Is there a cataloging website/app like Discogs but for books? Not Goodreads, that's for books read but for books owned in a way that notes their value too. I have a low-level constant fear my studio will burn down and I will lose my books and forget which ones I had (insurance proof too I guess)

In the UK and want to pre-order "Cowgirls & Dinosaurs: Big Trouble in Little Spittle" ahead of its summer 2024 release? Then do I have the QR code for YOU ;3 ✨🦕✨

Love 2 see INT doing a low effort investigative piece about 'rebrands looking the same?' which low-key defends trend-hop designers while sharing the work/opinions of the people who ripped someone off after doing coverage on said work and removing the article silently as things started to heat up.

Kidlit Illustrators, you don’t need a huge social following. I hire illustrators who don’t have huge followings all the time. You just need strong work. If you’re trying to decide between spending time practicing or posting, I’d recommend practicing. 💙❤️
