Nic Stone signing in Ann Arbor! 🧡🧡🧡
Apparently I have 666 signed books in my personal library. Which is a lot (also an amusing number).
My #BookHaul from the Fierce Reads Tour. The top book is an ARC, the others are all books I got signed at the event. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
At the Fierce Reads Tour with @hyperhawk in Ann Arbor! And they gave us swag! Who doesn't need a bookish fanny pack!? 😁
Veronica Roth signing in Ann Arbor with @hyperhawk tonight!
pickThese books. God. One of my favorite fantasy series of all time and I had to lock myself in the work bathroom to finish this last audio book, because I was ugly crying. While not exactly a happy ending, it was a perfect ending to a dark and deeply resonant story. This book hangover is going to last a long time.
Life has been really crazy here, but I wanted to stop in and wish you all happy reading! ❤📚
I have an actual day off this week! I got most of the housework done this morning, so while I wait on the laundry I'm going to work on my September book journal spread!

Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks! Ahhh! 💗😍💗😍💗
I found these two bookish pins at a thrift store last week. The storybook one actually opens up and has Mother Goose illustrations on the inside! 🧡🧡🧡 I especially love the READ pin and plan on wearing it to many bookish events.
Well, it's that time of year again. When my reading time gets eaten up by my working most of the next next eight weeks without a break. 😳
But if any of you #MittenLittens are heading to #MiRF this season you'd better stop by the Crimson Chain Leatherworks booth and say hello. 😁
It seems like the perfect night to sit on the deck and start my August #poetrychallenge2019 book! 🌄
pickFred-Fred would like to recommend 'Vote Dog' by Sam Logan. He says this comic collection about pets is super adorable, even with the unfair depictions of cats as lazy and aloof. 😻

There's a cover for the sequel! And it's BEAUTIFUL! @DragonAuthors are even giving us a tiny dragon! And more magic! And girl power! And I'm REALLY excited!
Litsy doesn't have the book in the system yet, but I requested it be added.
Oh! And you can preorder the ebook now. The physical books will be available to preorder soon!
❤🐉📚
No big deal... just happy crying at my desk over the most perfect book ending ever! ❤😭🌈😭🌈😭❤
Hanging out at Detroit #MakerFair with #Studio42Books. Oddly enough, we're right next to the 501 Star Wars group... It's working out pretty well though- they draw a good crowd, and it's fun to watch the little kids get so excited about the costumes!
Side note: this is what happens when I talk my husband to "look cute". ???
pickOn September 11, 2001 the American airspace was shut down following the terrorist attacks. While we were all watching the horror unfold there were dozens of planes in the air that had to be redirected. 38 planes ended up in Gander, Newfoundland. The citizens of Gander came together to shelter 7,000 unexpected visitors, including Kevin Tuerff, who was stranded on his way home to Texas.
And yes, one of the Kevins in Come From Away is based on him.
This book is equal parts crazy girl power and insanely improbable circumstance. The dialog is oftentimes like Gilmore Girls on a crack bender. I'm enjoying it immensely.
My #BookMail #preorder of Spin the Dawn came in while I was away for the weekend and I was so stoked to open it today. I ordered through Lim's preferred independent bookstore and recieved all kinds of beautiful swag. A sticker, bookmark, art print, character cards, and an enamel pin! Plus, it's signed! And now I get to read about a bad ass seamstress. 💕💕💕
I've had a rough couple weeks due to an intercostal muscle strain. I've been trying to take it easy, but tomorrow I leave for a show in Connecticut and there's no way I can through the weekend without heavy lifting. And knowing I'm going to aggravate it makes my anxiety worse.
That being said, the new Valdemar book came out today. Since this series always makes me happy (even when it's breaking my heart) I'm going to dive in this evening. ❤📚
I'm cat sitting for @hyperhawk, which basically means I cuddle her cats and poke around her bookcases. 😁 I've been wanting to read this for ages, so I took it home and made her cats promise not to tell. 😂
This is the necklace I bought at the Ypsilanti Book Fair today. It's bright and bookish and will be fun to wear to author events. 📚
This morning we went to the Ypsilanti Book Fair. It's a really cute little event that takes place in an old train station. I picked up a couple of books and a necklace (I'll post a picture later). Now we're heading to A2 for more book shopping and food. ❤📚
#mittenlittens
I love it when kids' books do things like this. A boy playing a sorceress? Cool, whatever, let's play! ❤
I love this snarky and well-crafted response to the assholes who used a white supremacist attack as an opportunity to spread their own brand of hatred. Props to BookBar for being awesome (and for the book recommendations!). 🌈📚

Are any of you awesome littens planning on going to #GenCon2019 this year? My husband and I are planning which days we're going and I'd love to try to meet up with any littens who are also going to be there. 😁
Excuse the crappy poor light cellphone photo, but check out the pretty lady who visited me while I read on the porch this evening! She brought four darling babies with her too! I think my husband managed to get a few photos with his actual camera, but I was too busy watching them! ❤🦝❤🦝🦝🦝🦝❤
pickThis was a really sweet graphic novel about toxic relationships, love, and what it means to be a good friend. The artwork was absolutely beautiful, the characters were well fleshed out, and the story was heartfelt and inspired. There was also a lot of really good #LGBTQ+ representation. I'd highly recommend it!
pickThis was the best anthology I've read in ages. It spanned so many types of women, and magics, and time periods! There was only one story that I didn't find fantastic (and it was still pretty good), and there were a few that will stay with me for a very long time. There's a lot of fun magical stories here... but there are also a lot of truly POWERFUL pieces. This is an anthology about strong women and the power we have when we stand together.
I met Lucy Knisley and she was everything I hoped she'd be, and I don't even care that this is a horrible picture, because she's so sweet and nerdy and everything! 😍😍😍
For any of my #MittenLittens the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival is a lot bigger then I expected. Rather then just a few events and a couple signings there are vendors, tons of artists, and multiple locations. It goes until 6 tonight and 12:30-4:30 on Sunday.
It's a chilly, rainy night here, so Fred-Fred and I are cuddled up with a blanket, tea, and a book. I'm supposed to be meeting Lucy Knisley on Saturday, so I'm trying to reread all her graphic novels before then!

When it comes to horribly misinformed patriarchal ideas about women's bodies I think the wandering uterus might be my favorite historical example. It ranks right up there with women's bodies being able to shut down a rape pregnancy, and period huts.
I happened to be in town when this was happening... I've read a few of her books, but don't consider myself a real fan (though who knows after tonight!). I can't resist a bookish event! 😁
#Literatti #AnnArbor
... or any other day for that matter. 💜📚☕
Well, we survived the most boring convention in the world and should be gone late tonight. The convention was so slow that I read half of this anthology while standing behind the counter of my booth. And so far all of the stories have been pretty good!
Anyone going to be at #IndyPopCon this weekend? If so, come visit me! I'm going to be SO bored! 😪
Fred-Fred stole my chair when I got up to get a drink. I'm going to make him move, but I couldn't resist taking a picture since everything matches!
