I’ve been a voracious reader my entire life. I read anything and everything I got my hands on. Science fiction, realistic fiction, biographies, historical fiction, fantasy, classic literature, religious essays … I love reading and I love books. These are two reasons why I became an English teacher and why I became a writer.
Today I’m going to share with you some of the books I have. I’ve read many more than these, but here are some. To stay up to date with that I’m reading right now or see get other book recommendations, follow me on Goodreads! Oh, and my YouTube video that will come out tomorrow will be about my absolute favorite ones from this list. Some of these books I acquired from family or friends, and some I bought for school. But if it made it to my bookshelf, it means that I didn’t want to get rid of it.

PS – This is nowhere near my full book collection. I have a sizable amount of books that are in my classroom library, in storage, and in other rooms of my apartment. I may have a small book hoarding problem.

A book hoarding problem is the best kind of hoarding problem to have, in my opinion.
I love this post! I think I will love a lot of those because you have a ton that I've already loved and read!
So awesome!!! I love it. Although I totally understand why you were kicking yourself for writing this post… it seems like it would take forever. I will definitely be adding some of these to my own Goodreads list! Thanks for taking the time to post it all!
Book hoarding seems like a classic English teacher type problem. But, since everyone I know hordes books (my dad has storage units full of them) it doesn't actually seem like a problem because everyone does it.
