Your Inner Shelf

By Sarah and Shannon

Meet Sarah and Shannon: two best friends who love talking, reading, and talking about reading!

Everyone has a bookshelf. It can be small, gigantic, or consist of one or two books. We all have books that are our ride-or-dies that we house inside of us on our inner shelves. Your Inner Shelf is about best friends sharing their love of reading with the world.
