Happy March Internet! Well, granted it’s almost over, but you get the idea right? I hope your March has been fabulous! Mine included a quick trip to Cali, a glimpse at Air Force One, copious amounts of Cadbury Mini Eggs and summer style weather here in the great state of Tejas. Can’t say it’s been bad at all!

Also, Happy St. Paddy’s Day! To celebrate, let’s talk some Fun Finds

1. Harry Potter Sweatshirt. This website has a whole collection of awesome to choose from and I love this sweatshirt! So creative and a legit reference to the books. $27.95

2. This is my life t-shirt. If it was appropriate for my job, I’d probably wear a book related shirt every day. There’s so many out there, how I can resist not wanting every single one? I’m pretty sure someone looked at my life and then created this shirt. Perfection! $20.00

It’s the perfect time to share some bookish gifts and fun finds!

3. Lord of the Rings Chucks. First off, I remember Chucks from my days as a youth and have never stopped being a fan. These not only rep Gondor, but you can get your name in elvish on the side. My Middle Earth geek says yes please. $75.00

4. Library Card Scarf. These recently came back in stock over at Out of Print (one of my forever favorite literary stores) and just look at how pretty this blue and design is. And Out of Print donates portions of their profits to getting kids books! $22.00

5. Jane Austen Books Coaster Set. These are so awesome! I love the design and the easy way to share your love of the classics. $25.00

What’s on your wish list these days?

Since Mondays are Mondays, how about a few Fun Finds to brighten up the day? Bookish gifts always make me happy, so here’s some recent awesome ones I’ve found!

1. The Eagle and Child Pint Glasses. For my fellow Inklings fans, these might sound familiar. These come from the pub where the Inklings meet and discussed all the awesome things they discussed. I hope I’ll get to see the Pub in person again soon, but until then, these shall suffice! I promise if I go, I’ll bring back fun stuff to giveaway. $29.95

2. Pride and Prejudice Long Sleeve Burnout Raglan Tee. I’m slowly but surely working on adding some Jane Austen to The Shoppe! (like reallllllly slowly :), so I love seeing all the options out there! I think this shirt is the cutest from the style of shirt to the design. Love it all. $42.00

Need the perfection way to show your love of books? New Fun Finds for you!

3. “Don’t Talk to Me…” Sweatshirt. We’ve all been there. We know this pain. Our hearts have been stomped on and crushed, yet we still love the book. I can think of one I haven’t recovered from right now…$26.25

4. “A Book and Some Coffee” Spoon. Isn’t this the cutest? I’m pretty sure they have a tea one too, but I lost it in the Pinterest world. By that I mean I accidentally deleted the pin. Oops. But I love the creativity of this! $18.00

5. Harry Potter Star Confetti. Do you really need an excuse to have confetti of your favorite books? I think not. It only serves as an excuse to throw an epic book party. Ooooo….I just gave myself an idea….who wants to come to Austin for a book party? $8.42

What are your fun finds?

Fun Finds for the Booknerd #32

Y’all, I gotta be honest – it seems like I barely survived September and this first part of October. My house is a mess (like piles in my room I’ve never seen before), I’m way behind in reading (like when I don’t have time to read anything for an entire two weeks, something is off in my book balanced world) and the thought of having to clean puts me in a foul mood. Why can’t the bathroom scrub itself and the floor mop itself? Is that so much to ask?

The good news is Colorado was so refreshing last week and I finally got back into some reading (my soul was happy too). This also made searching for Fun Finds awesome!

1. Animal Bookmark. I just thought this was the cutest little bookmark! So creative and fun. Plus I definitely wouldn’t lose a bookmark like this. The Etsy shop has all kinds of fun options, so if a cute mouse isn’t your thing (I can’t help but think of Gus Gus), I think you might find something to your liking. $27.00

2. ‘So Many Books’ Print. I love when I find something that displays my life motto so creatively. This definitely does my bookish love justice! This is so fitting right now too, since I’m starting a new book pile on the floor. Oops. $24.59

Are you ready for some bookish fun finds and gifts? Check these out!

3. Harry Potter Socks. My recent HP finds have been on fire! How cute are these socks? Unfortunately I couldn’t find the link to buy them, but I liked them so much I wanted to post them – in case someone out there knows people who know people and could hook a girl up with some HP socks.

4. She’s a Catch He’s a Keeper – Set of 2 Pillow Covers. Need I explain? Best engagement/wedding gift ever. $49.00

5. Jane Austen // Pride and Prejudice Duvet Cover. This gets added to my list I’ve created for the perfect guest room – full of books, world maps and the perfect guest bed. I think this would be such a fun touch! $89.99

Happy almost weekend friends!

It’s summertime!! While I don’t get three months off anymore, I still love June, July and August. The memories, the warm weather, the vibrancy – it all makes me happy! Books and bookish fun also make me happy, so I vote we have another edition of Fun Finds.

1. London Mini Magnetic Bookmarks. I’ve mentioned my love of bookmarks before. More and more I’ve become a fan of the magnetic ones. My friend Cassie told me about these and aren’t they the cutest?? They have all kinds of designs, so I promise you’ll find something. $12.42

2. READ Scrabble Tile Letter Pillows. I can already picture these on my couch. If you need a cushion or two to read up against or extra back support – these fit the bill! $60.00

3. What Would Jane Do? There’s just some questions I know Jane would be able to help me out with. I bet this would be a great laugh too! $9.00

Fun Finds for all the readers in your life – the latest edition!

4. Not Horcruxes Sweatshirt. This gets added just for the amount of laughs I had when I came across it. The world would be such a happier place…

5. Literary gift book page print ‘May your shelves always overflow with books.’ I love the quote, I love the design and I want it! Perfect for a library, office or anywhere, this print will be sure to bring daily smiles. $39.88
