About

There are plenty of attractive men in the world, but unfortunately few of them that are avid readers. Welcome to "Hot Guys Reading Books" the blog that scours the internet for examples of luscious literary men and gathers the evidence in one place.

Hot Guys Reading Books is updated almost every day.

Submissions Welcome!

You can submit here.
OR, submit your photos to hotguysreadingbooks@gmail.com.

Don't think the guys are hot enough? The quality of the photos are only as good as the submissions. If you think you are (or know someone who is) hot stuff, snap a photo, and send it in!

Meet the Writers

Alli has a degree in English and still reads profusely even though she works in software. HGRB was Alli's brainchild, and she still cannot believe how popular it's gotten. Aside from reading and blogging, she enjoys drawing, adrenaline inducing adventurous activities, and making her friends laugh.

Kristin is a twenty-something grad student and future English teacher. She procrastinates by baking, crafting, shopping, riding her pink bike, and reading books that aren't course requirements. Kristin believes in the cause of hot guys reading books so much that she found one of her own, and now she raids his bookshelf all the time.

Consider Lindsay a twenty-something Anne of Green Gables. She works in a library and a middle-school. She enjoys eating mint chocolate chip ice cream while plotting to take over the world, crocheting Harry Potter-themed scarves, taking her dog, Penelope, for long walks, and reading as many books as she can get her hands on. She even has a literary tattoo. Once, Lindsay was compared to President Garfield.

Brandon is a young man who is possibly obsessed with both books and guys. He is pursuing a Degree in English and Library Science, with plans to own a bookshop later in life. He enjoys all kinds of sweets, very rainy days, dancing, and the color pink. He's immensely proud of being a half-Cuban and the small personal library he owns.

When not doing the school thing, she works as a freelance sports writer for an embarrassingly low price. She enjoys time with her dog, Maggie May, sewing items that her mother has to fix, hotdogs, and summer camp. Her bucket list includes learning to play the cello and living on the Pacific Northwest coast.

Leslie’s husband caught her checking out HGRB.  Instead of becoming justifiably jealous, he “grabbed the manliest book on the shelf, Beowulf.”  Then he insisted she submit his picture.  Although he hasn’t read Beowulf yet, he is an avid reader.  His last triumph was finishing the Wheel of Time series just because his wife loves them!
 I have decided to give him a pass for posing with a book he hasn’t read for two reasons.  First, he has purchased my favorite translation of Beowulf.  Second, he does look very manly.  If a third reason was needed, it would be that he takes book recommendations from his wife.  
(thanks, Leslie!)

This ultra literary guy is married to our submitter Christina: “He teaches books… well, high school English, but that’s basically reading books. In this photo, he’s reading Stephen King’s latest, Full Dark, No Stars.” I’m digging how intense he looks in this photo and his awesome Batman t-shirt. Gotta love a guy who has the best qualities of grownup and child.
I think the “Eat Sleep Read Love” poster in the background sums everything quite nicely.
(thanks, Christina!)

Say hi to Joe! Nyssa sent in this picture of her husband (lucky girl!) reading a manga at Coffee Bean. Just so you know, your husband has great taste! D.Gray-man is an awesome manga.
The submitter writes, “After taking this picture, I had to send it to all my bookworm girl friends… It was unanimous that the next step was submitting it to Hot Guys Reading Books. I don’t think Joe has stopped blushing since I told him.” Aww, that’s adorable! I can’t imagine how much cuter your husband is when he’s blushing.
(thanks, Nyssa!)
