20 Charming Accessories For Book Lovers

Books come in all different shapes, sizes and are full of wonderful and exciting stories, as are their readers. As a book-lover myself, I like to find new ways to show off my love for books as often as possible, and that sometimes comes through bookish accessories for my home and my wardrobe. Whether that's a necklace with my favorite book quote or a purse that's shaped like a book, I tend to get the message across one way or another.

Lucky for us, we live in a DIY era where books are glorified and turned into some of the best accessories. Even luckier for us, it all tends to be available at the click of a button. From recycled books being turned into hair accessories to miniature books being used as rings or even earrings — there's something for every book nerd out there.

If a book-lover birthday is coming up, or the holidays are inching closer and closer, I can promise that any of these book nerd accessories from Etsy are the perfect gift. And if you just want to treat yourself something bookish, but not actually a book (because we all have mile-high TBR piles to get to), then consider this an excuse to do so:
