Your Bookshelf is Curated




You collect books because you can't imagine a life without reading, especially reading quality stuff.

You can't resist books that are by up and coming authors. You like to be ahead of the curve when it comes to your literary habits.



Your favorite books push you a bit. You don't like reading anything that makes you too comfortable... you like to be challenged.

You read to expand your horizons, perspective, and most of all, your mind. You read to enrich and change your life.



You are the reader that authors dream of. You're willing to give offbeat books a chance, and your taste is expansive.

You treasure your books and take good care of them. You do a lot of culling and buying to make sure you have an impeccable collection.

Your Bookshelf is Impressive




You collect books because you can't imagine doing anything else. You've never met anyone who loves books as much as you do.

It's hard for you to resist almost any book. Sure, you prefer good ones, but you've acquired plenty of weird and mediocre and just plain bad books too.



Your favorite book tends to be the one that you just finished reading. And with you, that can change on a weekly (or even daily) basis.

You read for all sorts of reasons - to relax, to learn, to grow, to laugh. You have books for every occasion and craving.



Your book collection is completely out of control and impossible to organize. You have books in every single room of the house.

You're constantly borrowing, lending, buying, selling, and trading books. You love to share the joy of reading with everyone you know.

I was that one too, Leslie. I actually have a very small book collection but it's not organised in any way. I'm looking forward to expanding it when I get a flat next summer!

Same as Leslie!!!

Leslie | 16369 comments This doesn't really describe me that well I felt. I have met people who love books as much as I do, my favorite book is NOT what I just finished reading (most of the time anyway), and my books (which are indeed in every room of the house except the loo) are actually pretty well organized.

Of course it is not! But sometimes I so like what I've just finished that it is ALMOST my favourite book. And yes, also my books are pretty well organized - even if they're everywhere ...

Same as Leslie! Pretty much sums me up, my book habit is pretty obsessive.

Amber (amberterminatorofgoodreads) My bookshelf is comforting.

You collect books because you love to read. You love stories, and you reread your favorites over and over again.
It's hard for you to pass up a book by your favorite author. Once you find a writer you love, you tend to read his or her whole catalog.

Your favorite books are full of engaging stories, relatable characters, and surprising plot twists. You like to be immersed in a story.
You read when you want to relax a bit or get away from the dreariness of life. Nothing renews you like a book.

You love books for what's in them, and you don't get too caught up in the appearances of your collection.
In fact, some of your favorite books are well worn, sentimental favorites. That's worth more to you than the latest shiny hardback.

Molly Jebber (httpgoodreadscommolly_jebber) | 4 comments I love to read all kinds of genres. I loved the book, Heaven is for Real and saw the movie. It was uplifting, inspiring. It's a fast read and enjoyable. The characters are great.

Molly Jebber (httpgoodreadscommolly_jebber) | 4 comments I write historical amish romance stories, but I love to read the contemporary romance stories and cozy mysteries. I have favorite books and signed books by authors I'll keep, but I find it convenient to travel and carry my Kindle.
