Welcome to the Book Nook! This is the weekly thread for Avocados to discuss books we’re currently reading, recommendations, genre, and serious literary criticism.

This week’s recommended discussion: What paraphernalia do you have related to books you love? Shirts, coasters, bumper stickers, notebooks, art, jewelry, cosplay, etc. – reading in general or specific books.

Settle into your favorite chair, and let’s celebrate the written word.

One caveat: because we’re here to use our words, this is a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone. The OTs are full of clutter, and I want to keep that out of this thread. Pictures of books related to a post are fine, though.

upcoming topics:
10/16: there’s no shame in self-help
10/23: hidden gems found at book sales (h/t to MisterSplendiferous)
10/30: Halloween reads
