Stuff for Book Nerds: Harry Potter Wizards Collection

I have been waiting for a fantastic box set of all the Harry Potter movies since the first one came out and boy did they deliver.

With a ton of extras and hidden compartments it is a Harry Potter Fan's dream.

However, at $350.00 and with no special occasions between now and Christmas it may just stay a dream for me!

Stuff for Book Nerds: The Bookmarks Edition

Zombie Hands Bookmarks

I love bookmarks.  They are such a small, yet unique way to say something about the reader.  I know some people who will use any (and every) slip of paper that they can find and others that meticulously match their bookmark to the color and/or theme of the book that they are reading.  I thought I might share some of the bookmarks that I have come across on my Etsy adventures.

Stuff for Book Nerds: The Take Me to Bed Edition

My son has exhausted me.  As his first few teeth emerge he has morphed into what I like to call "the screaming and squealing baby from Hell".  Since my head longs to hit the pillow, I thought I would share a few bookish items for bedtime.

First up this beautiful bedding set, aptly named Fables & Feathers Bedding, from Anthropologie.com  It features the Moral of the Story sayings by Aesop and offers a duvet cover and two styles of pillow shams.  I do think the picture could have used a few books on the night stand for authenticity! 

Don't you just want to crawl into that bed with a worn copy of Pride & Prejudice?  Perhaps while wearing these Mrs. Darcy PJs courtesy of Cafe Press. 

These are sure to get your gentleman's attention (or just your cat) as you parade around the house lamenting the serious lack of suitable men sporting cravats and brandishing monogrammed handkerchiefs in today's society.  If these are not quite your style, the site also features quotes from Jane Eyre, the likeness of Edgar Allen Poe and *shudder* a proliferation of Twilight themed jam jams for those with less discerning taste. 

And finally, for those of us whose household features a young, impressionable mind that we are attempted to mold, Books to Bed sells kids pajamas that feature some of the most popular books among that age group.  They even provide bundles with a book and a toy to complete your night time ensemble.  As soon as my son can appreciate character clothes he is getting a set of these (or 5). 

There you have it folks, now it is time for me to put on my own jammies, cuddle up with a good book and pray to the Baby Gods that my son sleeps through the night!

Music Videos for Readers

I love finding videos made by readers and I thought I would share a couple of my favorites.  First, "B*tches in Bookshops", a spoof of "N*ggas in Paris".  Of course, Goodreads is mentioned along with quite a few well known novels and the readers battle cry of "don't wanna crease this page".

 

Next up is "Library Girl" by Reina Del Cid, who I LOVE LOVE LOVE.  I have listened to this song at least a thousand times, give it a listen, I promise you will not regret.

 

Wear Your Favorite Book

I just had to share my newest find for all those book nerds out there. 

If you look closely, you will notice some familiar words.  That's right people! This scarf features a passage from Harry Potter!! WOOT!!  More specifically, it is the Mirror of Erised scene from the first book.  Tori, over at Storiarts (P.S how awesome is that name?) has been so inundated with requests for her scarf prints that I had to go on an email list and she let me know the day that new scarves were to go up.  If I remember correctly, the choices were Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and a Bible Verse.  The scarf itself is in a beautifully soft fabric that has been sewn into a loop and is long enough to double up.  The day after I got it, I wore mine to my book club and all the ladies LOVED it. 

Have you come across an item that book nerds will love?  Or do you make something yourself?  Let me know and I may be able to feature it here.
