15 books? And the world is ending? You might as well just tell me that some much-needed reading glasses are broken 😜 @RaeLovesToRead (actual pic of me avoiding this dire thought) #ihavequestions #belovedbooks
Here‘s my list (with commentary!):
1. The Hobbit (⬆️THIS copy and yes I‘ll be mad if it gets scuffed or dinged)
2. The Complete Ivory - Egan (hey, series is contained into one book!)
3. Magic Strikes (the BEST Kate Daniels. Fight me.)

Here‘s my cargo.
This was tough,I possibly cheated bc Ultimate Hitchhiker‘s guide is 5 books, but is physically in 1 book.
A lot of these books have an apocalypse? I don‘t know if the prompt put that into my mind, but this is more sci-fi/fantasy than my shelf would suggest, but once you know whodunnit mysteries are pretty much done. So 8 fantasy/sci-fi books, a travel book & whatever Song of Achilles is considered 🤣
@RaeLovesToRead has questions!!!
In this scenario, the world is ending, and one of my biggest regrets is… oh, no, I can only save 10 books! Sounds about right! 😂 I‘m sharing this for anyone who wants to play. My 10 books are about to be revealed in photographic fashion! 😁

Did I just scrabble around my bedroom looking for books to load into a rucksack in a pretend apocalypse? (Perhaps)
Is that a Final Fantasy viii strategy guide? (Maybe)
Does anyone know where my Complete Poems of John Donne has gone? 🤨 (No?)
Why didn't I purchase the last two Fitz books BEFORE the apocalypse??? (Rae! 🧐)
Will I change my mind on these selections in 5 mins? (Almost definitely)
