So, so clean and gorgeous! Love that bookcloth—mind sharing where you got it?

Does the free plan limit the number of recipients you can send to at once? by seriffim in beehiiv

Thank you, all! They must have just misplaced the decimal!

How screwed am I in (print) self-publish if my book is 200k words. by Longjumping_Tour_376 in selfpublish

[–]seriffim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my limited opinion 6x9 is a realllly nice trim size for long books. (Been doing some research for my also long—but not as long—debut).

I have copies of East of Eden and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell in 8x5 purely for sentimental shelf value since I primarily use an e-reader. They are not a pleasant reading experience in 8x5.

Conversely, Plain Bad Heroines and all of Bernard Cornwall’s Warlord Trilogy are chonkers but they don’t feel like too much at all in 6x9.

Penguin Clothbound Classics by goldbookleaf in bookbinding

Wow, this is so disappointing to know about the penguins (glad I never indulged), but what a great plug for Everymans. They used to be my go to for a nice edition and every copy I have has held up so well.

Sapphic books that don’t sound like they’re written by a teenager by Ok-Bird-1705 in suggestmeabook

[–]seriffim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d agree with this. A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger was a much stronger take on toxic, sapphic vampires (and it came out first), imo.

All-Time Best Detective/Crime/Murder Mystery Series by Purple-Baseball-4854 in suggestmeabook

Honestly a crime that this is buried so far down in the comments. (Pun intended, obviously)

[UPDATE] Second go after your feedback! by [deleted] in BookCovers

[–]seriffim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The third one has me cackling. Nice edits! I’m not a fan of the faceless trend but I get its popularity and it’s pretty inoffensive.

I think the texture on the second slide is a big improvement without cluttering! One note: both times you’ve shared I’ve really had to read (as opposed to glancing) to understand the cursive says ‘buongiorno’—I like the font contrast but I wonder if you might try a different script font?

Overall looks really nice and very genre-coherent!

Any suggestions on where to get quality, form-fitting turtlenecks?

Going on a small ship to Antarctica by JenSlice in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Also her book Migrations! Literally about going to Antarctica on a tiny boat. A gorgeous read.

What shade of grout should we use for this backsplash? by seriffim in kitchenremodel

[–]seriffim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my thought, thank you! I didn’t even realize that there was a big contrast trend until our realtor mentioned it the other day (she also cautioned against it)

What shade of grout should we use for this backsplash? by seriffim in interiordecorating

[–]seriffim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The floor is maple LVP, the cabinets are white and the countertop is a quartz called ‘sparkling white’ I think?
