The Highwayman

"I don't respect the law, Jimmy. But I think I respect you."

thoughts and a look inside the design of the book under the cut!

okay so I've been sitting on this cover of @envelopedbyoblivion's The Highwayman for months. It's a rancher duo fic where Jimmy is a sheriff and Tango is a bandit (and so much more)! Go read it if you haven't it's so so good I promise

This was initially a passion project for my portfolio meant to be printed into a real book, but I couldn't keep up with deadlines and I ended up not being able to use it :(

However, the whole book is formatted for print (which took so many months oh my god). I'm hoping one day I can actually get it printed because it's one of my favorite fanfics of all time and I'd kill to have a physical copy.

I also got to work with them to create this whole thing. Formatting books is so much work and they were so nice and patient with me ;;; Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to do this and for creating this amazing story :] <3

if anyone is curious about my design choices I'd be more than willing to ramble about them. I spent way too long on everything from fonts to the page dividers

THE GOSPELS OF HENRY THE LION, COUNT OF SAXONY, DUKE OF BAVARIA, HELMARSHAUSEN ABBEY (c. 1173-1175)

The Gospels of Henry the Lion were intended by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, for the altar of the Virgin Mary in the church of St. Blaise's Abbey, Brunswick, better known as Brunswick Cathedral. The volume is considered a masterpiece of Romanesque book illumination of the 12th century.

Until Bill Gates bought The DaVinci Codex, this was the most expensive book ever sold at auction [$13.4M]

DON’T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME ; WRITTEN BY @word-wytch // mock up cover front & back

THE REVIEW — 🍎🍎🍎🍎

This story deserves an A+!! But for real though, I was a little unsure about this one at first. I’m just not a fan of the whole Eddie x teacher!reader thing, never really got into it, if I’m being honest – Buuut, then this got requested, and I JUST had to check it out! AND OMG!! Y’all, Im honestly so glad I decided to take a chance on it and read it because HOLY CRAP I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! There’s only a few chapters, and wow I’m already addicted because it’s just that good! 😍The teacher is so caring towards Eddie, and his crush on her is sooo adorable (& hot). I also ADORE the story she let him read, I want that to be a real thing!! I can’t read to read more, I want these two to just get it on already and be in love!

little note : I’ve been a little absent lately, & I just want to personally apologize for that! I’m currently working on my own story, and tryna get my comic made. 🥲 covers might take a little longer for me, & I’m also closing my request for now!! When things are more settled, I’ll open them up again! 🩷

As I mentioned in my last couple of posts I decided to take the weekend off studying, to recharge a bit. I need some rest to do all the studying I have to in the next few weeks. Today was already different from what I had planned, but I definitely rested. I am happy to say I slept till 9 am which is very unlike me but I really needed it. I took the morning slowly, I continued my book. And then in the afternoon I went shopping with my mom. I haven't in so long, it was actually pretty fun, and I am very happy to have found some summery trousers because I really needed a pair. Going out with my mom means I didn't read as much as I wanted, and I haven't even worked in my garden as I had planned, but it's okay, if tomorrow won't be raining I will do the garnden work once I get up in the morning. I doubt I'll finish the book this weekend as I was hoping. I am struggling a bit, I feel like the beginning, where chapters were a bit shorter, worked a bit better for me. I am finding it a bit slow at the moment, but maybe it's also just me being tired and not focused enough, I don't know. I am nevertheless intrigued to so what will happen next, so I'll keep you updated.

Productivity and self care:

read first thing in the morning

listened to a feel good playlist as I was cleaning my room up

listened to a couple of old episodes of the books unbound podcast

wore a nice outfit that made me feel good about myself

went out with my mom (and actually bought myself something other than books? I cannot remember when was the last time?)

practiced Irish on duolingo

continued reading The Left Hand Of Darkness

📖: The Left Hand Of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

THE REVIEW — 🩶🩶🩶🩶

Two things ; 1.) I went hella hard on this cover, ngl — which for an incredible story like this?? Worth it. I decided to include not only the pen pals letters, but also some of the little doodles I think Eddie would draw in the margins! 🩷 2.) This is actually the first inmate!Eddie story I’ve read, and holy crap, I am absolutely HOOKED. I loved him so much, especially that pent up drive that pours out of him when they do the nasty!! It’s soooo hot, soo good, and I honestly want him carnally. 😩

just a heads up besties, I’m taking a break from cover making and tending to my own projects! I have a few art pieces to get done!!
