The official book hoarder's defense.
When someone questions your overflowing bookshelf, simply point to this shirt. You're not hoarding—you're curating. You're not obsessed—you're committed. You're building a library, one book at a time.
Part of the Book Nerd line from Nerd Hive - for readers who understand that "too many books" is not a real problem.

There's a fine line between hoarding and collecting. That line is called "a library."
Wear your nerd.🐝📚
Crafted from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, it’s exceptionally soft and breathable, making it ideal for both active days and casual outings. Soft, breathable cotton meets quiet bookish humor. This lightweight jersey tee wears like your favorite page-turner — relaxed retail fit, crew neckline, and a tear-away label for no-scratch comfort. The front shows a delicate line-drawing of a bookshelf under the text “I’m not hoarding books, I’m building a library.” It reads like a wink to fellow readers: low-key, clever, and easy to layer under a cardigan or wear solo on slow afternoons in a café or at a bookshop. Thoughtful construction (side seams, shoulder tape, ribbed collar) keeps the silhouette neat after many washes, and subtle sleeve and neck-printing techniques preserve crisp detail in the design. Ethically made and REACH certified, the shirt pairs honest materials with a quietly curated aesthetic that belongs in every reader’s rotation.
