Your Bookshelf is CuratedYou 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.

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 received the exact same analysis.
Mod
Your Bookshelf is ComfortingYou 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 apperances 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.
This is very true of me and my collection. I actually favour a well-worn edition over a clean, new one. I have been known to downgrade copies of favourite books via opp-shopping, when I see an older copy with a more interesting cover or just a bit more character.
I got the same as you, Bette and Michael. The only bit I'm not sure about is that I do a lot of culling. I don't really cull my books at all...buying on the other hand is an entirely different story!!!

I got IMPRESSIVE too Phrynne:) But I don't agree with some of their standard answers when relating to me though! Your favourite book tends to be the one that you just finished reading. (that's the same as you too!) plus You're constantly borrowing, lending, buying, selling, and trading books. Nah!!! Partly yes (the borrowing and buying bit!) but.....
Your Bookshelf is Curated - I partly agree with it and on the other hand I don't agree.The selection of answers weren't ever open but that's usually the way it goes for these type of quizes so I'll just hush now..lol

Yep, that's pretty much me! :)
My bookshelf is also
impressive
, and the only thing I don't agree with is "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."
My bookshelf is also Curated. I'd agree with most of it except 'your taste is expensive'. I love a good bargain, don't buy hardbacks for myself and hardly ever pay full price for a paperback (sorry Indie book shops - I love you dearly and will buy gifts from you but can't afford too many of your lovely offerings myself).
Great quiz, Bette! I got the same as Andrea and Katie - your bookshelf is comforting and I would have to agree - the description is me to a T!!
Nice to see people enjoying the quiz and commenting on their results.
not sure I agree with all of these....Your Bookshelf is Impressive

I wouldn't agree that my favourite book is the one I'm reading. And I don't sell or trade my books, and only lend them to people I can trust to give them back!
I'm another one whose bookshelves are comforting. Very true to me
I got comforting as well and yep, that description is exactly me.

I definitely treasure my books and take good care of them, but I can't say I'm good at culling. Giving me a small space problem in our tiny house.
WOW!! That really pegged me down to a T....You collect books because you love to read. You love stories, and you reread your favorites over and over again.

That was fun, My Bookshelf is Comforting. That is exactly why I read: "You read when you want to relax a bit or get away from the dreariness of life."
My bookshelf is Impressive. Or at least it would be if I had room for more so I could take the rest of my books out of boxes...Though the only bit that would not be me is the selling of books, I can't bear to part with any of my literary babies... (though I have been known to part with the odd double-up, and some of the baby books my kids have grown out of)
InformativeYou collect books because you are a glutton for facts and information. You take in as much as possible.
You never pass up a book that will teach you something new - whether it's well written non-fiction or a classic novel.
Your favorite books are dense and full of knowledge. You like a book to rock your world and completely change the way you think.
You read to learn and experience everything. You believe reading is the best form of travel, including time travel.
You see your book collection as a work in progress. Since you read every kind of book, you still have many to acquire.
Over time, you'd like to have a mini-library of your own. Whenever you need to look something up, you'd like to have just the book to do it in.
I think that sums it up well though I can also relate to the other possibilities!

That was fun, and pretty accurate!My bookshelf is Informative — like Tina's!
ImpressiveYou collect books because you can't imagine doing anything else [um no, I collect books because I want to read them and then I want to inflict them on other people to promote literacy and to have something interesting to talk about].
You've never met anyone who loves books as much as you do (actually no my ex was more of a bibliophile than me but less distinguishing, he just loved every and any book whether he would ever read it or not].
It's hard for you to resist almost any book [no it is hard for me to resist the RIGHT books but many are beneath me]. Sure, you prefer good ones, but you've acquired plenty of weird and mediocre and just plain bad books too [which I try to cull when the kids let me].
Your favorite book tends to be the one that you just finished reading [no, really no] . And with you, that can change on a weekly (or even daily) basis [true. finally a true comment].
You read for all sorts of reasons - to relax, to learn, to grow, to laugh [yep all of those]. You have books for every occasion and craving [almost].
Your book collection is completely out of control and impossible to organize [challanging rather than impossible]. You have books in every single room of the house [yes, yes I do].
You're constantly borrowing, lending, buying, selling, and trading books [yep]. You love to share the joy of reading with everyone you know [I tend to gravitate toward people who read interesting things and have interesting opinions about them].
I also got impressive! ^_^
fairly spot on - I wouldn't say my taste is expansive thoughCurated

I was soo shocked I didn't no how to react! And they laughed it off saying they found it in their back shed being used as a door stop!!! I was so cranky!!!

That is so very rude!!!
Yeah it was!! And the fact that he didn't even apologise really cheesed me off...no offer for a new one or anything!!! Anyways....my mum gets my weird obsession for keeping a book at top condition... and secretly went and bought me a new one just to make me happy :)
