Happy Tuesday, y’all! Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, so Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl gave us a freebie. I’m not sure about you, but in my household, Thanksgiving means the crazy holiday season is here. This year, I’ve decided I want to share some Lego sets for book lovers. These would all be great gift ideas!
All links are to the official LEGO website.
Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook
I’m positive every book lover heard about this set when it was announced earlier this year. There are mysteries to be solved as you build this book nook. Or if you prefer, it can be opened to view a street scene.
The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook
Lego has a handful of sets that are Lord of the Rings-based. I feel like this book nook would be a perfect gift for a fan of the books or movies.
Glinda & Elphaba Bookends
Yes, I know this set is more based on the movie than on the books. But it’s still a bookish item.
Book Nook: Hogwarts Express
This set is a 2-in-1 set. How? It’s a book nook, but it can also be turned into bookends!
Twilight: The Cullen House
I know, I know! But the movies are based on a book series.
Jaws
Yes, I know, it’s a movie. But did you know it was a book before it became the hit movie? I think you’re gonna need a bigger shelf!
The Going Merry Pirate Ship
This Lego set is inspired by the super-popular manga, anime, and live-action show, One Piece. It’s one of several One Piece-themed Lego sets.
Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull
Yes, I know, I know this is a movie piece. But hear me out. The original Jurassic Park movies were adaptations of the Michael Crichton novel.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Stop fussing at me; I know this is a Lego movie set. But the movie is an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The Orient Express Train
While this isn’t directly linked to a book, it would still be a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. It’s even better if the person is an Agatha Christie fan.
Typewriter with Flowers
I actually have this set on my holiday wishlist. It’s small, at around 5 inches high, 4 inches long, and 6 inches wide. This is actually a 3-in-1 set that can also be made into a keytar on a stand or a flowerpot with a pen and notebook.
These are just ten of the many LEGO sets for book lovers. Have you ever received bookish Legos? Or given bookish Legos? Will you be adding any of these to your Christmas list?

Omg these are great! I would love to receive lego sets as a gift 😍 I always hesitate to buy them though because I never know where I’m gonna put them. My space is already super cluttered with the way I magically accumulate things 😂
I love the typewriter.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
They are amazing! My partner loves Lego and our sons are just starting to get into it (ages 7 and 2). For Christmas my partner got me the Jane Austen Lego set (he gave it to me early because it was second hand and he didn’t like the box that it came in 😶 I wasn’t bothered by the box 😂)
Have a great week!

That Willy Wonka set is awesome. I want it. 😂
I didn’t know the Willy Wonka set existed until I put this list together. It looks like so much fun.
I don’t think I had many or played much with Legos as a kid, but some of them are so fun and cool! Love the Sherlock one. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list today.
My oldest daughter is a huge Lego fan, and as such gets everyone a Lego set every year for Christmas. Though she’s threatened to stop if we don’t build them.
I want so many of these sets. Such a great idea!
i have the little pink typewriter and it’s adorable!! I highly recommend it 🙂
It’s on my Christmas list that I’ve shared with my husband and kids. We shall see if I’ve been a good girl at Christmas!
So intricate!
If I has space, I’d have *all* the Wicked lego! 😂
These are all amazing! I especially love the book nooks though 🙂
What a fun list! I have absolutely no space for Lego in my one bedroom apartment, but I want most of these, especially the Sherlock and Balrog ones.
These are so awesome! I especially love the Harry Potter one. Happy Tuesday and Happy Thanksgiving!
These are all so fun. I have been thinking about getting my husband the typewriter set for his desk at work 🙂
oh these look great!
I love it. My kids are really into Legos. Happy Thanksgiving. Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2025/11/25/top-ten-tuesday-11/
These are so cool! I had no idea they existed.
This is so cool! I confess myself partial to the Wicked one. I’m taking my sister-in-law to see part 2 soon! I still need to read the book 😬
I hope you enjoy watching the movie!
My husband is a HUGE Lego lover. He bought me a unique bookish one (I can’t remember what it’s called – it was a special freebie last year, I think) for Christmas and hasn’t built it because apparently it’s a collector’s item now? LOL. We saw the typewriter one at Costco the other day. It’s cute!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I have that set too! My husband ordered Lego for the girls just so he could get the bookish set for me.
These are all fabulous! I’m going have to seriously think about those LEGO book nooks and maybe add one (or both) to my wishlist.
These are awesome, Pam. I had no idea that there were so many Lego kits based on books.
OMG, so cool!!
These are all so fun! The Cullen house!
I love these and would love to own them. I didn’t know about the Jurassic Park dinosaur fossil. That one is so cool (and it totally counts). 🙂
What a fun post!
I bought a Lego set of a bookshop last year for myself, only to discover it is too hard for me to put together by myself. lol
