People took to the comments section to share their reactions to the beautiful photo. One user wrote, 'The last count of my books was also 4000¡ I don¡¯t count now bcoz of the guilt of having an endless TBR.'
Another commented, 'What a delightful sight. Buying a book is so addictive. The reading part will eventually happen.'
'Great! I too recently took a count and have about 4700 books in my home library but have ran out of space so storing the new incomings randomly! Presently reading the New map by Daniel yergin and Lords of desert by James Barr on tussle between britain, France, US in middle east,' wrote a third user.

Some users also wondered how much money was spent on making the neatly-stacked collection of books.
