25 Most Beautiful Pinterest Pins for Bookworms


by

December 14, 2011
Pinterest, the latest social media craze to cut a populist swath across the Internet, makes storing curious, educational, and other interesting bits of digital ephemera super simple. The site swarms with crowdsourced content, swapped between the passionate and others looking to connect, so of course, bibliophiles frequently make grand use of it. If they can’t have some of the lush items or scenes depicted onscreen in real life, they at least enjoy a gosh-darn fine way to live vicariously through them! Or find inspiration for seriously cool DIY projects! Or lots of things! Here are some particularly appropriate pins that will surely flip bookworms out.
  1. Dream Home/library


    Pinterest (and even Jason McNeely’s Dream Home album!) enjoys no shortage of lush libraries, which could fill an entire list. This particular beauty sports an Old World classical aesthetic, complete with a sepia-toned globe, wrought iron, and even a sliding ladder! Droooool!
  2. Books/a literal love of reading


    This photo attempts to capture what it feels like to get lost in a beloved read, whether picking it up for the first time or fiftieth. It’s a quirky, creative interpretation of what it means to super duper love books and everything they offer.
  3. Things I love/books books books


    Fans of both the written word and The Smiths should check out this adorable bit of art blending lyrics and illustration. Darling little children enjoy some books in both a structural and entertainment sense, surrounded by one of the more fit-to-print moments from “Handsome Devil.”
  4. Frozen in Time/book sculpture


    Pinterest’s digital seams creak beneath some of the Internet’s most wondrous examples of sculptures created from repurposed books. They depict a wide range of subjects in an even wider range of styles, but this particularly striking piece takes a comparatively minimal approach with its depiction of a man’s face.
  5. Places to Go/Trinity College, Dublin


    One of the most gorgeous institutes of higher learning in the world not only houses the spectacular Book of Kells, but a Long Room sure to make any avowed bibliophile swoon. No pictures out there — even this particularly gorgeous specimen — truly do the archives justice. Experience them in person, if possible.
  6. All things Beautiful/bookworm


    Art and bibliophilia collide in a drop-dead stunning photo worthy of high-end fashion glossies and galleries. For those willing to experience a visual assault of bright blue, a spectacular dress and chair partly constructed of discarded books await.
  7. Paint and Polish/bibliophile nails


    Click the pic for The Looks for Less’ instructions on creating an absolutely adorable manicure using newspapers. It’s a fashionable, rather simple strategy for showing off a love of books and an appreciation for all things aesthetic.
  8. Bookishness/Literature vs. Traffic

    A 200-book pile-up might very well prove a dream come true for photography and literature buffs nursing a love of all things surrealist. Beautiful and clever, many a bookish type will likely find this fun image quite the show-stopper.
  9. MAKE!/Books Books Books


    This modular bookshelf is so amazing, readers might not want to use it for storing their collections! Design aficionados should also check out this super cool pin that seriously shouldn’t be spoiled here because of its awesomeness.
  10. pretty things/literary


    Bibliophilia no doubt inspires multitudes of tattoos, some beautiful works of undeniable art, some ill-advised, and others somewhere in between. As one can probably imagine, the ink featured here falls into the first category, featuring a wonderful visual proving that a love of literature is far more than skin deep.
  11. School stuff/book cover

    When seeking strategies for customizing new or old reads, looks towards this simple and simply divine sewn felt job. Any decoration works, of course, but nothing says bookwormitude (and an appreciation to a gift receivers!) like the little heart featured here.  Continued
