mini haul ✨️ love when book covers conveniently end up matching. i've been wanting to read 'de profundis' for literal years, i've just never encountered this specific edition in a store before (i'm vain, and i need the pretty edition of a book always)

also, for music lovers, i got my hands on the new chelsea wolfe album!! obsessed doesn't cover it.
