It's true what they say: we like to judge a book by its cover. But how can we not when book lovers are using them so creatively! In case you're wondering what we're on about, it's that time of the year again when the #bookface challenge is making readers and bookstore employees line up their face (or another body part) alongside a book cover that features a matching body part. Sort of like a melding of life and art, using books to strategically chameleonize yourself with the environment.
It's such a fun and wacky tradition that Bored Panda can't help but share what folks from the Librairie Mollat bookstore in Bordeaux have come up with this time. Surely, this isn't their first collective effort — you could say they're some of the best bookfacers out there. And there are over 100 photos to prove it.
Hopefully, our compilation will inspire you to take a crack at the challenge yourself. Who knows — perhaps the next #bookface challenge post will be all about you, dear readers.

I started noticing the clothing. The French (at least these book readers) dress much more stylishly than your average American.
I love cool random projects like this. It seemed like everyone involved was way into it too, which makes it all the more fun. Also, I caught myself with the "hey she is smoking in a bookstore!" ... "Oohh..."
