  • Can we talk about how perfect this is for a moment? It’s a book with some supernatural elements from an amazing writer, @gailcarriger. It’s illustrated by @whoisjensine. I hope @orbitbooks will be doing the whole series this way. I’ve been a finishing school fan, but this is my first foray into the world of #alexiatarabotti and it’s even signed! #amazingbook #tbr #illustratededition
  • When someone grants you a wishlist book early, you say thank you and then dismiss them so you can read it. #wishlist #thankyou #graphicnovel #youngavengers #tbr #alanmooresyoungavengers
  • I’m writing absolutely crap tonight. Need to relax and try to add 7 k tomorrow. However, longhand is working right now. #NaNoWriMo #11k
  • My #tbr today, pre #reddeadredemption2. If I’m being completely honest, I’ll probably sneak in some #mikemignola and just go all Hellboy today instead. ##rrhellobeastie #readingrivalry #paperback #hardcover #books #readingismysuperpower
  • Truth be told, I never thought I would get the opportunity to wear these babies out of the house, but @comicsunltd is reading this book for November’s club! Cover me in maple syrup and leave me in the woods, I am in heaven! ❤️💕❤️ #shirtlessbearfighter #enamelpins
  • I love @vromansbookstore but I live in #orangecountyca. So when I heard @harukimurakamiofficial had a new book coming out and @aaknopf was giving away free totes to preorders, I ordered. They sent me the book, it arrived today and it is absolutely perfect. #vromans made this possible. #myfavoritebookstore
