Miles Morales: Stranger Tides | Justin A. Reynolds

So happy to see my guys enjoying books and reading and seeing themselves in those stories. We‘re big fans of the Miles Morales graphic novel and Jameson wouldn‘t let us leave #BooksByTheBanks until we bought the latest Miles book by and get it signed by Justin Reynolds was so cool and patient as he chatted with Jameson (and confirmed the correct spelling of his name). Jameson was so excited that he had the chance to meet him. #BoysReadToo

Bookgoil Huge fan of Reynolds!!! So glad y‘all got to meet him! 2y

Chelleo @Aimeesue We met Justin Reynolds, not Jason, who I agree is amazing too! 2y

Aimeesue @Chelleo This is what I get for typing too fast! My apologies to both Mr. Justin Reynolds and Mr. Jason Reynolds. I was actually thinking of Justin's books, but typed Jason. ❤️ (edited) 2y

Chelleo @Aimeesue seriously, no worries because I thought Jason at first when I saw the program. 2y

Aimeesue @Chelleo As you might imagine, people get my name wrong all the time, at least spelling-wise, and it's aggravating. The irony here is not lost on me. 😋 2y

Gissy A beautiful experience to know different authors to share with them.📚❤️ 2y

My first Books by the Banks was a success! 📚🤗 I spent way too much, but I met some incredible authors and had a lot of fun! I really enjoyed chatting and hanging out with these awesome Littens (plus @Pamwurtzler and @kitty_reads not pictured in this photo)! Thanks for organizing Michelle!
