LEGO Icons Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook 10351 (B&N Exclusive)
Our exclusive LEGO Book Nook brings a little Victorian London charm to your shelf. Tucked between your novels, it opens up into a hidden alleyway, a revolving bookstore window and the iconic 221B Baker Street – complete with a glowing fireplace, clue board and even Sherlock’s violin. It comes with minifigures of Holmes, Watson, Irene Adler, Professor Moriarty and Paige (a new face on Baker Street!).

LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook 10367
This one’s been making noise for months and now it’s finally here. The Balrog Book Nook has had fans buzzing and it’s every bit as epic as expected. Slide it between your books for a peek into Middle-earth or open it up to reveal Gandalf’s legendary face-off with the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.
The build features a blazing wall of flames, a dramatic plaque etched with “You Shall Not Pass,” and two detailed, poseable characters: Gandalf the Grey and the mighty Balrog with unfurled wings and a fiery whip in hand. Whether it’s the emotion of the iconic scene or the sheer scale of the display, this one hits hard – and looks incredible on any shelf.
LEGO Harry Potter Book Nook: Hogwarts Express 76450
All aboard! The magic of Platform 9¾ just pulled into your bookshelf. This clever build features a cutaway view of the Hogwarts Express, capturing that unforgettable moment when Harry and Ron first head off to Hogwarts. Place it between your favorite reads and you’ll see the train rolling right through your shelf – complete with mirrored details that make it feel even longer.
Harry, Ron, Hedwig and Scabbers are all along for the ride, and you can choose how to show it off: keep it closed for a cozy book nook look or split the train in two to use it as bookends. However you display it, it’s a fun and nostalgic nod to the start of a magical journey.
Whether you’re a longtime LEGO builder, a devoted book lover or just someone who wants to add a little magic to your shelf, these Book Nooks hit all the right notes. Just be warned: once you add one to your shelf, you’ll want to make room for the whole collection. Get your LEGO Book Nooks now before they’re gone – they won’t be on our shelves for long.
