and somehow I am now two books behind and it’s kind of stressing me out because I love these books so much and I need to know why the author decided to start writing the books again (the main series stopped a few years ago at book 9). Anyway, this book series is fantastic, there is so much beautiful and sassy banter and I just love it so so much???
CARAVAL TRILOGY
So, I know I’ve been recommending mostly finished series in this post so far, but so far we have 2/3 books in the trilogy out and I am currently reading Legendary and loving it, so I am pretty confident that this series will be staying on my favourites shelf for years to come. Stephanie Garber has some seriously fantastic atmospheric writing and a really great mind for plot twists and amazing scenery and I wish more people would pick up Caraval because I love it so much and it deserves all the love!
THE FINAL EMPIRE (MISTBORN TRILOGY)
This trilogy is everything to me and I love it so so much. Brandon Sanderson knows how to write an amazing storyline. Don’t expect a diverse cast but do expect an amazing plot and brilliant world building. Expect ridiculously long books and really interesting characters! This trilogy is absolutely brilliant and I wish you guys would give it a go!
MAGNUS CHASE TRILOGY
This is one of my favourite trilogies of all time and I love it and wish everyone would read it. If you like his other books then I wish you would consider picking up the Magnus Chase trilogy! You can check out my review of book one to see why I love the books so much, but basically, I just love the characters. You might know this about me, but I am more of a character reader than a lover of plot, so this trilogy is exactly the read for me!
SHOULD I CONTINUE THIS BLOG SERIES?

I love the idea of splitting the tour up in shelves! Honestly, I’ve been thinking about doing one myself, but on the other hand.. My shelves really don’t make much sense right now, so I’ll probably wait until I redo the whole thing.. Which isn’t going to be anytime soon since it’s so DAUNTING to see all my books all over the place, hahaha.
Loved The Lunar Chronicles! And I’m hoping to get my copy of Legendary today. Even though it’s not on my June TBR, I might be tempted to read it anyway.. 😛

TLC is a fantastic series! I just finished Legendary and loved it so I hope you love it too! You should definitely read it, it’s a really fun book!

True! Like.. Next time I reorganize them, I’ll do it afterwards. Might be moving at the end of this year or next year, so if it isn’t before then, it’s definitely after the move, haha.
Oooooh; now I’m even more eager to pick it up! 😛

Thank you! Haha, I understand why you’ve put it off. I did too before I finally caved and bought the audio for TRK! You should definitely read TLC, it’s such a fun twist on fairytales. Give it a go, just try and read a book or so a month!!

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Skulduggery is a lot of fun, and it’s a lot easier to read on audio because the series is so big. Haha, you should finish TLC, I really liked Winter!

I was not a huge fan of the Raven Cycle. I read the first two books and I couldn’t stand Ronan. Essentially ruined the books for me. I’ve been told to keep going but I dunno if I will.
Now the Mistborn trilogy is something I can get behind. I love love love my lady Vin and my sweet Sazed.

I can totally understand that, he’s definitely not my favourite. I prefer Adam & Noah. It’s a good series if you like the characters, maybe try re-reading book 1?
Mistborn is amazing!

I think I might but I’m not sure yet. lol. I do like Noah, he just don’t have a lot of page time so I can’t give an honest opinion about him.
Mistborn is soooo great! I loved the heck out of it and I didn’t think I would because it’s high fantasy and that is something I don’t read a lot of. In fact, I never read high fantasy. lol.

I love this bookshelf tour series, please do continue with it ❤️
I love The Raven Cycles, I haven’t actually read all the books in the series yet, I definitely have to reread Blue Lily, Lily Blue and the dive into The Raven King. The Lunar Chronicles are also on my TBR, I read Cinder and loved it but just haven’t had the time to continue on with the series.

Thank you so much! I do plan on continuing and should have a part 2 up soon!
You definitely should re-read BLLB before getting to TRK, it’s totally worth it!
The Lunar Chronicles is a really fun series, I hope you continue it!
