★ What would you say is your most prized book? Definitely one of mine is my signed UK edition of Nevernight! I had it signed at the very first book event I’d ever gone to (Yallwest 2019), and I recall Jay mentioning how uncommon it was to see that edition, and we chatted about it for a few moments while he doodled Mister Kindly, signed, and personalized it with the tagline. 😱 It was really special moment that I’ll never forget. I was also excited to see @illumicrate created a replica of Mia’s Gravebone dagger for the May box, too! These daggers are one of my favorite things Illumicrate has included in their boxes and @stacey.mcevoy.caunt has done an incredible job with them! Swipe for a closer look!

★ Are there any characters from Greek mythology you’d like to see a novel written about? I’m a big fan @madelinemiller’s Circe (I love The Song of Achilles too!) and don’t think I’ll ever be sick of reading similar stories inspired by Greek myth. I’m also a big fan of @illumicrate’s series Greek mythology inspired teacups and saucers, each with art by @niallcgrant! The most recent came in the May box, and features the Goddess of Night, Nyx. Athena (bottom), the Goddess of Wisdom, was included in the August 2021 box and Nemesis (top), Godess of Retribution, was included in the November 2021 box! I spy some other Illumicrate goodies in the background, too. 👀 Remember, you can use code LIBRARY5 to save on 3&6 month Illumicrate subscriptions! ★ HASHTAGS //    #bookstagram #bookphotography #instareads #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #prettybooks #goodreads #bookhoarder #bookstack #bookhoarder #bibliophile #illumicrate #illumicratemay2022 #GreekMythology #booksandtea #adsom #thewinnerscurse #shadesofmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CfiDY4ArROU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

★ What is your favorite book by Holly Black? If you haven’t read any, do you plan to? My favorite @blackholly book is The Darkest Part of the Forest! I still need to read a few others, including Book of Night, but it’s easily my favorite! Have you read The Darkest Part of the Forest? It’s set in the same world as The Cruel Prince and Modern Faerie Tales. At the top of the stack is @illumcrate’s gorgeous edition of Book of Night! I love, love, love the white cover. ★ HASHTAGS //    #bookstagram #bookshelves #stacksaturday #bookofnight #modernfaerietales #thecruelprince #thewickedking #thequeenofnothing #hollyblack #illumicrate #illumicratemay2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXcZx3vw_Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

★ What are your favorite customizations to see on a book? Happy Thursday, friends! Book of Night was @illumicrate’s May book and featured this stunning embossing on the hardcover, spine, and a quote on the back, designed by the ever talented @rosdottir! For me, I like foil embossing on the hardcover and stenciled (or sprayed) edges! I also really like when bonus chapters or character art are included in the book, too. ★ HASHTAGS //    #bookstagram #shelfie #livelifebeautifully #momentofmine #aestheticpost #stillography #flashesofdelight #prettybooks #beautifulbooks #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookphoto #ofquietmoments #stencilededges #ofsimplethings #illumicratemay2022 #illumicrate #hollyblack #bookofnight https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJ1ph6Jp_q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
