I got myself a book bedazzling kit for a special hardcover new release that I think makes sense to give it some sparkle. It's coming tomorrow! Have you done any book bedazzling with rhinestones? Any tips? Also... any guesses on which book I'm going to do?

2000s romance hit different.
Brooding vampires. Erotic imprints. Early fan culture.
Before BookTok, there was Goodreads groups & Yahoo fandoms.
Just dropped a full breakdown of the era, with a time capsule list of 10 iconic books:
