11 Awesome Bookends For Your Favorite Novels
One thing that I’ve been completely obsessed with since being a small child was reading; I would always be caught reading some book or another when I was younger. I remember reading the first three Harry Potter books in third grade, and because I was new to public school, that was the first time I’d heard of this series. I blew through those books like they were nothing, as they were a super easy read. I did challenge myself a bit more at the beginning of fourth grade with reading books like, White Fang and The Hobbit. Yes, I absolutely love reading, and even though I don’t have as much time for it now at 27, as I did when I was a kid, I still enjoy a good read after a long day. My husband and I’s collection of books is still growing every year, but one of our favorite investments that we made was buying bookends for our cherished novels. It helps to keep our books so much more organized, while also adding in some flair. Here are 11 awesome bookends to keep all your favorite novels from toppling over one another.
1. Arrow
I honestly think that this cast-iron metal arrow from Amazon would make a very cool addition to your collections of books. These awesome bookends hold plenty of style, and the detail on each end of the arrow is simply amazing. Plus, with cast iron being notably heavy, you should have no fear of some of your heftier books falling over. I like that the arrow looks to be shooting right through each of the books in between; it makes for a pretty sweet-looking effect.

I love the intricate detail that has gone into them, and they greatly remind me of a Ponderosa Pine pinecone; a lot of them are actually the size of these bookends believe it or not.

Now, I realize that these awesome bookends are holding up a collection of Blu-ray discs, but they can also just as easily contain your collection of books.
