Now Accepting Submissions!

Our motto around here is: Books are Beautiful. We love books, their authors, awesome people who read them, the inspired who turn them into art, and cute puppies that sit next to them.

Robert Pattinson with a book!

A puppy with books!

Walt Whitman and his glorious book-writing beard.
His eyes wordlessly sound a barbaric yawp over the 
roofs of the world...

Books are meant to inspire. This blog is dedicated to spreading booklove via media (images, videos, quotes, etc.). The blog runs on submissions from you, your acquaintances, your friends, your family, and your strangers.

So, please, email theblazingbookshelf@gmail.com with your submissions. And long live the book!

What is the Blazing Bookshelf?

The Blazing Bookshelf is a place to honor books. Books are beautiful.

The book has been burned, banned, and censored. And yet, it lives on as the most reliable way to store stories and information, and the most comforting way to spend a sunny afternoon.

Our name, The Blazing Bookshelf, is in honor of those books that have been challenged, those authors who went hungry to write their ideas, and those libraries burned as arrogant, inane, violent acts against ideas.

Nazis are not the only book burners in history, but perhaps the most notorious.

But ideas can't be killed. So join us in celebration of The Book, and its home, The Library, and its creator, Humankind.
