Product Review: Biblio Bloom’s Dracula Acrylic Book Vase

When it comes to modern aesthetics in people’s homes, two things are becoming more and more common, books and plants. Not that it’s a bad thing, books are awesome and I wish more and more that I had time to just sit and read, and plants help bring life into a room and give you something to tend to. The folks over at Biblio Bloom decided to combine the two uniquely with their book vases! I want to thank Biblio Bloom for sending over the Dracula Book Vase for me to check out! The vase is made of clear acrylic and is part of the Gothic Fiction section of the store if Romance and Fantasy books are not your style.
