Sometimes these roundups of bookish goods we put together revolve around a theme. We have gifts for readers of certain genres and subgenres (dark academia, fantasy, sci-fi), merch for specific interests and professions (bookish birders, librarians, library enthusiasts), even goods paired with how-tos (reading picnics, reading retreats). And sometimes we (read: I) like to bring the chaos. I present you with this list of random bookish stuff I found on the internet. Theme schmeme.
My selection process was simple, if I can even call it a process. If the item was some combination of bookish and pretty, funny, cheeky, or sweary, it went on the list. That’s it. That’s the chaos. So scroll on to browse these offerings, including a bookmark with a reading directive delivered by a stabby duck, stickers announcing your smut, and a journal for your inner Scorpio.
A quick note: as of this writing, most of the these items are on sale for les than their listed prices. Happy chaotic shopping!
