Custom Sprayed Edges

Shop: Painted Pages Library

This is a bit of a bigger ticket item, but have you ever wanted a sprayed edges version of a book but can’t find the perfect special edition? Look no further! I have bought of this shop in the past and they do an incredible job. Linked is a special edition of my favorite read of the year, Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson.

Check out Painted Pages Library on Etsy

Both volumes have a rich burgundy cover with gold accents, and the title is prominently displayed in gold lettering. The edges of the pages are gilded with intricate white designs, adding a luxurious touch. A small bundle of dried lavender is placed in front of the books, contributing to the cozy and elegant atmosphere of the scene.

Ship Keychains

Shop: She is Sketch

Who doesn’t want their favorite ship hanging from their keys!? This shop has an incredible selection, especially of enemies to lovers ships. My partner and I each have one of our keys (Reylo and Geralt/Yennifer), and we adore them!

Gaming Pillow

Shop: The Valari

This is a fabulous product. It is designed for gamers but also works really well for readers! I know as I entered my mid-thirties, back pain became a real issue. This pillow helps you comfortably keep good posture while supporting either your controller or your book!

Book Tracker Bookmark

Shop: Le Willow Bean

My absolute favorite bookmark! I love being able to finish a book and then fill in
the next spine, giving myself a visual record of all the books I’ve read recently. So
fun! And I didn’t even have to sign into Goodreads!

Shop Le Willow Bean on Etsy

The image shows a hand holding three decorative bookmarks shaped like stacked books. Each bookmark features a stack of illustrated books in muted colors like pastel pinks, greens, and grays. The spines of the books have various titles written on them, resembling handwritten text. The bookmarks have a tassel at the top, and the overall design is whimsical and charming, perfect for book lovers.
