Since creating the account pieladybooks two years ago, she has amassed over 45,000 followers and she started the account to talk about the books she was reading and the pies that she was baking. It wasn’t until a year later that she created “book pies” after seeing the cover of a book and thinking it would make a good pie.

The book lover reads between three to four books and makes four to five pies a week. All of her pies are gluten-free and the designs on top are made from extra dough and food dye.

“It has been such a fun process to match the pie dough to the exact colors of a book cover, and I’m always so excited when it comes out exactly as I had hoped,” she told Better Homes & Gardens. 

When choosing which books to make into pies, Hockersmith tries to only promote books she’s passionate about, which also inspires her when baking the pies. Of course, she’s also influenced by the book’s cover art.

The pies she’s had the most fun decorating were from the books The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare, In Five Years by Rebecca Serle, and Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid. Her most difficult pie was Glennon Doyle’s Untamed which had tons of galaxy-colored, glittery discs and feather shapes.

So what does she do with all the pies? She gives them to friends and family who we’re sure have a hard time eating the beautiful creations, but they are probably really tasty!

So it only made sense to combine both her passion for reading and activism by starting her own book club. “I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too,” said Watson. “As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there!”

“The plan is to select and read a book every two months, then discuss the work and related topics together,” explains Watson. “I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. Whenever possible I hope to have the author, or another prominent voice on the subject, join the conversation.”

Her book club is an open and welcome platform, promoted on Goodreads as well as a dedicated Instagram page. To become a member, all you need to do is register for an account and join the group’s page. “Everyone is welcome. I would be honored!” assures Watson.

So what are you waiting for? Take a page out of Watson’s book.

Based in Baltimore, her techniques span from ink illustrations to mixed media and painting; and her work has been exhibited in galleries, as well as featured in top tier publication like The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Penguin Books.

“Baltimore inspires me a lot,” she admitted in an interview with Working not Working. “But I try to take trips periodically to refresh myself mentally and creatively. I’ve made it a priority to take at least one trip a year since I started my illustration career, away from the studio and away from the internet. My best ideas almost always occur in the times I find myself away from my computer.”

But her inspiration and creativeness stem not only from the outside world, but also from her family ties, explaining that her father is an illustrator and sculptor and her mother works in advertising. “I come from a whole family of illustrators and designers,” she added. “My grandmother, Anne Rockwell, has written over 200 children’s books! I’d love an opportunity to work with her on a book someday.”

Take a look at some of her work in the gallery below:

The Venezuela-born, London-based illustrator based her work on a trip she took to Mexico. “Years ago I traveled to Mexico and I was lucky enough to visit Frida Kahlo’s Blue House, where I took at least 200 photos of her room, her clothes, her collection of miniature skeletons and puppets,” she recalled in an interview with the Laurence King blog. “All of these elements (and other photos I took in and around the city) later found their way into informing the illustrations for this book.”

Inspired by magical realist novels, coming of age films, DIY comics, and personable characters (real or fictional), Madriz’s illustrations have a naive quality to them that we find quite charming.

Apart from her illustrated book, she’s also worked with clients like Anorak Magazine, SCOOP, and the Arts University Bournemouth. You can see some of her work on her Instagram page, where she’s gathered a small but dedicated following.

Fore-edging is discrete painting, as Frost likes to explain it. “It is only there when you know how to unlock it.” It consists of painting along the edges of gilded books and the paintings are only visible when you open the book in a certain way. When it’s closed, you can’t see the art.

The video below shows how magical fore-edge painting can be.

Trevino explains how it all started. “At first I was posting pictures of my then current reads. With time, the photos got more and more complex, influenced mostly by pop culture and sometimes by certain pictures I saw on Instagram.”

He’s doing this as a hobby but admits it has been a little overwhelming to have so many followers and positive reactions. See some of our favorites below and follow him for more!
