Jana has prompted us book bloggers to list the items we’d use/bring to a Bookish Party.
Before I list what items I’d include, it’s important to clarify: what IS a ‘Bookish Party’?
After a 2 minute search on Google, I can conclude that it’s absolutely anything that involves the theme of books. This ranges from fun book clubs to glamorous weddings! I think many would plan for a Birthday Bookish ‘do, but I’ve decided to plan for a Very Well Organised Book Club.
Book Club: Young and New Adult
Attendees: 5-10 people
Top Ten Bookish Items:
1: The Grand Opening Celebration Cake
2: Tea (Pot + Cups)
3: DIY Bookmark Station
4: DIY Cookie Station
See a cute video of Bookish Cookies here:
5: Dress Up Section
Perhaps as a fun game, people can draw a random card with a character on it. They have 60 seconds to dress up as best as the character, while the rest of the participants guess who it is! (see a great list of bookish characters here)
6: Silent Reading Cushion
When (inevitably) everybody wants to stop socialising and start reading, they can get their little snug corner ready!
7: Oodie
Has anyone else seen these all over their YT ads!?!? I SO BADLY WANT ONE (#NotASponsor)
It’s like it’s a new generation of Snuggies!!!
8: Kindle Charging Booths
In the RARE OCCASION your Kindle or beloved eReader runs out of juice, run to the charging booth station GO GO GO!
9: Goodreads and Booktube Capsule
If you’re as vocal as I am, I’ve GOT to keep Goodreads nearby– I need to post my thoughts/reactions as I progress through my read. If you are more into ranting and having a visual element, look no further. This party will supply private ASDFGHJKL; Booths for you to rant and rave about your current read! And you won’t have to worry about the other party guests, as these capsules will be sound-proof!
10: Tissues and/or Stress-Balls

Aww thank you, Brooke! I was struggling to think of 10 whole items: all I want is a book, a comfy reading position, and some silence!!! 😛

I love the book tube capsule. I think I’d get one of those for home, party or not. My family can’t seem to stop interrupting me when I’m reading. If I can hear them, they can’t interrupt me.

How are you coping with the lockdown? I find it hard to read in peace lol — and I can’t even escape to my wonderland: the library!!! Argh.
Yes, apparently they cost about $10,000 lol. One can dream!

Pretty good. I like spending a lot of time indoors so this feels relatively normal for me … if I can manage to forget everything that is going on outdoors.
Those pods look really cool though … I may have to start saving up.

Looking into the pod company, it looks like they design these pods to replace dorm rooms at colleges :S OMG– I’d get too claustrophobic if that was my dorm !!

I mean my room at uni was pretty small, and my room at home is even smaller. I think I could make myself quite comfortable.

I 100% endorse the idea of Oodies as required party fashion! (I don’t own one either but they show up in my ads all the time… I feel so seen.) Great post!
