DISCLAIMER
I have collected books for years. I am not rich and I have not just bought around 550 books randomly. Also this is by no means an extensive list of the books I have I just featured the main series on the shelf I was describing. To see all my books you'll just have to wait for my bookshelf tour which I will do asap :)
