I am a big fan of books with a plot involving books. When a character is also a big book reader and cherishes books, you can instantly put yourself in their shoes. That is why we will be discussing the best books about books!
My favorite thing about books like these are how the authors are also able to share their love of books through their protagonist. Many of these novels are in fact love letters to books by the author. If anyone knows the importance of books, then it is definitely authors.
Some of the books on this list have become my favorite books and I reread them often. The magical feeling they convey as well as reminding me the power of books is something I am always grateful for. You can see the full list below!

One of my favorite books of all time is The Book Thief I read this novel often. Everything about this novel is perfect and it shows the power of books and why people fear them.
The best book about fearing books is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and this is a must read. Bradbury imagines a world where books houses are burned because they encompass books.
Another favorite of mine on this list is The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. The novel is Morgenstern’s love letter to books and you can feel how much she loves books the way this novel is written. The magical element makes you really appreciate the power of books and how some stories never leave us.

Loved the book thief and Farenheit.
Dear Reader by Cathy Rentzenbrick is a great non fiction read about her love of books. I’d also recommend the Reading List it’s a fab story about how books can bring people together.
