Goodreads Winter Challenge 2026: Persona Picks - Page 2

What kind of reader are you?

That's the thesis question for our Personality Picks collection of book recommendations, an experimental new sorting technique that we're developing here in the Goodreads Labs. Our editorial team is constantly researching better and more efficient ways to turn a big pile of books into lots of littler piles of books.

As such, the categories below are based on common reader types we've observed in the Goodreads ecosystem and in the wild. This is a carefully curated collection and can be useful in a couple of different ways. If you think you know your reader type (or the reader type for whom you are buying a gift), then just jump to the appropriate header below: the Eternal Optimist Reader, for instance, or the Vibes Reader.
