Bookishness
Bookishness: Loving Books in a Digital Age | Jessica Pressman
17 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Jessica Pressman explores the rise of "bookishness" as an identity and an aesthetic strategy that proliferates from store-window dcor to experimental writing. Ranging from literature to kitsch objects, stop-motion animation films to book design, she considers the multivalent meanings of books in contemporary culture.

Bath & Body Works has a bookish candle called Book Loft! I didnt light it yet, but it smells amazing in the jar! Their description of the scent says:
What it smells like: cozying up with a book you can't put down.
Fragrances notes: crisp bergamot, neroli and cozy woods.

Sara_Planz And I ordered some!! 3mo
bookish_wookish Yes! Such great bookish gifts too! @Sara_Planz 3mo

I‘m in love with these gorgeous bookmarks and my newest book sleeve from an Etsy shop called FabricBound. This is my second book sleeve from this particular shop and they are well made. Love the designs on these fabrics too!

TheBookHippie Oooo lovely! 8mo

Here is my intimidating physical #AugustTBR
A couple of these I will actually listen to on audio.
Several #chunksters here!

Dragon Illuminae is great as an audiobook 🐉💚 2y
Gissy Great, amazing titles. Try to use the physical book to with Illuminae. I enjoyed the book. I don‘t know how is the audiobook but if I re-read it I will also use the audiobook. 2y

I forgot to post this yesterday. #BookSpin #DoubleSpin. Maybe August will be the month I actually read both. Since I failed miserably in June and July, here‘s hoping this month is better 🤞🦩

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y

An interesting article in this week's Publishers Weekly.

Mentions the tagged title in the introductory paragraph - "Bookishness: Loving Books in a Digital Age."

Since this is a professional periodical I have to pass along to colleagues, I like to be conscientious of how much time I spend with it.

Enter the copy machine to my rescue! Will be diving into it this weekend and highlighting to my heart's content ????

• Been busting out all my bookish goodness today. First the library socks and found my library mugs this afternoon. I need to be using these things but I also want to sorta keep them in good condition!! My heart will break a bit if toddler grabs and destroys. Oh well...drinking out of this one tonight 😍 Terrible picture, btw 😬 •

Managed to find some free time for this. No mean feat during the silly season.

Thanks to netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. An interesting read, about how our love of actual books is being replaced with the convenience of digital books. Reading it (ironically on my Kindle) did get me thinking about how much I still love walking into bookstores and reading actual books.Whilst some of this book was spent discussing some books I wasn't familiar with, overall it's a great read for any book lover. ⭐⭐⭐
