Falling Books Bookend

These people don't know it, but they're not in actual peril. They do look like a pair of B-movie victims, so this leaning bookend is a great spot for a bunch of pulp fiction books or schlocky horror novellas.

Stormtrooper Bookends

These are in fact the Stormtroopers you're looking for, especially if your collection of Star Wars graphic novels needs some help staying upright. The pair uses the Force (or maybe that's the force of gravity) to hold up anything you feel like standing up between them.

Sailing Bookends

When you're finished reading the Master and Commander series and finishing your adventures with Stephen Maturin and Jack Aubrey, the books will have a happy home between these ends. The wood sailing ship looks like something out of, well, a novel and has masts to catch the wind and sail away.

Vise Grip Bookends

If this was an actual vise grip you'd never be able to get the books between its clamp ends apart. Lucky for you, they only look like vise grips, and vintage ones at that. The duo are made with real iron so they'll hold up anything you put between them.

Mortal Kombat Bookends

Finish him! And by him we mean your book. Seriously, let these Mortal Kombat bookends be the excuse you need to stay up late and read. The officially licensed figures portray a rather graphic scene but for hard core dudes who need some video game decor for the man cave, they can't be beat.

Hands Together Bookends

OK, but are these prayer hands bookends or high-five bookends? The question about the emoji also applies to these bookends. Put your books about critical thinking, philosophy, and pop culture between the plastic bookends and *thinking emoji* as you ponder the dilemma.

Dinosaur Bookends

Take a trip back to the Cretaceous period and do a little Tyrannosaurus reading with these happy dinos. Technically they're herbivores so there's not a lot of T-Rexing going on, but for a kid enchanted by dinos, they're sure to inspire lots of happy storytelling about their favorite creatures.

Book Bookends

Just in case there was any question as to what goes between these two metal bookends, the bookends have gone and explained it. If you want to get smart, you could always put something like boxes holding puzzles between them.
