Spring is one of my favorite seasons. After the doldrums of winter, it’s the time for flowers, bright colors, and cute little critters to wiggle out of their hidey holes for sunshine. Of course, spring can also be a great time for new book releases. Within the next couple of months, there are books coming out by Stephen Graham Jones, Emily Henry, Suzanne Collins, Isabel Allende, Ocean Vuong, and other highly anticipated authors.

As these illustrious new releases trickle out and the beauty of spring starts to unfurl, I’m going to help you stock up on all matter of bookmarks, art, and book sleeves, all of which have been kissed by the essence of spring.

The extra dope thing about this book sleeve is that it has an equally springified print if you choose to reverse it. $22

Okay, so I don’t immediately know what you might want to do with this handmade wooden bookworm, but it’s cute, on theme, and I’m sure we all identify with it, which means you should definitely get it, right? Right. $15
