Because if they can’t hit the broad side of a barn with their blasters, they should at least be good at something; these are the Stormtrooper Bookends made by Nemesis Now and available on Amazon (affiliate link).

If you like to read, you probably have at least a few books lying around and not neatly placed on bookshelves. There are lots and lots of choices for bookends to keep them tidy, but I really like the idea of these bookends that look like books.

You’ve seen the trailer for the latest Terminator movie, now check out these Terminator T-800 hand tankards and split head bookends from Merchoid. The Terminator is back, and this time he’s coming after your wallet. Both are cast in resin and are hand painted to look like metal.

While the Imperial AT-AT Walker was designed as a war machine on legs, it really ended up being quite a flop due to its fatal design flaws. That said, AT-ATs do make pretty cute pets, if you housebreak them.

They say that books are portals into other worlds, and that’s actually very true. You might say that books are our very own portal gun. So these Rick and Morty Portal Bookends are the perfect way to keep your books upright.

Being a child of the ’80s, I had a fully-decorated Star Wars bedroom for much of my youth. I was well known for buying cereal for the toys and joining book clubs just for the gifts and prizes.

James T. Kirk. He’s a hero. A legend. He’s captain of the starship Enterprise. And now he wants to hold up your books. Is there anything this man can not do? He is sitting in his chair looking thoughtful as usual, but ready for action.

Your kids will love these cool Batman bookends. Adults will love them too. They’ve got a library sign on one side, and Batman reading on the other. He’s probably trying to figure out how to fix the Batmobile – reading a Chilton’s guide or something.

There is only one seat worth fighting for in all of Westeros, therefore you only need one Game of Thrones Bookend. You can support your books on the other side by using your wall – not THE wall.

The thing about a healthy love of reading is that you accumulate far too many books. Occasionally you need to organize them and clean up. This set of Doctor Who TARDIS bookends will help.

This set of  bookends takes me back to the classic era of Doctor Who. I mean, there is a large tentacle monster, the TARDIS, a bunch of pipes and some barrels, all in a creepy castle-like room.

I know the chances of a giant monster actually living at the bottom of the ocean are pretty slim, but the ocean is a very deep, and why tempt fate? The Kraken is probably one of the worst mythical sea monsters out there – reaching up to crush ships with its disgusting slimy tentacles.

These Imperial Seal bookends are definitely the simplest Star Wars-themed bookends we’ve featured so far, but no self-respecting Emperor is going to be caught using AT-AT bookends. In fact, I don’t think the Emperor needs bookends at all.

While I still have years worth of old paper books lying around my house, I have to be honest and say that I don’t read much in the way of physical books anymore. Other than the occasional graphic novel or comic book, I prefer to read on my iPad these days.

I have a recurring nightmare about being attacked by some sort of creature with too many legs. I’m not sure if it’s from playing too many FPSes, or from reading about Cthulhu. Heck, maybe it’s from visiting the aquarium.

While physical books and magazines are clearly going the way of the dodo bird, one genre of print which is still going strong is the graphic novel. And you can’t mention graphic novels these days without mentioning The Walking Dead.
