    Jessica Jung, singer and author of Shine, shows us her magical, color-coordinated bookshelf in Marie Claire's latest episode of Shelf Portrait, where celebrities, influencers, and famous bookworms invite us inside their homes to show off their personal libraries.

    In Jung's library, you'll find some of her favorite books like Letters to Lily: On How the World Works by Alan Macfarlane (it was gifted to her by a fan!), Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, and John Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. During the tour, Jung reveals some of her best recommendations are from her mom, who's also a book lover, and that her favorite all-time fictional crush is Noah from The Notebook. (Extremely relatable.)

    See Jung's beautiful bookshelf for yourself in her Shelf Portrait video, above, then order some of her favorite books, below.
