I also love the Baggu to carry for when I pick up more books and need an emergency tote to carry them home in 😉

Noooo, this was so cute! I definitely need to step my book bag game up because I’m tired of carrying a traditional book bag. It makes me feel like a kid 🤣

I truly love this post! I My two bag picks would have to be the A.P.C. Le Pocket shoulder bag or Rebecca Minkoff's Eddie Bag. These are specific to paperbacks and kindles though as I'm not normally a hardcover girl.

I'm surprised I didn't see the telfar totes! The medium in 'tan' is my go to for conferences when I'm often carrying books, my planner, laptop, and collecting a bunch of flyers, cards, and pamphlets!

I love my Telfar! But I've also noticed it does wear over time, especially as I carried more stuff in it. I still lug it around though, it's so spacious.
