A peek into celebrity bookshelves

Today, a guest post from Isabel Cabrera of Global English Editing.

Reading books has so many benefits. Science shows that reading can make us mentally sharper and healthier, and it is a great way to unwind and relax too. Not to mention, reading books is just plain fun. However, with so many books out there, what should you read? 

When it comes to book recommendations, your first point of call may not always be celebrities. Yet on social media and in interviews, celebrities are often touting their favorite books and the new ones they’re enjoying reading. You may be surprised to learn that some of their recommendations are actually really good.

Global English Editing found the book recommendations of 20 popular celebrities and created this great infographic, The Book Shelves of 20 Surprisingly Smart Celebrities.

Did you know that Amy Poehler’s favorite books include A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and Away by Amy Bloom? Or that Dwight Shrute (aka Rainn Wilson) loved The Seven Mysteries of Life: An Exploration of Science and Philosophy?

As you’ll see, the bookshelves of these 20 celebrities are as diverse and interesting as the reading list of any bookworm.

Check out the infographic below and you may just find your next great read.

Thanks for getting nerdy with me!
