The Alchemist Kit — A Printable Reading Companion

$8.00

Reading as becoming.

‍ ‍

You come to books at the threshold — when something is ending, or trying to begin. You don't want to be told who to be; you want company for the becoming itself. The most Chrysalis of readers, and this kit is your vessel.

‍ ‍

The Alchemist's reflection sheet is less about tracking what you read than distilling what it made of you: the threshold you opened it at, what it turned over in you, who opened the book and who closed it, what's dissolving and what's crystallizing. The TBR Map holds the thresholds still ahead. The Journey Log follows one transformation at a time, beginning to end.

‍ ‍

Not every book has to change you. Some are just kindling. The fire needs those too.

‍ ‍

You leave every good book a little changed.

‍ ‍

What's inside:

‍ ‍

  • Your archetype's intro page — how this kit wants to be used (Night and parchment editions)

  • Your archetype's reflection sheet — six prompts written only for your kind of reader

  • The TBR Map — 18 books, each named for what it is to you: a door, a mirror, a shelter, a match, a threshold

  • The Reading Journey Log — one book, beginning to end, however it ends

  • The Kept Lines — a page for the sentences that wouldn't let you pass

  • Archetype bookmarks — four to cut out: two for the late hours, two for the daylight

‍ ‍

The details. Instant digital download · delivered as a zip with two editions — SCREEN for reading on your device, PRINT for home printing · a 9-page kit (cover · intro in both Night and ink-friendly parchment editions · reflection sheet · TBR Map · Journey Log · Kept Lines · cut-out bookmarks · closing) · US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) PDF · the sheets are made to be printed again and again — the reflection sheet carries six rotating prompts, so no two printings have to ask the same questions · yours to keep and print again and again — for your personal shelf only, never for resale, sharing, or redistribution. Nothing ships; everything arrives.
