Really, all you need to be a book-lover is a good book and a place to read it. And a bookmark, for when you are inevitably interrupted halfway through a chapter. And a book tote, for when you need to lug those library books across town. And a customized personal library embosser, for when you lend your books out to your no-good, untrustworthy friends. I mean, sure, all these accessories aren't strictly necessary, but they are a lot of literary fun. So if you love books and you're looking for a way to express it, here are a whole mess of lovely, affordable book accessories that you can order from our benevolent overlords at Amazon.

These bookish accessories might seem minor, but they all have a pretty major impact on your reading life. A clip-able book light is a must-have for sleepovers and camping trips, after all. A handmade page-holder or a book stand is an absolute life saver when you're trying to read while taking notes. And where would you be without your library-themed socks? Add a little more book love to your life, or find the perfect gift for your favorite reader, all without stepping away from your computer screen:

1

A Nessie Bookmark

Is that everyone's favorite cryptid peeking out from the top of your favorite book? Why yes it is. This supremely cute bookmark will mark your place in impeccable, Loch Ness Monster style.

2

A Book Light

The book light is a standard must-have for any serious nighttime reader. But don't settle for some boring, ugly, functional book light when you can pick up a light that's both fun and functional on Amazon. This clip-able light tucks into itself for travel, and comes in multiple designs.

A Custom Library Embosser

Look. You love your books. And you love your friends. But if you lend a book to a friend, you want a guarantee that you will get that book back safely. This embosser will imprint your customized seal on every book you own, to remind everyone that this precious book came from your own personal library.
