Buying Books T-Shirt


This shirt has been available on DFTBA for a while now, but I only just had one sent to me, so better late than never for a blog post, right? Keep reading to learn the whole story of how it came about!


I’ve had the idea for this shirt for years. In one of my Recommended Books videos, I believe I said this quote for the first time, and then I made a note in my sketchbook that it would make a good shirt.


I showed this sketch in my What’s in My Sketchbook video, and I got a ton of comments telling me to make it a real shirt. So I sat down and designed it, and thus was born the first (and still only) shirt I sell on DFTBA!


Thank you to @HildeKuyper1 and @techni_moments for sending me photos of you girls wearing the shirt. If you have the shirt, feel free to send me photos of you wearing it on Twitter or Tumblr (just tag it “Karen Kavett”).


I also used the design on one of the bookmarks I gave out at VidCon. Keep an eye out if you didn’t get one there, because they may show up on DFTBA one of these weeks ;)


I just had to include one little Harry Potter inspired touch. I hope you guys like the shirt, and if you’d like to buy one, they’re available on DFTBA, perhaps soon with some other new shirts and merch for purchase…but that’s all I’m saying for now!
