What Makes It Uncommon

Reading time is sacred—so we made not one, but two ways to honor it. Choose our original Book Nook Reading Valet, with thoughtfully crafted spaces for your book, glasses, beverage, and phone. Or opt for the new Daily Literary Quote Interactive Book Nook that lets you enjoy a fresh quote from a classic work of literature every day. Whether you're deep into a novel or just popping in for a literary pick-me-up, there’s a nook to suit your bibliophile style.

  • Carry from place to place or leave in your favorite reading corner to keep all your essentials together.
  • Rest your book on the triangle between reading sessions to mark your page.
  • Hide your phone from view in the triangular opening to keep your mind on your book.
  • The Interactive version features a built-in QR code that delivers a new literary quote every day for a whole year—just scan with your phone to reveal a fresh line from some of the most beloved classics.
  • Engraved with "Save My Spot" on the front; "To Be Continued" on the back.
  • Soft, scratchless feet on tray bottom.
  • Please note: Each item is individually crafted and there may be differences in wood coloring, grain, or texture from the photos.
  • Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Designed in Brooklyn. Made in India.

Great gift!

Got this as a birthday gift for my mom. Very well made and looks really nice on her side table!


Pretty and functional

Nice on the living room end table or nightstand. I added a little rubber coaster into the carved cup holder to protect the nice wood.


Wonderful Gift I LOVE IT

I received this as a Gift and since then I have purchased it as a Gift for others. They LOVED IT


Poor quality control

The quality control in this was poor. Nick's on wood throughout. Rough edges where wood glued together and on the inside portion for phone, it wasn't sanded or sealed. Very disappointed as it's for a gift.

Response from merchant

Hello! We’re so sorry to hear this wasn’t received in excellent condition. This is very unexpected and we want to address this, we’re reaching out to assist.


Couldn't Be A More Perfect Booker Lover's Gift

If you have someone in your life that loves books this is the most perfect unthinkable gift that could be given! I bought this as a gift as long with the qr book mug and it's an awesome combo that they use every day. Highly recommended. It's unique and functional!


Reading Valet

This is a great addition to my reading nook in my sunroom!


Great Gift!

We bought this as a gift for a book lover and they were so thrilled to receive it! They have shared that the item is great!


Recipient appreciated the gift!

I purchased this as a "more thoughtful than flowers" Mother's Day gift for a first-time mom in my family. As a reader and tea drinker, she was surprised and pleased. I think it makes a great reminder for a little personal time. It arrived in a very timely fashion. Unfortunately, the note I added didn't seem to make it with the gift. I'll add an extra layer of communication next time I send the gift direct.


Well received gift

I bought this for my former-librarian and current bookworm mom, for mother's Day. She loved it, and we bought agreed it was beautifully made - like most things I find on Uncommon Goods!


Perfect Gift!

My siblings and I bought this gift for our mom for Mother's Day, along with a book. As someone who is always misplacing her things, she loves it! It's nicely made too.

What is weight of the book valet

Verified reply from Ashley

Great question! The weight of our Book Nook Reading Valet is 3.80lbs.


Is this big enough to hold textbooks?

Verified reply from Itamar

Hello! The measurements are as follows; 10” Lx 7.5” W x 7.25” H. These may be too small for a standard size textbook.


If someone didn't wear eye glasses, what else might fit in that spot? Pen and pencil?

Verified reply from Itamar

Correct! You could use the spot next to the mug holder for a number of items. Pens, pencils, sticky notes, book marks, stickers. The choice is yours :^)


Can it fold flat?

Verified reply from Itamar

Great question! The Book Nook does not fold down.


What us the diameter of the mug holder?

Verified reply from Itamar

The diameter of the cup holder is 4 inches :^)


Hello! Would this fit a magazine, as opposed to a book?

Verified reply from Itamar

Great question! Most magazines would not fit this reading valet for a variety of technical reasons, size, spine strength, firmness of the paper, etc. :^) Enjoy with your favorite book instead!


Can this book nook hold a paperback book or only hardcover ? Seems like paperback might be hard to hold ?

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! Because this item comes to a point at the top it should work just as well for a paperback!


What are the measurements? Base and height?

Verified reply from Jasmine

The measurements are 10” L x 7.5” W x 7.25” H.
