The new school year is just around the corner! Now’s the time for what I consider one of the best parts of the back-to-school season: shopping for school supplies. I loved school shopping as a kid because every item was an opportunity to show my personality. I remember purple and teal composition notebooks, novelty erasers, highlighters in every color of the rainbow, and scented markers (but you wouldn’t believe how disappointed I was that my graphing calculator only came in black).
So when The Broke and The Bookish announced that this week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt would have an open-ended back to school theme, I knew I wanted to make a list of back to school items for book lovers. Below you’ll find everything from backpacks to study materials, all with a bookish theme. May they help you ace that classic lit exam…and maybe strike up a friendship with a fellow book lover!
P.S. Since we’re all book lovers here, I just wanted to note that your supply shopping can benefit National Novel Writing Month by shopping through Amazon Smile! (NaNoWriMo didn’t sponsor this post, I just think they’re really awesome. :))

I love that book backpack! Unfortunately, back when I was in school, we had to haul around a mountain of textbooks. They wouldn’t have fit in there. 🙁
ThinkGeek has a red messenger version of the same backpack. I got it for Christmas last year and I looooove it! I use it for tutoring all the time! But when I think back to my English major days at college…you’re right, there’s no way it would have fit all my books! XD
I want like 99% of this stuff now. Especially that t-shirt. 😀
Here is our TTT.
Lol me too! Especially the notebooks. I have a weakness for cool notebooks.
So much cool stuff here!

Thanks! I love your book list. There are some great titles on there (they’re basically all on my TBR, so I’m hoping to get to them some day!).
Aww thank you! I hope you enjoy them when you get to them 🙂
