I feel like this is one of the few celebrities in shelf portrait who genuinely seems like an every day reader (and has been one for a long time) to me

[@whoisthis6373]

That's when you know she is a true reader... books all over the house!

[@abeautifulcountry9353]

Agree. And they are such beautiful bookshelves too

[@ginny4e]

One of the best Shelf Portraits, so far!

[@nikitaj473]

omg best shelf potrait! more like her please. Such a well read woman

[@thelaurels13]

I love the fact that she’s so well read and not just into what I call “candy floss” books, by which I mean books with pretty covers with no real substance. I also love how she has books dotted all around the house. 🙌 The best shelf portrait I’ve seen on here thus far.

[@lc8147]

Now those are some proper bookshelves! And all over the house :D

[@mahimanandakumar6856]

That was truly gorgeous! The house, the books and of course, the lady!

[@irvinev6373]

Yess..shelf portrait is back again finally..

[@asyaleonova3090]

She’s so nice and has sooo many places with books at home! A real inspiration

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

We did get addicted to this during covid. Trying to see in the background what's on people's bookshelves. She is beautiful, smart, a great actress, and now I know she's well-read too!

[@Mariak82]

Love this. Loved her in ER growing up and loved watching this as a bibliophile. ❤📚

[@sarahnehm9523]

Love shelf portraits! This was one of the best!

[@izby2652]

One of best shelf portraits. Love that she takes you around her house to find favourite books. Sign she really loves reading. I've added some of her suggestions to my growing tbr.

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

Totally agree about ON WRITING ✍. The process and background - very interesting 👍

[@sharonforbes162]

What a wonderful collection of books.😊💕📚

[@celifacejones]

Yesss. Shelf portrait is back - and with true readers! Added to my TBR. Great episode 👏

[@TheWriteStuffWC]

I love everything she mentioned. She has great taste

[@AS-ug9bt]

Smiled my way through this. Could the woman be any more fabulous? A reader even! Heavenly, and some of the recommendations I'll definitely seek out.

[@wormdance128]

would like to see more people not reading just self-help. fiction teaches you these things as well, you just won't be spoon fed!!

[@denisefreitas6727]

Love Julianna even more now i saw her bookshelves! ❤📚

[@lilianabetancourt3533]

Wow! What a well read woman! 👍

[@leneynwa]

[@TheTasneemali]

📚 📖 📙 📘 💗🌸

[@maudeboggins9834]

Ada Lovelace. Is the first lady of computers.

[@TheJaneathon]

Check out Katherine Dunn Geek Love.

[@nikapolskaya8324]

No Dostoevsky, no Tolstoi, no Chekhov, no Gesse, Stendal, Balsak, Hemingway, Folkner.. Nothing from the true classics. How?

[@lebeautymarq8834]

Dante was there.

[@detroitvinyl]

Because people like different things...?

[@elenal7468]

Dante, Shakespeare, and Emily Dickinson. And she tried to present a couple of books from different categories/genres, if you noticed, without being concentrated on classics entirely.

[@s.p.8803]

Balzac / Faulkner / Dostoïevski / Stendhal ...

[@akashleenasarkar9463]

you're well read only when you read a myriad of books from various genres. she talked about classics, memoirs, popular literature, essays, so on and so forth. you don't ONLY have to concentrate on classical literature :)
