I still think Tom Taggart’s monster book nooks are fantastic, but the wait is long, and the price tag is appropriate for custom art, so I noticed when MenKind’s marketing emails mentioned book nook kits.
If I had the skills, these decorative bookshelf fillers would be more affordable and might be a fun project. If you’re looking for a collaborative project to do with dad or for him to have an excuse to spend some time alone, then building a book nook does both!
The book nooks tend to be just over 100 precut wooden pieces and come with little auxiliary tools, such as a screwdriver and small parts. Some even come with warm light strings so they can light up and glow wonderfully from between your occult tomes. Some of these nooks need batteries.
I’m a fan of the magic house because the terfy-one isn’t getting any royalties off this, the time travel book nook because a train bursting through the wall feels like my life and the romantic Venice street block because that is mysterious to me.
Jigsaws are a lot of fun, but a pain to keep once you’ve made them. I think book nook kits solve that problem. Once made, these shelf decorations can be left to snuggle gracefully on display, but hidden in plain sight too.
