Our Literary Catalogue

Reshelving Alexandria's favorite books in a free searchable database.

Welcome to the Reshelving Alexandria Community's Literary Catalogue! This is a collection of true, good, and beautiful books that we have curated through a lifetime of reading. This catalogue is comprised of titles both old and new and we hope it will provide a book for every shelf!

This offering is a searchable database of books our team has read and reviewed as well as the top recommendations from our facebook community. The fb group recommendations come from our long standing members only and have also been researched/skimmed by our team before being included, but not read completely by our team. We only take recommendations of books our trusted community members have personally read, not just books people have “heard are good” or “have the look”. Each book entry clearly states where the recommendation came from including the name of the team member who has read it whenever possible.

Links to purchasing our recommended books are almost all affiliate links. Using affiliate links help to pay for providing this free resource and are greatly appreciated. You can also shop through the lists we have on our Reshelving Alexandria Amazon Storefront.

If you prefer not to use affiliate links but would still like to support our work, please use the donate button below!

Ease of use tip: The search bar at the top of the gallery view/spreadsheet views of the database becomes an advance search by clicking on “Filter”. You can then select criteria per line for each filter you’d like to use- author, genre, tag, time period, location, interest levels, etc. This helps to quickly narrow down the results to hopefully find a book that will serve your needs.

Let us know if you have any questions!
