     This study investigated the phenomenon of posting photos of bookshelves on social networking services (SNS) and aims to identify the underlying characteristics and intentions of this behavior. Data were collected from Twitter (Present “X”) hashtags, and co-occurrence network analysis, correspondence analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis were carried out.
     The findings reveal that bookshelf posts on SNS primarily relate to book collecting and purchasing but also display a diverse range of content, including the desire for interaction with others. Two types of interactional intentions were observed: general interactional intentions for broad interaction and limited interactional intentions for interaction within a specific genre. Additionally, the desire for approval from others through self-presentation was identified.
     Posting bookshelves on SNS represents a form of interaction that reflects a blend of SNS communication characteristics and the characteristics of book-based community in real life.
