April 18: Favourite Bookish Accessories (Leyre @ Read You Leyre)
Prompts: Do you collect bookish accessories? What are some bookish accessories that you can’t get enough of? Is there any type of bookish accessory that you feel is “overdone” (i.e. book mugs)? Where do you usually get your bookish accessories and do you have recommended stores to get them from?
**********
Do you collect bookish accessories?
I don’t collect bookish accessories now – only when I used to subscribe to book boxes and it came with random themed accessories.
What are some bookish accessories that you can’t get enough of?
Bookmarks, blankets, bags, shirts, stickers…I love it all, I just don’t have the budget to buy these things lol or space to store this stuff.
Is there any type of bookish accessory that you feel is “overdone” (i.e. book mugs)?
I’m not a fan of pins even though they are so cute. I’m just not someone who displays them! Just not a pin person I guess.
Where do you usually get your bookish accessories and do you have recommended stores to get them from?
I only used to get them with the book box subscriptions but Etsy has so much cute bookish stuff.
April Topics:
April 4: Reading Relatability
Prompts: Real life can be a lot. Do you enjoy reading books with high relatability to your past or present situation (i.e. with relatable characters, situations they face, or places they visit) or do you read purely to escape reality? Do you seek out a certain type of read, depending on your head space or mood?
April 11: Do You Buy Books with Intention? (Jillian @ The Bookish Butterfly)
Prompts: Do you buy books randomly or do you think about what to buy? How do you decide which books to buy vs which books to borrow or just save for later? For books at the top of your TBR, is your go-to buying a book or do you check your library first? What book formats do you own most of—physical books, ebooks, or audiobooks?

April 25: Do Blog Tours Build Community?

Past Midnight Book Reviews & More 
I think that the only bookish accessories that I have are bookmarks. I lose them constantly so have to keep replacing them.
I only used to get bookish items through book boxes as well (and that seems to be a common answer I’m seeing in posts so far this week, lol). I’ve come to realise that I’m not really a pin person either. A couple are fine but the amount I now own thanks to book boxes is too much! 🤭 I also totally forgot about blankets and towels and the like. I loved getting those in book boxes as well! Great post 🙂 Thanks for joining in LTB this week!
I tried to sell the pins on ebay and no one bought them 😅 I wish I could give them away. I miss book boxes too!
