Summer is a great time to catch up on your reading, whether you’re on holiday, spending time at your favourite local cafe or beach, or taking part in a book club or reading challenge. Here’s some cute bookish picks from Etsy that will make it even more fun.
Let everyone know your summer plans with this cute Booked for the Summer tote bag from BookTopia (US). It’s available in both natural and black and has lots of space inside for beach days, book shopping and library trips. You can also get the same design on t-shirt.
If you prefer ebooks, what could be sweeter than this needlepunch Strawberry Garden pouch by Golden Yarn Studio (EU)? They’re handmade to order so you can get one sized for any e-reader or tablet and choose from 17 fabric colours with either zipper or snap closure.
Fleurs on Sunday (UK has lots of fun ticket designs on bookmarks with a few summer options like Poolside, Seaside & Out of Office. They’re perfect for adding to a book gift or for tucking into that special book you’re packing for your holiday read.
I’ll be at home this summer so this Beach bookmark by Ive Penkova (EU) is more my speed. I love the nautical theme and these seagulls look far cuter than the real life rascals.
Even if you’re working all summer, you can take a few hours out at a cafe to relax and read with a treat. Use these Cozy Cafe book plates before you lend out your books or check out all the bookish stickers from Francie Plans (CAN).
Erin & Elle Decals (US) have a whole load of book-themed vinyl stickers to cute up your water bottle or ebook cover. This Polly Pocket-style Bookish Girl Summer sticker looks like a dream getaway.
Happy Cutie Studio (UK) has some colourful mini book planner stickers that are perfect for your reading tracker, journaling or sharing with your book club. You could even use the colours for different genres.
I can never resist a bookshop when I’m away from home and usually come home with yet more books. I’d be sure to pop into the Book Shop in this enamel pin by Read & Wonder (AU) and I love the summery colours (it’s also available in blue).
It’s also the 6th anniversary of our book, The Super Cute Book of Kawaii this week! If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, it’s available worldwide as a print and ebook and full of all-new cute content inside a squishy cover. You can also get signed copies (UK only) direct from my Asking For Trouble shop as well as signed bookplates and bookmarks (worldwide). Use the code SCKAWAII for 15% off your first order.
