THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: How does reading making you feel?

I’m super excited to tell you about (book/author/bookish-news)… I got some book merch recently for the new house and I’m so excited about it. It’s all Raven Cycle merch, but I got a print and some throw pillows off Redbubble.

I’m not at the new place right now, but tomorrow I’ll come back here and add pictures of the stuff.

I got:

• Watercolor Raven – A pretty photographic print of a raven over some fancy cursive text from the book. It’s so so pretty!
• “Safe as Life” Pillow – It’s a really pretty sky blue pillow that goes well with a painting I already own.
• “Dreamers are to be classified as Weapons” Pillow – It’s got this floral print thing on it too that goes with one of my abstract paintings I already own.

How does reading making you feel?
Well, it’s a satisfying experience no matter what, but when the book is really good it’s way better. Like it empties my mind and my stress and fills it all back up with another world and a kind of ultra-contentment. There’s nothing at all like it. Which is probably why I consider access to reading material pretty much the most important thing in life.
