Today was unusually warm for January, so I took my books for a walk... like the good book hoarder owner I am. I decided last year that I was going to make an effort to further along my photography. Or at the very least, my book photography. My goal was to start a Booked J photo journal and cross-post the pictures here and to Instagram and what not.
Being home this weekend, and seeing how strangely nice the weather was, I decided to wander over to the local fairgrounds and take pictures of some books once more. I started doing this in November (you probably notice some of the backdrops from my The Dark Artifices shoot) and I have to say, it's become a favourite photography spot aside from the city.
The muse for this particular series/installment is my beloved Splintered trilogy (and the collection of short stories set in the world) by A.G. Howard. I've always wanted to take more pictures of these but I've found them hard to photograph due to the shine of each jacket. But, with weather on my side, and my desire to celebrate Howard's upcoming (unrelated) release of Stain, I just had to take my babies out for a spin.
This wasn't my first Book Outlet haul.
But, it was my first from their annual Black Friday sale!
Who knows.
This little guy looks like just the right level of creepy and I'm more than ready to dig in. I'm so excited to see where the plot takes me--and look at how simple and nice the inside looks! It's not even a finished copy! Swoon.
