  • Spending the night reading this book by @malloryomeara. It’s a book about Milicent Patrick, who was a Disney Animator as well as the designer of the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Sadly, others took credit for her work. Thankfully O’Meara pieced together some information and makes a compelling account. @hanoversquarepress published this book this year (2019) and it’s been on my wishlist for a long time. #internationalwomensday #creaturefromtheblacklagoon #millicentpatrick #ladyfromtheblacklagoon #womeninart #womeninfilm #bookish #hardcoverbooks #prettybooks #historical #hollywood #mttbr

  • As I loved @ek_johnston writing #aspka and #exitpursuedbyabear, I snagged #starwarsqueensshadow and I cannot wait to read this. Queen Amidala needs way more literature out there, and I love that people like #ekjohnston are writing #strongfemale #multifacetedcharacters in this galaxy and beyond. #releaseweek #bookbirthday #starwarsbooks #QueensShadow #StarWars2019
