Bookworm Gifts: Reading Helps and Organizers
As a bookworm myself, I love gifts that relate to my profound love of reading. Some gifts are hand, such as the booklist, while others allow me to announce my hobby to others through a personalized mug or bag.
There are so many gift options to make reading more enjoyable than it already is.
Rechargeable Book Light
What bookworm can’t use a rechargeable book light? We have several in this house for all of the late-night readers. I take mine with me camping, traveling, and to my own bed every night!
Book Page Holder
A great gift for bookworms who never want to take a break from reading. This makes it easy to hold your book open with one hand so you can hold a drink in the other hand.
The Book Seat
This one is perfect for hands-free reading. It’s a great gift for bookworms, especially for busy parents. Fold the laundry, chop the veggies, or anything else you might like to get done, and don’t miss a beat in your favorite story.
Book Journals to keep track of favorite lines or titles.
I like to keep track of my favorite lines from each book in my book journal. One of my favorite book journals is The Novel Journal because the lines of the journal are the entire text of the book, written very tiny.
Bookmarks
From magnetic bookmarks to traditional styles, there is something for every person on your list.

Not only are the sayings perfect for a book lover, but they are perfect for resting your head or back while reading.
