Red Queen fans, this one’s for you! @lectureetpailette ’s TikTok of our Red Queen Spinner Pin and Mare Barrow Earrings has a certain dramatic flair. We think the music perfectly fits the vibe of the Red Queen series.

Moving onto the more macabre side of things, @book.barbarian shows off our special edition box set of Nevernight by Jay Kristoff in this haunting image. The pic’s ambiance definitely fits the deadly aspects of the tale of Mia Corvere.

Take a trip to see the Headmaster with @stephaniespensieve ’s awesome post of our Headmaster’s Office Fairy Door. We love the magical, stop-motion animation of this post, which gives you a glimpse at the gorgeous designs of the door and the office inside.

We were captivated while reading @_dieforanight_ ’s breakdown of an iconic scene from Six of Crows on Twitter. Their commentary is spot-on and explains why we had to include this artwork in our upcoming special edition.
We do not talk about this chapter enough by the way. I cried the whole way through, from « Climb, Inej » to « I can’t, papa » to « She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above. » there are tear stain on these pages. https://t.co/uGuhlqZWqx

May is also the month of #MerMay, when mermaids are celebrated! In honor of this month, @ BohemianWeasel showed off their awe-inducing aquatic artwork from our special edition of The Wicked King by Holly Black, part of our Folk of the Air special edition box set. We still can’t get over the “side-eye.”
