Perhaps under the top novel, they have a stack of research books.....?? Just saying.
Unless you have X-Ray vision???
My guess is that these are very speedy readers....or perhaps they are getting books for a housebound spouse or other family member.
This is what's great about KINDLE.......if you begin a certain book and do not care for it, you simply return it for a refund. Often, we both are reading several books at one time.......some on our older Kindle and some on our newer Kindle Fire......in different levels of our home.
I guess having 4 Kindles in the house would constitute the "modern" stack of library novels. When our adult kids come home, there are even more of these wonderful devices around............

I know because I'm a very observant person. I sometimes see someone in line and I can read the titles on the edges of the book. Or, I can see people picking out books at a library or recreation-center book sale. At least once a year a group of women put on a book sale and I get to see all the hundreds of novels offered for sale. I did find one gem though: "A history of Time" by Stephen Hawking.
Kindle? How does it work? You're buying and getting refunds? Is this done by credit card? I've never had a credit card. And how much do you pay to read a book? How much does the device cost?
