How many times have you read your favorite book or How many times have you read your favorite book or series? 🤎

I’m a big fan of rereading, so my favorite books are picked up over and over again. I’ve read some of my favorites every single year for the last six years and some I’ve read countless times since childhood (here’s lookin at you, Narnia) 🙈

I love when I find a new book to add to my reread list. What was the last one you added? 🔁

The Ultimate Guide to the Best Online Bookish Shops

21 Fantastic Bookish Shops for You to Discover by The Espresso Edition cozy lifestyle and book blog

You asked, so I’ve delivered. In this post, you’ll find the master list of online bookish shops to check out!

Over on bookstagram, I’ve been asked several times about my favorite bookish shops, so I figured I’d finally put it together. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time and now it’s officially complete! Okay, not totally complete because I plan to continue adding to this list over time. I know that there are new bookish shops popping up every day and I want this to be a resource you can bookmark and come back to time and again to check for updated stores to browse.

The list I compiled is filled with stores that I’ve personally repped for and shopped from, along with a few suggestions from my fellow bookstagram friends. Keep on scrolling to begin shopping from some seriously fantastic bookish shops! Check them all out below.

21 Fantastic Bookish Shops for You to Discover by The Espresso Edition cozy lifestyle and book blog

The Master List of Online Bookish Shops

Janzy Wax Co

Bookish candles for everyone.

100% coconut wax candles (perfect for those with soy allergies or someone looking for a more sustainable option). This was the first company I ever “repped” for on bookstagram and I still seem to purchase 1-2 new candles for myself or a friend every couple of months because they’re just that good.

ESPRESSO10 for a discount.

The Seasonal Pages

The Seasonal Pages

Bookish stationary shop.

If you were to open any book that I’m in the process of reading, you would find a bookmark from The Seasonal Pages holding my spot. I’ve also been so lucky to work as a freelance photographer for this company as well!

ESPRESSO15 for a discount.

Storiarts

Where style meets literature. Every Storiarts purchase helps kids worldwide learn to read, write, & create.

This company not only has beautiful literary items, but they also support an incredible cause. Part of every purchase goes to LitWorld, an organization that helps tackle illiteracy worldwide.

ESPRESSO for a discount.

Lit Love Book Box

Canada’s most delicious book subscription box

Books, chocolate, and coffee? It doesn’t get much better than that! The coffee and book lovers monthly subscription box has all sorts of grand goodies. You can also subscribe to the indulge box or purchase special edition new releases for all your favorite authors!

Book Babe Designs

Graphic designer who loves to read

I’m pretty sure I’d just about sell my soul in order to own every design from this shop. Each season when something new drops, I feel like I need it in my closet. Each of the designs is super unique and hand-drawn, making them especially eye-catching and fun. It’s worth waiting for those seasonal drops!

Steeped in Lore

Steeped in Lore

The tale grew in the brewing.

While I chat about coffee quite often, I’m actually a huge fan of tea as well. In fact, on the day I wrote this post, I actually whipped up a honey chamomile latte with cinnamon and it was divine. Needless to say, I can’t get enough of these bookish teas!

Romantasy Designs

Bookish small business.

Ah, romantasy – the beautiful blend of romance and fantasy that so many readers crave, myself often included. This shop has some gorgeous designs for some of the most popular romantasy fandoms. They ship to both the US and the UK from their website, and globally from their Etsy shop!

Jordandené

Jordandené

Fandom in everyday fashion.

This shop is full of geek chic goodness and I constantly find myself wanting to buy up ALL of the VE Schwab merch. I’ve purchased several mugs from this website as gifts for my friends.

Book Chic Boutique

Book Chic Boutique

Handmade accessories for books and booklovers.

Truly, I’ve never seen a shop with so many beautiful booksleeves to choose from. Every time there’s a new drop of items, I find myself wanting each and every one of them!

Novel Grounds

Literary inspired designs for the reader.

This is another store that carries items you won’t find anywhere else. I’m constantly surprised by the updated designs and how they appeal to a really broad selection of readers!

The Dear Writer Co

A bookish shop for those living between the pages.

If I had the option to literally live in graphic tees, I would do so in a heartbeat. This shop has some of the cutest bookish graphic tees I’ve seen (and naturally, I want them all).

Willow & Quill

Vintage meets modern.

There’s something so incredibly calming about this particular shop. They carry a lot of minimal, neutral items and focus on things like bookmarks, blind dates with a book, and aesthetically pleasing booksleeves.

Caffeine and Curses

Represent your favorite books in style.

Whether you’re a fan of classics or contemporary, fantasy or dark academia, this store has something for everyone! I’m constantly swooning over their gorgeous designs.

Juniper Daisy Design

Fantasy inspired clay earrings and pressed flower resin goodies

Looking for a floral resin dagger? How about a unique art print? Maybe you’re a fan of stickers! You can find everything at this wonderful shop, which happens to be owned by a seriously creative and talented friend of mine.

Fable Grounds Coffee

Fable Grounds Coffee

Coffee fresh roasted in small batches for the book lover!

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love these coffees. I’ve ordered from them several times and really can’t rave enough. In fact, now that I’m talking about them, I’m considering adding a few new bags to my cart.

Library Lights Candle Co

Coconut wax candles inspired by books.

Disclaimer on this shop: after chatting with them a while back, they did tell me that they don’t use 100% coconut wax, but rather a blend of coconut and soy, so if you’re allergic to soy, be aware! However, if you’re not allergic or you only have a mild sensitivity, you’ll love these beautiful bookish scents.

Literary Lip Balms

Natural apothecary of scents and stories.

This shop was recommended to me by a friend on bookstagram and I am totally hooked! After discovering that they don’t use ingredients I’m allergic to, I knew I had to get my hands on as many of their divine items as possible. I mean – “Dirtyhands” cleansing spray? YES, PLEASE.

Blissfully Bookish Co

Wear what you read

I’ve found some of the most creative and fun designs from this shop! They have tons of collections for popular book series and they don’t limit themselves at tees and hoodies. They’ve got pajamas and jewelry and hair accessories and more!

& She Reads Co

Cozy vibes only.

Well, excuse me everyone while I go and drool over the beautiful mugs (and more) from this shop. This is a recent find of mine and now I want to make my wallet cry a little bit.

Fandom Sleeves

Fandom Sleeves

Bookish merch for book lovers.

You read that name and you might think that they only sell booksleeves – but, you’d be wrong! They also have cute t-shirts, scrunchies, and more. Such a great shop to browse.

Fiction Bath Co

Fiction Bath Co

Transporting you from one fictional world to the next, one pamper session at a time.

If you browse through bookstagram, you’ve probably seen this shop show up at least once because they are super popular! And unsurprisingly so, when they’ve got such a great selection! Sure, they have candles and soaps, but they also have mugs, tees, and so much more!

Are you planning any rereads this year? 🔁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you planning any rereads this year? 🔁

Rereading is something that I absolutely love to do. While there are countless new releases to get excited about, there’s something incredibly comforting about revisiting my favorite books. 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my favorite series to reread is SHADES OF MAGIC. Nothing gets me quite as excited and emotional as those opening words: “Kell wore a very peculiar coat…” 🙌🏼 AH! Just writing that makes me anxious to pick up this comfort series again this year. 🙈

Have you read this phenomenal series? 📚
