Merch of the Month

My love for fantastic fiction and gorgeous graphics inspired me to open my own shop, BumbleBess.com. There, I blend all of my favorite things… literary allusions, typographic design, and plenty of good humor.

Read Voraciously, Live Vicariously

Read Voraciously, Live Vicariously

This Merch of the Month pick is one of my personal favorites. The quote “read voraciously, live vicariously” is something I coined myself, inspired by that unique sensation of getting wholly lost between the pages of a good book.

Quote of the Day – The Magic Misfits

Leave a comment

“I practice levitation,” Theo said, “As in, making things float in the air. You saw my work earlier today.”

“I love learning about transformation,” Ridley added. She pulled a top hat off a nearby shelf, moved it behind her wheelchair, and when it reappeared it had become a book with a top hat on the cover. “I like to change objects from one to another.”

“And I escape!” Leila said. “Dad, can you please chain me upside down in a tank full of water?”

“I can, and I will – when you turn eighteen,” Mr. Vernon said.

–The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris

Quote of the Day – More Than Marmalade

Leave a comment

Portobello Road had always been Michael’s favorite street to explore. The shops were on the lowest floor of the townhomes that lined the streets. The owners lived on the upper floors, and the fronts were painted in a rainbow of pastel colors. Sky-blue and sunny-yellow houses next to mint-green ones. A rosy-pink home might be next to a coral-orange house.

Quote of the Day – The Wizard of Oz

The sky darkened, and a low rumbling sound was heard in the air. There was a rushing of many wings; a great chattering and laughing; and the sun came out of the dark sky to show the Wicked Witch surrounded by a crowd of monkeys, each with a pair of immense and powerful wings on his shoulders.

–The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
