I love to collect things that are the same but different colors, so I have had to restrict myself to getting one of something I love for that thing only and not go crazy trying to collect say every volume of Swan's Way in the new design even though I've never read it (them). Its such a slippery consumerist slope!!
It is!! But also...things!!! I have a friend who has multiple copies of Song of Achilles and Frankenstein and I will admit they are cool to look at. Just not for me. I will fall down the slippery slope of consumerism in other ways 🤣
I laughed out loud about your caption re: your couch and the book covers. I didn't know about StoryGraph, so thank you, because I have lost $1.99 far too many times on BookBub. I love Russian/Slavic folk tales, too, so I'll look for that trilogy. Illumicrate: great idea, but what an unfortunate name, no? Sounds like an AI app.
It does, doesn’t it? I’m guessing it’s supposed to be a play on Illuminate, but I’m betting that’s why I didn’t register the name the first time I heard it.
And yes! The Storygraph is great. I have a year end post with all of the data they have on my reads. I pay for the premium version but the free version is still pretty great, too.
