How it works
Put them in order
Drag the covers around, or tap one and then the square you want it in. Most people go oldest to newest. There are no rules.
Save and post
One tap gives you the grid as an image, sized for Instagram and TikTok. Tag it #My9Books so the rest of us can find it.
What is the My 9 trend?
A 3x3 grid of the nine things that made you who you are. It began in Japan in 2016 with album covers, came back in 2026 with video games, and has since spread to films, anime and now books. The appeal is the limit: nine is few enough that every choice says something, and narrowing it down is most of the fun.
They do not have to be the nine best books you have read. They are the nine that made you a reader: the first one you stayed up for, the one a friend pressed into your hands, the one you have bought three times because you keep giving it away.
