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 🤣

Haha your shoulders are probably grateful!

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.

Thank you!! And ooh, yeah kindle people have even more flexibility than everyone else. It’s so slim!

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.

i love my baggu mini cloud bag, fits soo much, i’ve even used it as a carry on and it fit my two books, a planner, a journal, plus lots of other flight must haves.

Tembe Denton-Hurst's avatar

The Cloud Bag is my go-to for an overnight or a personal item at the airport. It's so roomy!

Love all of these, but that Poppy Lissman bag is now HIGH on my list. Ready for a visit to Book Club Bar!

Laur Large Ana bag for my laptop, charger and 1 thick hardcover or a thin softcover & notebook (unzipped). Really enjoyed this read/concept & the addition of other book lovers. 👜👜👜
