My Bookshelf

        These are all the books on my bookshelf, at least, those relevant to this page. Some of them were my mothers from her study years, but I found them in storage, so I adopted them. Some I've recieved from people. A few of them were my grandfather's, and the rest I bought myself. I find a lot of good books at op shops, for example, Picnic at Hanging Rock (Joan Lindsay) I bought a couple of weeks ago at the Smith Family Shop, and realised later that it was a reject from the Los Angeles Public Library. I thought that was pretty funky since it's an Australian book, and somehow managed to get from Los Angeles, all the way back here to little ol' Queanbeyan, Australia. A few of the books are children's novels, which I keep around for the sentimental value.
