21 Graphic Tees That Book-Lovers Will Adore

So much shopping to do, so little time. Especially if you’re a book-lover, and you need to reserve plenty of hours for reading. After all, how else will you make a dent in your TBR pile? Luckily, with online shopping, you can find time to stay stylish and read all the latest bestsellers (and, of course, all the best books about shopping).

Naturally, as a book-lover, you also have to ensure that you display your love of books in all aspects of your life. From your actual collection of books, to lit-inspired school supplies, it's essential to let literature seep into everything. And don't forget the most important: literature-themed graphic tees.

The best thing about sporting a graphic tee with your favorite book on it is that you can see who picks up the reference, and then become her best friend forever. It’s like wearing an inside joke that can instantly create a bond between you and your future BFF. Because literature graphic tees are basically magnets that draw out all the other book nerds.
