I don't know why but immediately following having finished this book I just had to sit with it for a bit and I think that's symbolic of how reading the Wayfarers series has made me feel so far.

I recently had my mind blown at flat paper pens!! They act as thin as a bookmark to slip into a book or journal, and they have this thin pen ink cartridge inside.
I love to underline and mark things in non-fiction books so having a pen at all times without having to carry one around with me separately is so handy! (they're also super cute, I have one shaped like a fish and bought a mermaid one for a friend, but I've seen packs where each pen is drawn as a fancy feather, fountain pen etc)
Everyone here loves books. What sorts of things that are adjacent to books do you like? Pens and notebooks are my big ones--I have many of each (far more than I need, admittedly). I also like cool bookmarks, though I tend to misplace them.
There is a bookstore near me that serves tea and the owner will get different blends and post them along with the name of a character that she thinks would drink that tea. I like tea, so that's fun.
I've been in a couple of bookstores that had cats in them. Not really a book-adjacent offering, I suppose, but I like to read when cats are around.
I know these days people make a business of book-adjacent merch and services. Which of them do you enjoy?
