I LURVE good bookish stuff. Like, absolutely adore it. (If you needed proof of my adoration, check out my weekly Book Fetish column over at Book Riot.) My closet is practically overflowing with the literary tees and totes (seriously, Rach, how many bookish tote bags do you need?) But I can’t stop, won’t stop.
Some of my favorite bookish swag enablers (ahem…retailers…) have been kind enough to donate some amazing prizes to this round of readathon, and I figured I can’t be the only one that loves their bookish swag. For this hour’s challenge task, post a picture in the comments with all your best bookish gear. Mugs, tees, totes, jewelry, show me what you got! This challenge will be open until Hour 42.
(My poor wallet is going to weep, isn’t it?)
It’s noon on the official readathon clock. Which sounds like prize time to me. Here are the challenge winners from our Hour 24 Spine Poetry challenge.

I haven’t been able to buy too many bookish items yet (besides books, because that’s a necessity! lol) … but I did get a Sorting Hat necklace at King’s Cross while I was in London last year ❤ I also got a Ravenclaw notebook, but unfortunately I haven't found it yet 😦 We just moved a month ago, still unpacking boxes … anyways, here's an old picture of my favourite necklace in the world:

I am very bad when it comes to buying bookish/book swag as I spend all my money on books to add to my overgrowing book collection, but I do love anime and mange.

I spend way too much money on actual books. There is nothing left for bookish swag! 😞 I did once have a Jane Austen tote that I bought in high school. I carried and washed and carried and washed that thing for 20 years until it fell apart.

I’m not big into bookish swag, but I do love the Harry Potter frame my in-laws gave us for my little guy’s 1st Christmas — complete with an adorable posed photo. Ahhh, that was back when he used to sit still — and was sooo little, where does the time go?!

no swag here. However, I JUST (as in yesterday) told my husband that I want a bookish tote. Let’s see if he remembers in October. My son has a cool tshirt from the Library of Congress that says “Got Books?” but he’s a teenager and still sleeping and Lord knows where I would find it in his room………I don’t have time to waste looking for it—–I’m reading!
