Book Collection Update (5/7/24)

I have got some new books aswell as rearranged my bookshelf from oldest written to newest (you'll see I made some mistakes but shhh) for a challenge I set for myself where I'll read every book I have in that order and review them here. My first review for the Epic of Gilgamesh from Myths from Mesopotamia will be published soon.
