🕯️the library is looking so fine tonight - pt 2

Hello my friends! Thank you for joining me on another library reveal tour! This one is going to have the details, the dogs, and of course, the books! I've decided to do an additional round-up post later of all the things I bought or received for my library so you can purchase them too if you're looking to change things up in your own spaces, but they'll also be included here for your convenience!

I definitely should have counted how many boxes of books I brought up to the house, as these stacks can't really be understood in their depth and breadth and sheer... weight. Here's a few more photos that might help you get a better idea of just how many books my collection has amassed:

This is just the HARDCOVERS. Vin was trapped for a bit in the stacks. (actually she wasn't, she's athletic enough to jump out of pretty much any containment, ask me how I know that)

It took me two+ days to get the books shelved (i have timelapse proof, which I'll post here eventually or you can head to https://www.instagram.com/p/DYP3Q-JpbjE/ to see part one of the adventures.

Of course my famous rainbow shelves have returned! I love the cheerful rainbow, don't you??

All right, on to the details! I've got some incredible window clings from Geek Orthodox - LOOK at this one of Narsil 🤩

And these ones that are Rivendell inspired:

Additionally, I knew I wanted some fancy outlet covers/ switchplates and I found the very best Etsy creator who had already created exactly what I was looking for: Gothic Cover Plates (also Rivendell inspired)

I am so lucky to be a part of the Wayfair Creator Program, which provided me with these rechargeable lights:

And also this incredible library ladder:

The stepstool is an antique but here's one that's eerily similar from Wayfair as well: Library StepStool

The desk and table are both antiques I was gifted by my inlaws, (but this gives YOU the perfect excuse to go antiquing/thrifting this summer) + the rug was a gift from my aunt 💛

Here's a final photo! I hope you enjoyed this little tour with me! Did I miss anything that YOU would add to YOUR dream library??

💛💛 - Amanda

Synopsis for The Wretched Divine:

Aurelie Chantelune was born to serve. Raised as a knight in a kingdom ravaged by demons, she's spent her life honing her blade, driven by the memory of the monsters who tore her family apart and by the knowledge that she's one of the few who can stop them.

If Aurelie can claim her first kill, she'll inherit a legacy passed down through the Chantelune a soulbond with Yuriel, an angel whose power is vital to her kingdom's survival. But when those she loves begin turning into the very monsters she's sworn to destroy, Aurelie is forced to seek help from the last place she ever imagined. Desperate, she forges a second and far more dangerous bond with Severin, a demon she can hardly trust, but who claims to know how to end the war for good.

With their lives and fates entwined, Aurelie, Yuriel, and Severin must team up to hunt down a cure capable of turning demons back into humans. But the more they learn about one another and the deeper their relationships grow, the more Aurelie begins to question the war and her place in it. With both of her bonded on opposing sides, she'll have to make a continue to stand with the angels, or risk everything by trusting a demon.
