New October LEGO GWP - 40698 Books Are My Passion

This literary GWP is Fr An's winning design from the LEGO Ideas fan design contest. It was initially titled “Reading, Reading, and Reading.” The creator is an avid reader, and her perfect day would be to settle down in a comfy chair with Earl Grey tea and a bookcase stocked with novels specifically picked for her.

The winning entry has now been officially made by LEGO and is set LEGO 40698 Books Are My Passion. It is currently available as a Gift With Purchase for orders of £120 or more and will be offered until November 11, 2024, while supplies last.

"BOOKS ARE A UNIQUELY PORTABLE MAGIC"

Using 285 pieces, LEGO 40698 Books Are My Passion is the perfect way to create your own literary escape zone. This idyllic reading nook features:

• A bookcase stocked with many vibrant coloured tomes
• Practical desk with ink pot and quill for the aspiring author
• A ladder to access the hard-to-reach classics

The bookworm LEGO Minifigure is in her element surrounded by the many books.

She has a beautiful blue armchair where she can unwind and lose herself in her books. To complement her reading sessions, she enjoys a cup of tea, as reading can be thirsty work! To add a touch of worldly adventure to this vignette, there is a globe on top of the bookcase and an exotic potted fern.

LEGO 40698 is the perfect way to dress up your desk or book nook. Writers and readers, young and old, will both delight in this cosy little scene.
