Shelf - Salma Shaik

I always enjoy reading others' lists and browsing their bookshelves, so this is intended to be a digital version of that.

I flagged a few books that I particularly enjoyed highlighted in white, while those I would consider among my favorites are highlighted in lighter gray. An asterisk (*) marks books I'm currently reading.
