Happy National Book Lovers Day 2023! We love any excuse to chat about a good book or do anything book-related. So, whether you are looking for inspiration for your next read or you’ve been curled up with a good book that you just can’t wait to talk about, you’ve come to the right place.
What is National Book Lovers Day?
Today is National Book Lovers Day which celebrates everything reading and literature related. This unofficial holiday (which should be official, in our opinion) encourages book lovers everywhere to put their smartphones away, sit back, relax, and pick up a book to read.

Organise your bookshelves
Few things that feel as good as reading a gripping book. But one of them may be organising your bookshelves in an aesthetically pleasing way. Whether you’re an avid reader who has built up quite a collection over the years or you are still a bit of a novice, you can still make your bookshelves look great. Book collections can also be a great part of your home’s aesthetic and a room’s decor.
If you have a fairly big collection, we recommend sorting it through and clearing it out first. If you have books you’ve read already or don’t plan on ever reading, you could donate to charity or pass them on to friends and family. While you may automatically think just to place them on a shelf, you could order them by genre, author’s name, or even by the colour of the spines!
