Picture this: You’re in one of the biggest libraries (this could be anywhere in the world!) and you’re spoilt for choice — pick any book that you want. Perhaps, you’re standing in front of the ‘Fantasy’ section, or maybe leaning towards ‘Science-Fiction’ a bit. Or is it that you’re secretly into ‘Literary Classics’? Anyhow, you’ve picked the book you want and are walking towards the cash counter. You pay for it and you’re back at your cozy reading nook (yeah, just like that!), all settled and ready to take the plunge into the world of magic, dreams, and more.
Wait up, are you sure you’re ready? Aren’t you forgetting something? Well, if you’ve learned anything from our articles you would know how essential it is to have a pair of reading glasses. And if you don’t have one, what are we here for? While we are at it, let’s make it a little fun— tell us your favorite genre, and we will suggest the kind of frame you’ll love. Works?
Let’s go!
1 Classics
You boast about owning every edition of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. You love John Steinbeck and yearn to sip a cup of coffee at Les Deux Magots, Hemingway’s favorite spot in Paris. You were the kid in school who finished reading your English textbook even before the academic year started. You are a minimalist and cherish every day more than anything else but also have a huge appetite for adventure.
Wondering what would be the perfect frame for you? Look no further than rectangle frames.

2 Fantasy
You love big books and you cannot lie. You live vicariously through the characters of Tolkien’s world and sometimes even imagine yourself living in Westeros from A Song Of Ice and Fire. You have read all of the Harry Potter books page to page at least thrice and know all the spells at the back of your hand. You’re a daydreamer, and love to traverse the world of fantasy at any given time. There could be no other frame best suited for you than wayfarers — nonchalant and futuristic.

3 Mystery And Thriller
You are the kind of reader who hoards thriller novels on their bookshelves and Kindle library, in which every ending leaves you thinking about it for weeks. You consider yourself on par with Sherlock when it comes to deducing clues. It would not be wrong to say that you find American and British novels subpar, and rely on Japanese and Korean authors to feed off for an adrenaline rush! A pair of round glasses are just about perfect for you to don a serious look but to also show that you can be fun at times.

4 Young Adult
Writers like Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins, and Rainbow Rowell are your best friends — they just get you! If people were to look for you in a bookstore, they’d always find you in the Young Adult (YA) section, devouring the last few pages of The Hunger Games or The Fault In Our Stars, shedding a light tear in between. Your positive outlook in life is what makes us think that a snazzy pair of cat-eye frames would be just great for someone like you.

5 Historical Fiction
You love fiction but you love facts even more! You’re not a fan of plot twists and surprise endings so you pore over books rooted in reality. The Glass Palace and Pachinko feature in your top favorites and are always recommending them to your friends. You feel you’re born in the wrong era and belong to the ‘50s and ‘60s. You would look great in a pair of aviator frames, first worn by pilots during the world war.

6 Horror
If you’re imaginary friends with writers like Stephen King or H.P Lovecraft, we know you love horror books. And why shouldn’t you? They keep you on the edge of your seat and ensure you don’t leave a leg out of your blanket hanging for the monsters to eat. That being said, you’re the risk-taker in your friend’s circle. You’d be the first one to jump on a wild ride in an amusement park or try your hand at new fashion trends.

7 Romance
A big holler to the Mills And Boons and Fifty Shades Of Grey fandom. You seek a love story in every book be it a drama, classic, or even horror. You are supremely passionate about things you love and people who are dear to you will always be your priority. A wooer of hearts, you love to charm people with your words first and then your looks.
