Have you heard of book nooks? No, I’m not talking about a little corner where you can curl up undisturbed with your favorite novel. These book nooks are tiny, fanciful glimpses into fantastical worlds that are made to be tucked into your bookcase. Like Easter Eggs for the literate. And the Ohio-based artist behind June’s Book Nooks makes some truly beautiful examples.
As proof that June’s Book Nooks are the gold standard, her Etsy shop sells out every time she puts something up. And the waitlist is so long, she’s actually stopped taking new names. So I guess we’ll just have to be content to ooh and aah.
You can see all of June’s Book Nooks on Instagram, and you can (try to) join the waitlist on Etsy.

I’m just imagining how magical a discovery this would be for a child who came upon it in a random bookcase. I’m sorely tempted to sneak one into one of our book cases and let the nieces discover it in their own time.

I don’t know. I can’t imagine they’re super inexpensive, considering the work that goes into them.

One of my friends introduced me to the concept of book nooks a couple of months ago and I have been thinking about them ever since. These are next level wonderful though. I can see why she sells out as soon as she makes them. I love, love, love the Harry Potter themed one. I have actually contemplated attempting to make my own book nook. It is on my never ending To Do list.

Mine, too. I really like the paintings on the backs of things and the use of mirrors to give the illusion of depth.

Just like Laura I want to make one myself. But I doubt that will ever happen but I can dream. Again, I went to her instrgram site and liked everything she had on it and I am now following her also. I wonder how she makes some of the flowers that look so realistic. Jut outstanding craft work. Even this old man, set in his ways has no problems calling her work ‘art’. Wonderful. I could only fine one with a price, which was very reasonable IMO. Wonder what a complete one sells for. I will be checking often. Hal

I truly love her work, and I absolutely agree with you that it’s true art. So beautiful and inventive!
