I decided to rebind the ACOTAR series as I read them. I’m reading ACOWAR atm, and almost done with the rebind for ACOMAF. In the meantime, I finished the rebind for book one!!!

I’ve never done a printed cover before, so it was definitely a learning curve, but I really enjoyed the process.

Also, why did no one tell me these books were actually political and contained things like deep philosophical discussions of trauma??? The “there are many different kinds of darkness” scene was absolutely brilliant!

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

Finished my bind for A Court of Mist and Fury. I admit I don’t like the rebind for this one as much as book one. The edges are not as good as I had hoped 😔

i'm curious, because while i certainly have genres i favor, i genuinely don't think there are any genres i dislike - every genre i can name at least a couple titles i've enjoyed.
