Perfect for you if...
- You spend more time thinking about books than actually reading them, and you want something beautiful to admire whilst procrastinating. You follow bookish Instagram accounts and have a shelf dedicated to displaying your prettiest editions. You give thoughtful gifts to other readers and need something that celebrates the culture you're part of.
Maybe not for you if...
- You don't care much about book aesthetics or the performative side of reading. You're looking for practical reading recommendations or writing advice, not artistic reflection. You find essays and poetry tedious and want narrative-driven content instead.
