I absolutely loved these photographs! The pairing of gorgeous aspirational (and occasionally attainable) book nooks for every room in the home with matching lists of books to read was... well, lovely. I want my husband to look at this and help me figure out how we could turn some lesser used areas in our home into book nooks for me and my son! Especially loved the idea of books absolutely everywhere- which is my life now as it is, just without such pretty photos and arrangements,

This book had some beautiful pictures of book displays and shelving. I love how it as broken up by category Children’s, Cookbooks, etc. The book also included some fun list of books to read and libraries to visit. I enjoyed the book and pictures but I as anticipating more of a “how to” and book decorating advice than finished project. Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle books for an advanced digital copy.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read the ARC for this book. This book provides the reader with a lot of inspiration for how to arrange and feature books in aesthetic ways.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for a review.

This book is definitely #aspirationgoals. It's the perfect coffee table book for bibliophiles and full of ideas and filled me with so many plans for my own home library. I loved the images within this book and it was a joy to flip through and look at the various reading lists and ideas for things I could do. I loved this!

3/5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers, and Vanessa Dina and Claire Gilhuly for allowing me to read and review this book.

This is a cute and informative book on different types of book nooks, tips on organizing them, and reading lists from different authors. It gives a lot of recommendations on what to stock your shelves with based on your favorite authors and types of books.

This is a good coffee table book for any book lover's home. It has a lot of cute pictures within and lists of book recommendations. Any book lover would benefit from having this coffee table book in their home.

The photography in this book is absolutely gorgeous!! Enjoyable explanations as to the the thought process behind the styling. However, this is most definitely a book about book styling and not one about setting up functional book nooks for readers. There are books placed spine-side in (though, it is mentioned to not style this way if you need frequent access to the books), and worst is the books stacked on the staircase. Beautiful, yes, but quite the tripping hazard. Overall, a nice book to look though or maybe reference for styling photography sessions.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to the e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you to Chronicle Books and NetGalley to granting me access to this digital book in exchange for my honest thoughts!
I loved leafing through these pages of beautiful book nooks of all different shapes, styles, aesthetics, and colors. It really shows how books not only are enjoyable to read, but enhance visually and artistically any place they are in.
As a person who decorate with all my bookshelves, this book was definitely one I would want on my coffee table.
My favorite part was that they included a section about little free libraries. I love LFLs and glad they get some recognition!

This is a great guide to book nooks and how to set them up in your space. From classic book nooks to creative ones inspired by color or gardening, this has every possible plan you can think of.

Book Nooks by Vanessa Dina and Claire Gilhuly is the perfect coffee table or decorative book but so much more. Great depictions of gorgeous ways to utilize space and color throughout. A spectacular gift for the book lover in your life. Such a beautiful book. I'm planning to buy a copy when it is released.

Who wants a coffee table book about book shelves? ME!!!!
Despite being beautiful to look at, it's filled with guest authors from chefs, to self help writers listing some of their favorite books, including Alex Elle, Jasmine Guillory, Julianna McIntosh, and more!

Whether you want to find a place for your kids books, your cook books, for small spaces, for collectors, or for your bedside, this has everything. I'm so happy to be able to read this in advance. The only thing I'm missing is the physical hard copy which I plan on buying!

This book was cute comprehensive overview of all the ways you could display your own book nook. If you need some ideas you should check it out.

Thank you Netgalley for a chance to take a peek at this book.

Book Nooks has a very specific style and reader in mind with the photos provided. All of the looks are modern, angular, and focused on lines. This isn't really my style so I wasn't as drawn in by the photos as I would have been if it had more range. In fact, some of the photos seemed catered towards people who want to look like they read but don't. Placing books around house plants, in bathrooms, and other areas that will damage the books made me cringe as a reader that adores books.
While I can tell that there was a focus on sharing book love and must applaud Dina and Gilhuly for their seeing that readers are a major market today, this book did not hit the mark for me.

As an avid book lover, I spend a lot of time and have a lot of pride in my book shelves and book designs, meticulously integrating beloved titles and gorgeous spines in my home decor. This book was inspiring and made my heart ache with happy. There were even book suggestions by well-known authors, and the best part: B E A U T I F U L photos! A book nerd’s dream come true.

I’ll be adding this to my collection near my plants and antique cameras! Run don’t walk. Get your hands on this title!

I enjoyed the photographs and ideas for creating special reading spaces and displays, as well as the recommended reading lists. This is quite a collection of unique nooks.

A fantastic coffee table book! It's so interesting to see how they create cozy, gorgeous, unique book nooks in different / unexpected sections of the home - bathroom, baby, cookbook area. Also unique is the different types of people whose book dens they exhibit - the collectors of books, the gardener with books incorporated in their plant full home. Good as a flip through, coffee table book.

This book was not exactly what I was expecting, and I'm okay with that. I was expecting to see the white shelves and rainbow sorted shelves that are popular on Bookstagram and BookTube. Nope! These shelves are more styled and tie into themes of the rooms they are housed in. One of my favorite ones was a little stack of books where we are told to stack books up at different heights. Now when I do this I am called a book hoarder.... lol

But yes, Book Nooks gives readers tips and hints on what to do with their books to make a cute display. Also included are author or other industry related people's picks on specific subjects. I do wish we could have been given a glimpse of their individual bookshelves or reading spaces. Even still, much enjoyed.

As a book lover who likes to be surrounded by books, this was a fun book. It inspired me to try out a few new things with my book organization.

BEST. COFFEE. TABLE. BOOK. IMAGINABLE.

Beautiful graphics, blurbs from authors, inspiration galore - this book is a hit. I’m buying it for every person I know that owns a house. If you aren’t a reader, this book will make you wish you read!

Book nooks indeed! Thirteen chapters of innovative ideas, from classic to small space to bathroom to bar to kids to simply colorful. The emphasis on 'books as decor' is less than helpful - for me, anyway...I'm more interested in practical matters such as can I find what I want quickly? In general, though, worth a look. Among my favorite ideas were the classic built-ins (of course), a window bench with a shelf underneath, and a converted armoire with bookshelves and a seating area for kids.

"Book Nooks" offers a variety of ideas for storing books in different rooms of your home. While some ideas may not appeal to everyone (stacking books in fireplaces or displaying them spine in/pages out), the book provides nice pictures for a lot of different situations.

The section on little libraries stood out to me as the best. Overall, the suggestions tend towards a more disheveled look than what I prefer, and feature a lot more general shelves than what I would consider a book nook. However, if you like scrolling Pinterest for home inspiration and are an avid reader, I think you will certainly find some inspiration within its pages.

Thank you to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book.
