Guest Picks: 20 Fantastic Bookends

I love to read, but I’m often the read-and-pass-on type of bookworm. The exception to this rule happens when a book becomes a favorite, is a travel guide or is something I reference frequently. And when I do hold on to those books, I love to display them in my home. Here are 20 fun ways to display your own favorites. — Morgan from Pepper Design Blog
