3 Ideas For a Bookish Self-Care Day

If you're looking for a way to de-stress and recharge, we highly recommend taking a bookish self-care day! It's a great way to escape from the everyday world and immerse yourself in a story. And the best part is, you can customize it to fit your own needs and preferences.


01. go on a bookish picnic

Pack a basket with your favorite snacks and drinks, and head to a park or other outdoor spot. Bring a good book or two. Invite a friend, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon in nature!

If you're going with friends or family, you can make the picnic even more fun by playing book-themed games or activities. No matter how you choose to spend your bookish picnic, make sure to relax and enjoy the experience. Reading in nature is a wonderful way to unwind and de-stress.

02. create a bookish playlist

Deepen your connection to a book you love! Create a custom playlist that matches the mood and tone of your current read. You can also try to find songs that match the setting or time period of the story.

Once you've created your playlist, put it on while you're reading and enjoy! You'll be surprised at how much it can enhance your reading experience.

03. take a book bath

Relax and unwind after a long day by filling your bathtub with warm water and some essential oils or bath salts. Light a candle to set the mood and enjoy a peaceful soak with your favorite read.

If you have a waterproof e-reader, you can even bring it in the bathtub with you. But if you don't, a good old-fashioned paperback book will do just fine. Just don’t drop your book in the water!


No matter what activities you choose, bookish self-care is a great way to relax and de-stress. So take some time for yourself today and curl up with a good book!

How do you like to unwind after a long day?
