Book Lovers Day

Apparently today is Book Lovers Day, what! How freaking awesome. So of course I wanted to talk about books because books are awesome and I am totally a book lover and who isn't a book lover because books are awesome, right?

 So lets talk about books and stuff, okay, to celebrate?


Read Stuff

 Problems only book lovers will understand - no matter how many of these I see (or write) they always make me laugh and nod along.

 Some of the best friends I've never met

5 books for when you're on hold

All of the interview with a bookworm series over at Jana's place.

A letter to books - co-signed, all of you.

 The Reluctant Readers Book List

 I love Buzzfeed, it's like a black hole of awesomeness. Check out these posts:

 22 Places all book lovers must go. Yes please.

29 Pictures Only Book Lovers Will Understand - Samantha, you're in this post!

 23 Struggles Only Book Nerds Will Understand

Instagram vs Reality book lover edition - seriously, hilarious.

24 Perfect Prints for book lovers.

28 things book lovers want their partners to know - I almost didn't like this one because of #2 (what?!) but then they got me with #23-28. Can't stop the tears.

27 Clever DIYs for book lovers - I wish I was crafty.

book tote tutorial

Buy Stuff 

FYI there are no affiliate links in this post. Just true love and wanting to bring your bank account down with mine.


I wonder if they'll ship to the US?




A book pillow.

I think I need both of these, but especially the open book on the left.


olde book pillow / sleep is good books are better


So, this is a thing.



So you can see it's really time you went to bed now.



Except it's almost $300 so how bout I stick with my iphone? It's also out of stock, but whatever. ($300?!)



I don't think KC would be down for this.


Just in case Goodreads ever breaks down.

A mug.

I need both of these in my life.

Pride & Prejudice / Cats, Books & Tea
Clothes.

So that we book lovers can identify each other!

harry potter jumper / the book was better jumper / books, rainy days, tea and cats tee /
i workout to carry more books tank / carpe librum tank / my workout is reading in bed tee
A tote.

You know, to carry all them books. Caroline Bingley was good for one thing only, and it was that quote - there really is no enjoyment like reading!

i like big books / no enjoyment like reading

Actually, I just discovered Bookworm Boutique thanks to Heather and if you like book related things, you need to check it out. Go through the link on their instagram profile to get free shipping till the 12th! This tote bag made me LOL:

eat, read and be merry tote
Laugh at stuff

I might have gone a bit overboard. 



and finally, a rather large handful of books I have loved (recently and not so recently).



Okay, I think that's enough from me today. Happy book day everyone. Hope you read something!

    Those book plates are strangely fascinating. I feel like I need them in my life. Love all the memes too! Can't even tell you how many times I've thought or said "one more chapter" and ended up finishing the book! Hehe. :)

    I officially can have a good Monday now that I've read this post - I love EVERYTHING about it. Those book pillows basically need to happen, and I warn my husband all the time to just back off when I'm reading or day dreaming about one of the characters. Ha!

    Thank you for gathering all the things in one place! Thanks for the link to my friends post too.

    I want all the things, even though I'm waiting on two book mugs and two book t-shirts to arrive as we speak...shameful.

  30. NadineAugust 10, 2015 at 4:30 PM

    Ahhhhh all of the memes and funnies!!! I literally relate to every last one of them!!!!!! But especially having to read "just one more chapter" before bed and then it is like 2 hours later, getting an arm work out holding up my books, and not knowing what to do with my life because I finished a good book and was too attached to the characters. That happens way too often. In fact, I am thinking about my characters in the book I am reading right now. What are they doing? What is going to happen? I've got issues.

    Holy hell, this post was soooo good! Ever since I cleaned through my old things last month, I've been scouring the internet for more book memorabilia to add to my collection, so this post was like heaven. That Accio Books tote is EVERYTHING. Also, I laughed at the 9 3/4 sweatshirt for a solid 5 minutes.

    I have so many of those memes saved in my phone, but that Allegiant one? Girl... I can't.

    Also, I just bought a multifandom tank and I so can't wait to show you!

    You included the Selection! I loved that book! I'm actually headed to the library to pick up The Heir today! :) This whole post is excellent. The one about the realization that there aren't enough pages left in the book for what you want to happen, to happen... the worst! I've been there. And being so attached to fictional characters - yup. Been there. And the ending to Allegiant... Ugh.

    LOVE! The Book Riot Podcast is selling (still?) phone cases that read "This is my book" or something along those lines. I want one :). And yes, I cry all the time at character deaths and the end of books. My most recent ending that I hate-loved was the end of Allegiant.

  42. KristenAugust 13, 2015 at 7:32 PM

    I love this post! I was laughing nearly the entire time I scrolled through. (Plus so many awesome links and things to purchase!) I really need a new tote for work (and to carry all of my library books, of course!), so I may have to order one of these!
