Book puns are not only good for a laugh or an eye roll. They’re great for libraries, for teachers, and for other book lovers who want to find clever, catchy ways to draw attention to books and reading. There’s a reason that book puns show up on fun t-shirts, tote bags, and mugs: readers can’t get enough. Plus: puns are part of what makes language fun. I’m a wholehearted word nerd, and being able to play with language only makes me love the ability to use those words even more. Find below over 70 fabulous—and sometimes downright terrible—book puns. Some of these take on classic books, some take on the reading life, and others are a bit of library humor. I’d love to hear some of your best and brightest in the comments. Hit me with your best puns.
