Book Lovers Day 2021

Now, really, every day is Book Lovers Day at the Butterflies & Aliens Library of Literary Eccentricities & Rareties, but since the all-knowing interwebs say this is a with-capital-letters Day day… albeit with an origin story lost to the mists of time… we did feel we had to post a little something to our Bookish Calendar.

Some of our Chief Alien’s book about the love of books and reading (yeah, even the ones titled I Hate Reading and No Reading Allowed)

A selection of our Butterfly-in-Chief’s books about books and bookish things.

Given our fascination with books, not surprisingly the Butterflies & Aliens stacks include a growing collection of books about books and things books adjacent… bookstores, booksellers, libraries, print culture, book design, reading, book collecting, to name but a few.

For our inaugural Book Lovers Day, we’d like to share just two small shelfies of some of our books about books.

Let us know if any of the titles catch your eye and we’d be delighted to take a closer look in a future post.

But in the meantime, we here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library are going to be taking some of our vacation time to read some of these books for ourselves!

Happy Book Lovers Day and Happy Reading!

– Winston & Stacey
