As I'm currently drowning in study, I decided to take a break to tell you all about an event planning assignment I'm working on. I planned a monthly PageBound book club to discuss the quests and meet other Boundlings at my local library.

As a part of the assignment I had to design promotional material. I chose to do a printed bookmark that would be slipped into the books that were a part of that season's quest line for customers to discover as they checked out books and I thought I'd share them in the comments just for fun!

I really leaned into the whole adventure and summer vibe for the upcoming season and accidentally matched the new badge which I hadn't even seen until a few moments ago. Disclaimer: I'm not a graphic designer, just a girl who enjoys being creative and spent a STUPID amount of time in Canva messing around. Coincidentally, the day I learned you can be doing your work AND procrastinating at the same time. Who knew?

The event was planned to be on the first of each month for a whole year and included fun things like a passport that you get stamped each time you come for the chance to win a year of Royalty at the year's end and a monthly giveaway of 3 months of Royalty as a lucky door prize for all who attend.

Anyhow, I better get back to it.

If you made it this far, I'd really appreciate some fun comments to come back to.

So, what project are you currently working on? Study? Work? Something super fun and creative so I can sob into my keyboard as my jealousy consumes me?

Note: I did seek permission from the PageBound Team to use their logo's for this.

P.S: If you saw me try and post this yesterday and delete it twice because I couldn't get the images to work? No, you didn't.

After picking up 🔗Papyrus recently, my childhood obsession with ancient Greece has come roaring back. It is now an adult sized special interest! 🏛️✨

I've already grabbed a few things for my TBR: 🔗The Iliad 🔗The Odyssey 🔗Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton Currently reading: 🔗Letters from a Stoic by Seneca

But I feel like I'm still missing some good ones! I'd love recommendations that are: ✅ Non-fiction or primary historical sources ✅ Educational but not dry or textbook-y ✅ Lyrical and a joy to read ❌ Not looking for fictional retellings (as tempting as they are 😅)

Think along the lines of histories, philosophy, archaeology-adjacent reads, or beautifully written scholarship. Basically: teach me things, but make it gorgeous.

What am I missing? 👇

plus a sticky note with a scrawled cursive message pressed to the mirror at eye-level: take your time, mama! What an elegant little ambush. Amelia might as well have scrawled the true meaning in all-caps lipstick across the mirror: pull yourself together, you selfish little freak :)

I‘m too autistic for this, I genuinely thought the mother-in-law was being nice

“This one’s American. From New York.” “I don’t believe such a place exists.”

I… huh? What? Sorry, what? Didn’t know we could just… not believe in the existence of major cities. Or of America, if that’s what he means. That’s… uh… okay? Weird take, man. Real weird.
