Preorders for the LitJoy box set are now open! These are very special, very limited editions. Have I mentioned that the covers have removable metal charms? (Covers designed by Lichen & Limestone, they also make candles!) It's all very fancy. πŸ–€ Preorder info here: litjoycrate.com/products/the...

That's actually quite lovely to hear! I often think it's strange and quasi-incomprehensible

The shelf (and the cat!) are so pretty! Also I totally didn't know the t2 set was out already, no one tells me these things.

A graphic displaying mockups of the upcoming LitJoy edition of The Night Circus, showing both the cover and the back as well as the illustrated edges. The covers are black with elaborate silver foiling displaying a clock about to strike midnight and circus tents and stars, the clock face on the cover is metal. Cover design by Lichen & Limestone, page edges by Fyodor Pavlov. A graphic displaying mockups of the upcoming LitJoy edition of The Starless Sea, showing both the cover and the back as well as the illustrated edges. The covers are black with elaborate gold foiling displaying doors with bees and keys and swords, the back includes a crown, a heart and a feather. The sword on the cover is metal.

This gorgeous set includes both books in a custom slipcase, covers with foiled designs & metal inlays, illustrated edges, art by several different incredible artists as well as a multitude of personal annotations from the author in my questionable handwriting. πŸ–€ litjoycrate.com/products/the...

It's terrible and I feel awful for anyone getting these who might not see through the scam. (The actual email is terrible in its own way, though not quite as bad.)

Apparently I'm being impersonated in a version of this now. Unsolicited email from a gmail address with my name + numbers is not from me, of course. I can barely keep up with my actual email.

Oh, I'm so sorry and thank you for letting me know! I'd heard about this type of thing but didn't know they were using my name in particular. It's likely a version of this scam where the fake author refers you to other fake contacts who eventually ask for money: writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

A collage of photos including the title page of the Folio Society edition of The Night Circus, a kitten attempting to eat the Folio Society edition of The Night Circus, the very shiny red edition of The Night Circus from Acrylipics and a teacup with the Starless Sea tea blend from Old Growth Alchemy. A lane at night flanked with bare trees and snow. The trees are lit with white light and behind them is a red glow. Photo taken at Nightwood at the Mount in Lenox, MA.

It's gorgeous, it feels very modern and very classic at the same time.

You're very welcome! It's such a lovely story and I happened to pick it up just after re-reading a great many classic fairy tales which felt like perfect timing.

Oh! That sounds absolutely marvelous. I've still never seen it properly live, or Arcadia which is my other favorite Stoppard
