Here’s the thing about merch for underrated books: Everyone says they want more of it for their underrated faves. But if you want it ‼️YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO BUY IT‼️ when someone makes it. Or if you are unable to buy it, SHARE IT! Show interest and excitement. Help spread the word! Commenting and liking is really the absolute baseline of what you can do and doesn’t really help other people discover it as much as sharing it does. Creators only have so much time and resources. Most of them are trying to make a profit, even if it's only a tiny one. If they make stuff and it doesn’t sell, they're not going to consider more worth their time or effort. If it’s not selling, they’re not going to make more. This mildly exasperated and disheartened caption is brought to you by a bookworm who is trying to make merch for less well known books but is often disappointed by a distinct lack of positive results 🙃 Im still need to all this, but I can tell you there is a DRAMATIC difference in store traffic when selling popular vs underrated stuff. When I pulled a lot of my old designs from my store to start updating my style, particularly the ACOTAR bookmarks, I went from three to four orders a week to zero. ZERO. I’ve been lucky to get an order or two per month ever since honestly. Sometimes it feels like I’m sending more bookmarks to my reps than to orders. It starts to make you question why you bother. I’m hoping that once I get some new popular series designs done and up, more traffic will return and bring eyes to the underrated book stuff. (as a side note: this isn't specifically about my Poison Study bookmarks, just underrated merch in general. My Poison Study release is going well). (and by well I mean two people have bought stuff. Just one person buying something is a win for me 😂) //CHALLENGES// #bookishbellesjune21 - To All The Boys: Favourite Couples #Bookishconlifejun21 - Piranha Plant- Books and Flowers #MyFandomObsessionsJune21 - Loial + Erith: gentle #RFABJune21 - Cover Buy https://www.instagram.com/p/CPxg3w2rKof/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: Which author takes up the most space on your shelves?. I think its pretty obvious @cassieclare1 owns a significant amount of real estate on my shelves LOL. If I had the space I'd probably have an entire bookshelf dedicated to #Shadowhunter books!. Today's @illumicrate challenge is to show off the Book Pot that came in their Infernal Devices box - it's the Shadowhunter Codex! This book pot is pretty large, larger than Illumicrate's standard book pots so I was surprised - in a good way. I'm not sure yet what I'll keep in here, maybe bookmarks or even a plant! #ILLUMICRATETID #BookishBellesJune21 - #TheMortalInstruments Angels/Demons #wanderingmystical - Fave rereads #BombBooks621 - Meant to be OTP #AlltheBooksJune21 - Five favorite series #darklibrariansread - Favorite character growth #booknookbingo - Longer than 400 pages #ontheseblacksandsjun21 - Book that hurt (aka ending of Clockwork Princess...). #boostingya #Illumicrate #CassandraClare #CassieClare #TheInfernalDevices #IllumicrateArchives #Shadowhunters #ClockworkAngel #ClockworkPrince #ClockworkPrincess #InfernalDevices #TheDarkArtifices #TheLastHours #shadowhuntersunday #shadowhuntershelves https://www.instagram.com/p/CQdpLPALZUH/?utm_medium=tumblr

ℚ𝕆𝕋𝔻: Have you read any gender-bent retellings? If not, is there one you’d like to read or wish was written? ⁣ ⁣ LEGENDBORN!!! This incredible book is a gender-bent retelling of the legend of King Arthur. And it is so good!!!⁣ ⁣ Legendborn has everything . . . amazing characters, complex world-building, a magical tournament, sorcery, romance, and a whole lot of adventure! Plus there is some kick-ass Black girl Magic and a whole bunch of epic twists!⁣ ⁣ This sequel is one of my most anticipated reads. Legendborn ends with a MAJOR cliffhanger and I need more!

Q: Tell me some of the books that got you into reading. Or if you can't remember, tell me the books that sparked the love for your favourite genre(s). Kelley Armstrong is the author that really got me into urban fantasy 😁 It started with her YA trilogy Darkest Powers, then quickly moved onto her Otherworld seires. She also got me into thrillers back in the day! I'm currently doing a massive reread of her Otherworld universe books and I am LOVING it! It's so wonderful to return to this world. It is giant though: 13 adult novels, 8 YA novels, 5 novella/ short story collections, and some more bonus online short stories and graphic novels! 😅😅 //CHALLENGES// #bonnypages - Book Rec #bookishbellesjune21 - Vampire Academy: Vampires #booksarepugaliciousjune21 - Emberfall (A Curse So Dark and Lonely): urban fantasy #MyFandomObsessionsJune21 - Lews Therin + Lanfear: legendary #fantasyfriday #RFABJune21 - Book & Flowers //HASHTAGS// #kelleyarmstrong #bookstagram #bookworm #aussiebookstagram #bibliophile #booklover #booklove #urbanfantasy #bookpile #paranormal #shifters #shifterbooks #autobuyauthors #booksandcandles #booksandflowers #reader #reading #tbrpile #tbr #toberead #bookish #bookstack #bookphoto #newbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CQigADprRfP/?utm_medium=tumblr

“The God of the Dead represented everything she wasn’t—something dark and tempting. Tempting because he was a mystery and mysteries were adventures, and that’s what Persephone really craved.” - A Touch of Darkness . . 🌟QOTD: what was your latest wild and crazy read? . . Hello friends and happy Thursday!! I am so so excited to share this super fun Hades cosplay today!! I have always loved a good Hades/Persephone retelling and A Touch of Darkness has become one of my favorites!! I don’t usually like a contemporary setting but something about the gods in a modern city just works sooooooo well!! I cannot recommend this series enough and I’m dying for more books from Hades’ POV!! Stay tuned later for another fun cosplay reel!! I hope everyone has a great day!! . . #CourtofReading - World you want to live in #BookishRoadTrip21 - Wonderland: wild and crazy reads #bookishbellesjune21 - Princess Diaries: Royals #allthebooksjune21 - book and flower . . #hadescosplay #bookcosplay #cosplaygirl #bookishcosplay #atouchofdarkness #scarlettstclair #godofthedead #tbrpile #biblio #booksonbooks #bookclubs #avidreader #readingismagic #instareading #booksharks #bookaesthetic #bookishlife #bookaholics #bookwormproblems #homelibrary #booksoninstagram #bookchallenge #bookstagramit #bookshelves #rainbowbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CP8cdHDLmom/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: Whats the most unusual item you've seen in a book box that you really liked?. These Acrylic Figures were not something I was expecting in the @illlumicrate The Infernal Devices box, but they're so cute! I love the details in them and of course I adore @cassiejp's artwork, so these are a great addition to my Shadowhunter shelves. #ILLUMICRATETID #BookishBellesJune21 - Many Adaptations #MyFandomObsessionsJune21 - OTP #boostingya #Illumicrate #CassandraClare #CassieClare #TheInfernalDevices #IllumicrateArchives #Shadowhunters #ClockworkAngel #ClockworkPrince #ClockworkPrincess #Shadowhunter #InfernalDevices #booksandflowers #bookishflatlay #sprayededges https://www.instagram.com/p/CQbI6ajr0tX/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Even with the hundreds of feet of distance between her and the ground, she knew there was no safer place than in his arms.” - Divine Blood . . 🌟QOTD: have you ever participated in a read along? . . Hello friends and happy Thursday!! In just over a month the Divine Blood read along will begin (swipe to see the schedule) and then in two months Bonded Fate is released!! I am so so happy my friends all convinced me to read this book but it was so amazing!! I don’t want to give away any spoilers but one of my favorite scenes was the first time Dyna meet Cassiel. I definitely cracked up the first time he called her a stupid human! So of course I had to cosplay him because who wouldn’t want to be a gorgeous celestial!! I cannot wait for book 2 and hope everyone gets a chance to read this beauty before it comes out!!

“He had my whole heart, and he had from the moment he allowed me to protect myself, from the moment he stood beside me instead of in front of me.” - A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire . . 🌟QOTD: do you like vampire books? What is your favorite? . . Hello friends!! Well yesterday was a very interesting day and I am very glad it is over!! Now hopefully I’ll get my bathroom sink fixed and then spend the day reading!!

This incredible book tells the story of Felix, a transgender teen who wants nothing more then to fall in love. We follow Felix as he goes on a journey of self discovery all while navigating the daily struggles of life in high school. Felix Ever After was actually my first Trans Own Voices read and it definitely won’t be the last! ⁣ ⁣ Felix Ever After is such a special book that truly moved me. This book is so well written and beautifully explores identity, race, bullying, friendship and family dynamics, and the struggles of being a teen. I loved watching Felix find himself and realize his worth. ⁣ ⁣ The author describes what they hope readers took away from Felix Ever After and they hit it on the head . . . “laughs and tears; a roller coaster ride of a romance, empowerment, and validation; and a story they thoroughly enjoyed.” I took away all of these things! I definitely recommend Felix Ever After!!⁣ ⁣ ✨Challenges✨⁣ #ReadGushJun21 - book quotes ⁣ #BookishBellesJune21 - the fault in our stars: made you cry⁣ #ThirtyDaysOfGay - queer joy & favorite LGBTQ+ books⁣ ⁣ ✨Hashtags✨⁣ #FelixEverAfter #TransLivesMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter #PrideMonth #OwnVoices #ContemporaryReads #BookRecommendations #LoveToRead #GranniesOfBookstagram #AvidReader #BookstaLove #ReadersAssemble #BookLovers #LoveYourShelf #ReadersGonnaRead #TeamBookstagram #DoItForTheBookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CPnySu-LNDL/?utm_medium=tumblr
