Ash Stral, Author & Artist

I started Bookish Troves to celebrate and share the wonder of books and love of reading with fellow book enthusiasts. Here you will discover bookish chat, beautiful journals, literary gifts, and bookish lifestyle inspiration!

I am endlessly fascinated by lore surrounding secret libraries and lost manuscripts. Something that you will find reflected in my upcoming novels.
