This is a blog mostly dedicated to literature where I ramble too much or too little. Manga and graphic novels are literature. Approves of literacy and a sense of curiosity. Likes to write random thoughts. Loves kid literature, manga, graphic novels, classics, fairy tales, folktales, and whatnot. Just a heads up, I am an adult. TERFs, radfems, and manosphere advocates are obviously not allowed. Don't forget to get a library card! main blog: https://garebeary.tumblr.com/

It better have a Caldecott Award or Honor!
Do you think a Caldecott award or honor is possible for Bakery Dragon? It seems to meet the criteria!
Aw that's very kind of you! My personal guess is that it would be a serious long shot - I think it's pretty unlikely, but it would be a very cool surprise if it happened!

I love this!!
I/ I am a(n):
✨ eReader, does not care about format of physical book
✨ Mainly literary fiction and fantasy reader
✨Chaos reader
✨Keep it clean (I should annotate more!!)
✨Bookmark
✨Organize by genre iirc
✨ Use none of those apps (Planning on using Storygraph though)
✨ Love tea and coffee please!!
✨ Read multiple books and multiple formats!!
🍁 It doesn't matter what kind of reader you are; on Bookstagram, we're one big family. Without a doubt, my favorite part of Booksta is the connections I've made; with passionate readers, talented authors who take the time to connect & engage with us, even the editorial teams of huge publishing hours that recognize book lovers as more than just influencers.
❓ What type of reader are you? Make sure to check each slide! I'm a(n): ✨ eReader ✨ All genre reader ✨ Planned reader ✨ Annotator ✨ Bookmarker ✨ Who organizes by genre, color, and author ✨ Who uses every app (for some reason) ✨ Coffee & tea drinker ✨ Who reads one book at a time

The blackberry is sacred to Brighid, goddess of the hearth and fire. Its vines will protect your home from witches, vampires and the mischievous fae if it is woven into a wreath with some rowan and ivy and hung on your front door.
