Confessions of a Bookworm - Friday Finds

I Am A Bookworm print from vol25 - $20.00

I recently read a shocking fact. Amazon has reported that the sales of their electronic books readers outnumbered their sales of actual books. Wow.

As an avid reader, I'm saddened to hear this! There is nothing like the feel of a book. I love to see font choices, experience the feel of the paper and the smell of the pages.

So, just to inspire you to go out an actually buy a beautiful book, here's a collection of gorgeous book accessories.


The Tempest - leather bookmark from immortal longings - $4.99


Dreaming Ophelia bookplate set from Stiletto Heights - $6.00


Reader's Diary from Green Chair Press - $10.00


Custom Initial Bookmark from Arete - $7.00


Looking for some great books to read? Check out http://www.goodreads.com/ for fabulous book reviews and an online place for you to review books and record what you've read and create your own "to read" lists. It's a wonderful resource for bookworms!

Also, sign up online to receive coupons and great discounts at national book retailers like
Barnes and Nobel and Borders
. I often receive emails with fantastic sales and coupons for generous discounts.

Looking for more Etsy goodies for book lovers? Check out the bookworm finds that I curated for Etsy's blog, The Storque!

I hope that you can set aside some time in the next few days to snuggle up with a good book! Have a great weekend!
