Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, and feature lists related to all things bookish–characters, authors, titles, and favorites. They’re an excellent way to find new interesting books on a variety of topics, and to find bloggers that love the books you do.
Check out their blog for their top ten and lists of other bloggers who participate!
April 26: Top Ten Bookworm Delights (inspired by this post I did on my own blog)
1. Book plates/stamps. Some people hate to mark their books, but other bookworms want to declare ‘mine, all mine!’
2. Book storage chairs. Some of them don’t look very comfortable, but this clever rocking chair by Made75 looks sleek and fun.
3. Book totes. Every bookworm needs something to carry those books in, in order to get more books at one time.
4. Bookish candles. Ah, the smell of old books! I’ve seen these a few places, and I want to know if they smell as good as they look…
5. Cozy blankets. When reading curled up on a chair, sofa, or bed on a cold day, a blanket makes the experience warm.
6. E-reader covers. If you fall on the digital ( or combined) side of the digital versus print debate, a lovely cover is a must. One that looks like a book? The best kind.
7. Notebooks. Whether they track their reading, wish lists, or write quotes, a bookworm is bound to find these useful.
8. Personalized bookmarks. Not just any old piece of paper, but something that speaks to a hobby, fandom, etc., so every time you open the book, you smile.
9. Reading lights. The portable power to read in the darkness… or not disturb others.
10. Reading nooks. A cozy little place where you can get away from it all? Perfect.
I have resisted the siren call of e-reader covers. I have a very basic protective one, and that’s it. If I give in, I’ll have more e-reader covers than I have shoes. (Not that’s saying much, I own like 3 pair of shoes. But Still.) My Top Ten Bookworm Delights.
I have, too. So far. They are very pretty, though…
Shh, lead us not into temptation.
I’m so envious of all the beautiful reading nooks out there. I wish I had one. Cool list!
Me, too, especially one by a window, so you could admire the view–and take advantage of the natural light.
That Lego book light is adorable!
At one point, I had a half-dozen book lights, but none of them were that cute.
I love book lights and I also want that nook. In fact I think I deserve that nook! At the moment my nook is my side of the bed!
Lynn 😀
We all deserve a nook. Nooks should come standard in all homes. 🙂
Oh I forgot about the book lights! I have so many of those! It’s like a colllection. I don’t think I know what a book plate is though, I will have to check those out.
Book lights are so useful, right?
Book plates are stamps or stickers you can put in books to have your name in them. Some are very pretty. 🙂
I love your format. I should have done pics too!
Can’t take credit for the idea, I saw it on other blogs, too.
I agree with all of these. They’re must-haves for most book lovers!
Thanks!
Love your list! I love book totes and blankets too (have you seen the bags with the full text of classic novels on them? So awesome!). I love my book stamp too. I haven’t seen an old books scented candle. But I seriously need one now! Haha.
Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier 🙂
I have a shirt with (most of) the full text of Pride & Prejudice on it. It’s nifty. 🙂
That’s awesome!
I’ve not actually invested in any eReader covers…mine has been the same basic one since I bought my Kindle and even for my iPad it’s all quite basic 😂 definitely the reading nooks…it’s def one of my bookworm goals to eventually plan one out at my own place 😁
My kindle cover is pretty basic, too. I favor practically over looks.
That Pride and Prejudice blanket is lovely! I’d love to get my hands on one. It would look really great in a reading nook. 🙂
There’s a lot of bookish goodies out there! Not nice for your budget, but nice for everything else.
I love all of these! Most particularly book totes and bookmarks. I love showing those off, and often they are nice conversation starters.
And they’re useful, too.
I really want that book storage chair! I’ve never seen anything like that before.
There are so many different kinds, though some of them look a little impractical.
