Perfume Inspired By (Not Made Of) Dead Writers (via Book Riot)
From the endless materialistic depths of Etsy comes a perfume inspired by dead authors. The perfume can be purchased at SweetTeaApothocary and is described as, “a bookish blend of heliotrope, vetiver, black tea, clove, tobacco musk and vanilla and is supposed to evoke sitting in a library chair paging through yellowed tomes. Book Riot took the idea and ran with it, thinking up what author specific scents would smell like. Thankfully none of them smell like decaying author flesh.
Is there a point to having a “summer reading list” when you aren’t in school anymore? Isn’t summer about the same as the rest of the year? Maybe because this is when people take more vacation days–traveling and beach trips are both great reading opportunities. For whatever reason, summer seems to be the time when people pick up a few more books to read (Bibliomantics resident librarian Kelly can perhaps verify this).
