10 New Michaels Book Lovers Items Flying Off Shelves This Week

Calling all bookworms! Michaels just dropped its Next Chapter collection, an array of bookish tchotchkes that celebrate the love of reading, and must-have items start at just $9. There are tons to browse through, but I rounded up the prettiest shelf decor, coziest pillows, and best book-inspired items worth buying. So without further ado, here are the 10 best new items from Michaels’ New Chapter collection.

These ceramic tabletop book-inspired signs can serve as paperweights, wall art, or shelf decor. They’re designed to look like street signs, with creative addresses like “Romance Street,” “Fiction Avenue,” “Fantasy Lane,” “Thriller Drive,” and “To Be Read Blvd.” The signs retail for $13 each.

Store photos, handwritten cards, and bookmarks in these decorative book boxes, which resemble the classics such as Wuthering Heights ($10) and Little Women ($9). They would look so pretty displayed on a mantle or bookcase—and no one will know they’re doubling as storage!

However, if you need more storage space, opt for “The Book Club” Flip-Top Storage Box ($30) or “Book Lover” Flip-Top Storage Box ($20). They have a soft magnetic closure for safekeeping. The “Book Club” version offers more room and is big enough to store standard-sized books.

Add a pop of color to your reading nook with one of these bookish cross-stitch throw pillows (retailing for $30 each). Each pillow features a book-inspired phrase with florals or stripes along the trim. Choose from five designs:

• “The Book Was Better“
• “Currently Reading“
• “One More Chapter“
• “Sorry I’m Booked“
• “Read The Room“

When it comes to desk tchotchkes, this gorgeous Ceramic Trinket Box ($15) caught my eye. Shoppers say they use it to store paper clips, rubber bands, binder clips, loose coins, and other small items.

Sip on your iced coffee, wine, and tea in style with a book-inspired glass or mug. Michael’s Next Chapter collection has a ton of different designs and mug/glass shapes to choose from, including:

• “Currently Reading” Glass Cup with Bamboo Lid & Straw ($13)
• “Book Was Better” Stemless Wine Glass ($10)
• Ceramic Mug with Book Trope Design ($13)
• Ceramic Mug with Library Due Date Design ($13)

These would also make excellent gifts paired with a coffee shop gift card, mini tea variety pack, or wine bottle.

Are you a hopeless romantic or a fantasy fan? Choose your fighter with a “Romance Reader” Wooden Tabletop Decor Sign ($17) or a “Fantasy Reader” Wooden Tabletop Decor Sign ($17).

Display fresh flowers, succulents, or small plants in this Book Garden Glass Tabletop Vase ($25) or Ceramic Books Decorative Holder ($25).

There’s no such thing as having too much storage. Nab this Book Garden Decorative Open Book Bin ($30) or “Reading Is My Therapy” Decorative Open Book ($25) for all your organizing needs. Plus, they look cute enough to have out on display, too!

Your bookcase will look extra studious with these fancy Gold Reading Glasses ($17).
