Hi, I'm Alicia — reader, designer, and the bookish brain behind Straight Up Bookish.
If you've ever listened to an audiobook while doing the dishes, snuck in a few Kindle pages while the kids fall asleep, or treated yourself to a physical book on one of those rare, glorious afternoons to yourself — then you're in exactly the right place.
Books have been my thing since the moment I learned to read. These days, they show up in every corner of my life: my Kindle on the nightstand, audiobooks on in the car, during workouts, while I clean (because honestly, when else?), and a physical book in hand whenever life actually gives me a quiet moment. My heart belongs to Romantasy — though if there's romance involved, I'm pretty much already sold.
About the Shop
Straight Up Bookish grew out of a love that was hiding in plain sight. I've been selling digital designs over on Etsy under Little Quaint Designs for over a year, and somewhere along the way I noticed that my favourite things to create were bookish. Kindle wallpapers, sublimation prints, printable bookmarks, reading inserts — I was making them anyway, so it only made sense to build a home that was just for that.
This shop is where my two favourite things — reading and designing — finally live together.
Here you'll find:
- 📖 Printable Kindle Inserts — because your reading tracker should be as pretty as the stories you're tracking
- 🔖 Printable Bookmarks — functional, beautiful, and very bookish
- 🎨 Book-Themed Sublimation Prints & PNGs — for fellow crafters who want to wear their love of reading
- 🛍️ Physical Book-Themed Products — thoughtfully designed for the readers in your life (or yourself, no judgement)
For the Readers, the Crafters & the Gifters
Whether you're treating yourself, looking for the perfect gift for the book lover in your life, or you're a fellow crafter hunting for that next gorgeous design — I made this for you.
Pull up a blanket. You're among your people. 🤍📚
