The Crew of the Space Kraken Presents:
Bookish Pick-Up Lines
Last week The Crew of the Space Kraken told you what makes them want to pick up a book. This week we take book pick-ups in a whole new direction! We bring you our favorite Bookish Pick-Up Lines. Got someone you’ve been eyeing in the Romance section? Someone in Horror that sends shivers up your spine? Want to bring a little spark into your texts with your honey or significant other? Well, then do we have all the right words to perk up that certain special bookworm in your life!
Checking Out the Cutie in the Classics?
Roving for a Rawr in Romances?
Hunting for a Hottie in Horror?
Wanna Straddle Some Sci-Fi?
Frequenting Fantasy for a Fae?
On an E-Reader Looking for an Entanglement?
Traipsing Through the Thrift Store for Temptation?
Just Feeling Like Browsing the Bookmarks for Something Bangin’?
One Line to Use to Get Some Lovin’!
So, next time you’re in your neighborhood book chain sipping on your favorite latte, used book store chatting with the proprietor (or hiding from them if they’re overly chatty), thrift store, yard sale or flea market (hey, books can be found everywhere!) try using some of our awesome pick up lines. Actually, you know what? Don’t. It’s probably more likely to get you a disgusted look and security alerted (or, if you’re at a yard sale, the police) than get you a date for next Friday.
I hope you guys have enjoyed them at any rate. What bookish pick-ups would work on you guys? Any you liked in particular? Let us know! We all love a good ego boost now and then. Got any to share with us? We’d love to hear them! Drop them down there in the comments below!

I vote for the bodice-ripper, dust jacket, and bookmark lines myself.
Detective stories: “Mind if I investigate you?” Politeness counts when proposing debauchery.
Horror: “You’d be the star of any black mass.” Let’s not go into what happens to the stars.
Sci-fi: “I’m a time traveler and I know you’re going to enjoy going home with me.” Self-explanatory.
Romance: “Destiny has brought us together, and not for the first time. Throughout the ages, we have met wherever educated people gather. Our eyes have locked, we have exchanged the most elevated ideas, our spirits have become one, and we’ve joined our bodies as we’ve joined our souls. Don’t say ‘no.’ Bow to fate. Come join me in a journey of the mind, of the spirit, and of the automobile, so we can make the two-backed beast. . . . Wait! Was it something I said? It’s our destiny, you know. Come back!”
Ooh, that would have been a good one!
Those are all so great!
I intend to use ‘bookmark between your pages’! I can already hear my wife’s derisive laughter : )
Haha – please report back!
Yes, we need to know!
