21 Bookish Products That Every Reader Will Obsess Over

If you identify as a certified book lover, then these bookish products definitely have your name on them — some literally.

1. This reading journal is great for readers who aspire to be more organized. It’s perfect for jotting down personal reflections, quick notes, and reviews about the books that leave you speechless.

Amazon

This reading journal is pleasing to look at with linen material and a gold foil design. It’s great for taking notes on recent reads and can serve as a place for your ever-expanding TBR list. Any reader wanting to add some structure to their reading journey will find this super useful.

Promising review: “To say I’m pleased with this beautiful reading journal is an understatement! The design is modern, clean, and visually appealing. The interior pages are thoughtfully crafted and well-organized, beginning with a daily reading tracker followed by checklists and borrowed/lent log. However, my favorite pages are those dedicated to book reviews. Not only is there space to capture general details, but I love the prompts (Favorite Quotes, Review Notes, and “I Would Ask the Author…”). I highly recommend this journal as a gift (or self-indulgence) for a bibliophile or even a casual reader!” — Lauren R
