Reshelving Alexandria is an online literary catalog of good, true, and beautiful books that supports families in building and utilizing a home library. Our membership subscription service includes extensive content to help identify and source the best books for your home library.
Jonathan Rogers is one of our favorite living authors. He calls his fiction “fantasy adventure stories told in an American accent” and many say they hear echoes of both Mark Twain and J.R.R. Tolkien in the reading of his stories. His non-fiction writings also deserve praise and we personally know people who believe they never would have been able to read Flannery O’Connor for themselves had they not first met her in his biographical book The Terrible Speed of Mercy: A Spiritual Biography of Flannery O’Connor. Be sure to read the comical bio of Professor Rogers written by his nemesis, John Barber.

Reshelving Alexandria has been a tremendous blessing to our family, saving us both time and money. Before Reshelving Alexandria, finding living literature for our children was a painstaking and time-consuming process; scouring book lists, hunting through blog posts and podcast notes, researching titles and subjects and authors and illustrators, speculating as to reading level and suitability for our family.
Because Reshelving Alexandria has already done this for me, bringing together the best of the best of living literature in a searchable and easily navigable database, it allows me to both focus and stretch our book budget by narrowing down my search to precisely those books that are the best fit for our family and then helping me to easily take advantage of free online books and used book searches to grow our family library. And all the time I am saving? What a joy to re-invest that in reading these books with my children!"
