15 Literary Mugs Every Book-Lover Needs

Like most people, the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is start the coffee maker. The second thing I do is stare at my massive collection of mugs and try to decide which one to use for the day. The simple white one that makes me feel like I'm in a Parisian cafe? Maybe the Harry Potter one with the quote "Espresso Patronum"? Or what about the one with the Mockingjay symbol on it? Even though I have too many mugs for my own good, that doesn't stop me from buying more.

As a big coffee and book-lover, there's nothing better than a mug that marries those two things together. Starting off your day with an inspirational book quote and a strong cup of coffee can often cure the Monday blues. And as far as I'm concerned, no one can ever have enough mugs, because no one can ever have enough coffee.

In case you're in need of a new mug, or maybe you're searching for the perfect gift to give your book-loving friend, I have just the thing. Affordable and adorable, who could ask for more? Here are 15 mugs every book-lover should invest in right now:
