The Palace Library has had a few more deliveries recently, one from the book dealers and one from the printers. The owner (me) had a few flyers made to put up around the shop, and they look really good! (The ad for The Ghosts We Keep is from the real-life publishers, the other four were…… Continue reading Final Deliveries

Stocking the Shelves
“Oof!” The Palace Library’s just received another box of stock, and this box is actually interesting! The beginnings of the novel section, or about 34 books, made by me. There are two copies of each book here, because real-life bookstores have multiple copies too. “I wanna sort them into series’, so they’re easier to shelve,”…… Continue reading Stocking the Shelves
2020 Books
These are all the books I added to my shelves last year (wow, that feels good to say!). I bought Heartstopper vol. 3 in March just before everything went downhill, and the others I received around my birthday. I received or used gift cards on these books around Christmas this year. I am particularly excited…… Continue reading 2020 Books
History, Huh?
As Red, White and Royal Blue is one of my favourite books ever, of course I had to do something for this momentous occasion. This being the day that Alex Claremont-Diaz (in the book) made his speech and history remembered. I couldn’t decide between the plain black design and the Pride flag design, so I…… Continue reading History, Huh?
Three Years Later
Finally…. ….after what feels like three years…. ….I have a Carry On badge! This book has been a favourite for a long time now, and I hit roadblocks multiple times while designing it, but now! All that has come to fruition! Huzzah! I tried a new-ish stitch for the rose in the centre, which I think…… Continue reading Three Years Later
Continuing Getting Started
I’ve been making a few other textbooks for different subjects studied at the same university, amongst other education-related things. This is a very basic set of textbooks, for subjects that I thought of off the top of my head. I’d love to explore more obscure subjects, like, I don’t know, magic? Languages? Cultural studies? They’ll…… Continue reading Continuing Getting Started
Getting Started
Sarah’s made a trip to Flourish & Blotts today, not to add to her collection of novels, unfortunately…. ….but to get textbooks. (And one fun book about astronomy. S: It’s a stowaway, shh.) I’ve also made some notebooks, ready to be filled with notes; I made six different colours, so I’ve got a few spares just…… Continue reading Getting Started
New Year, New Books
With Christmas comes gifts, and in my case, a lot of those are books. Below are all the books I acquired in the second half of 2019 – thank you! These were all gifted to me except the two Heartstopper books – I bought them myself. Sarah also received books this year – she’s been…… Continue reading New Year, New Books
Crow & Cup
Without a cup.... ...with a cup.... ...and done! This quote and the crow & cup symbol is from the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo (which I highly recommend!). I mounted it onto a square of cardboard, but I'm still debating what to do with it. I could sew it onto a jacket as a… Continue reading Crow & Cup
More Books
Continuing on with the book theme from my last post... Alice Oseman is an author I really like, plus the fact that her books have pretty covers equals I must make these in miniature. I haven't actually read Solitaire yet, but I would definitely recommend the other two. I love how all the covers have cohesive… Continue reading More Books
