You wouldn't believe it but I've heard it too.
People honestly telling me that the books in their room are supposed to make them appear smart.
I'm currently watching a video about futons and the question I'm asking myself is why normies are such imposters? This is obviously a person who wants to seem like a reader, but isn't actually one. Nobody would stack the books with the covers to the back of the shelf, because you wouldn't know which book is which.
She only turned the books that are directly in frame. Now I think she wanted her background to be more white and all the colorful book covers wouldn't represent the minimalist style she wants to portrait.
She didn't turn the middle layer because this is some woman thing about how they decorate. She wanted a little color in her background but not everything colorful. If she would have turned all books it would have looked too boring and weird to her.
