Because J and I have the Etsy shop, I'm on Etsy A LOT. Like too often. And when I'm not talking to people and negotiating shipping prices, I am definitely trying to find things that scream book nerd! Yesterday, on Twitter, I casually mentioned that I found a mug (featured below) I really wanted and posted it for all the people to see. Then my boyfriend came home and casually mentioned that he got me something and I casually guessed it. But it wasn't so casual because there was a lot of guessing involved and then jumping around and then hugs and stuff.
So why not share the fruits of my labor with you guys?! Maybe you'll get something and make some Etsy seller really happy.
Austen inspired. And a must have. Drink your coffee (or tea) in style with this gem.

Bookends are modern and fancy. I need them.

So, that's about it from me. Hope you guys have a great weekend!
One is truly a book nerd once he/she starts laughing at book memes. On these words...

Ben,
ReplyDeleteI love judgmental book seller ostrich! Hilarious. I've seen others, like texts from Jane Eyre, that are equally funny.
I like the "book" bookends. We need a fireplace for that, though. So... how do we fit one of those in the apartment?
ReplyDeleteWe could put them on our shelves that we got and painted. Oh no, that wouldn't work because they already have bookends built in. Ok. I will come up with something and we will BUY them. Thanks for my mug! You're awesome.
DeleteI need that Bonjour Tristesse print!! Awesome stuff here, Beth :)
ReplyDeleteBrenna,
DeleteYeah, these prints are awesome. I need more artwork around the house.
Viva la book nerd! :)
ReplyDeleteLyndsay,
DeleteExactly! :)
I love being a book nerd - it is simply the best! So I'm glad to know that I am in good company ;) I love that mug! And those prints! Talk about some literary fabulousness! I've got to check out these Etsy stores!
ReplyDeleteNadia,
DeleteI agree. I always have. These Etsy stores are awesome and I'm wishing we had come up with something so clever.
I think most of us are unashamed book nerds! :P
ReplyDeleteThe children in my class think I'm strange how much I go on and on about reading but I am slowly converting them into nerddom...
Sam,
DeleteI would agree! I mean we willingly started blogs for books. If that doesn't say NERD I don't know what does. It's like a badge of honor. :)
Awesome that you're converting the wee ones!
I've come across Brookish before and I love all of their mugs. And everything else. Thanks for the reminder that I wanted to order something...
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteThe shop is amazing. I think if I buy the shirt too I'm going to far. I'll make due with the mug for now!
I want ALL of these things. Especially the tree bookends.
ReplyDeleteAnd book nerds are the best kind of nerd! :)
Aren't the tree bookends AMAZING? I kind of have a weird obsession with trees and branches so it just fits. Not to find somewhere to put them.
DeleteAnd agreed!
Love these picks!! I'm a book nerd and proud to be! Luckily, being a creative writing major means that I'm surrounded by other book nerds too!

Sara,
DeleteYes! We're all together in this.. another reason I LOVE book blogging. There's no shaming and the like.
Didn't know you had an Etsy shop, but you are on my favorite shops list now! My wife and I look for that kind of stuff whenever we are out and about as she is amassing a small collection. And of course I was excited to see your "about" page on Etsy. Which one of you shares the November 21st birthday with me?
ReplyDeleteLooks like we have some similar favs of other shops. I've got Brookish already lined out for some stuff for my wife for Christmas.
All great treasures there!
Carl,
DeleteYes, we opened the shop just a few months ago and it's been a great experience so far! Sometimes it's really hard not keeping the stuff I find.
And that's my birthday! Awesome to meet another person celebrating on the same day.. I can't say I've come across that often. J's is actually a few days after, which is also weird because I haven't met a lot of people with November birthdays, if you can believe it.
I saw Brookish on the main page and scored the mug above. I've been contemplating a shirt too. Your wife is a lucky lady if your combing Etsy for Christmas gifts! Etsy's just awesome all around.
I have no problem being referred to as a book nerd. It's a badge of honor.
ReplyDeleteRyan,
DeleteYes, I would agree completely!
I went to a small school during my junior high years and there was a guy in my class that was my exact same age and we shared the same birthday. We were actually born just a few hours apart, only he was in the town where we lived and my parents (who were from that town) were overseas in Germany as my dad was in the Army. Weird how coincidences work. Great to meet another with such an awesome special day! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that is crazy! I graduated with a girl that shared it as well, but we didn't talk much. She's always wished me well on the day since so it's nice to meet another!
DeleteI think one of the best parts of being a book nerd is making a reference you don't think anyone will understand and having the joy of discovering a fellow nerd. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those prints - I'm off to check out the shop. :)
Lindsey,
DeleteYes! I initially thought I might have made a reference without realizing it. Haha. But I definitely agree. The prints are awesome.
You've made my book nerdness go into overdrive! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Glad I could help! :)
