Little Thieves

I LOVED this book by @what-eats-owls! The dynamic between these two was so fun! And the plot was great XD

I read Little Thieves and Painted Devils by Margaret Owen, and now I am in love with their love. (Go read both books if you haven't, and then preorder the final book. For me)

“I think there are lives that make it easy to be good. Or what most people call good. When you have wealth, status, family, it’s easy to be a saint, it costs you nothing. I can’t say if you’re a good person or not. But the more I know of you, the more I understand that the world keeps making you choose between survival and martyrdom. No one should fault you for wanting to live.”

— Margaret Owen (Little Thieves | Little Thieves #1), first pub. 2021, USA

Vanja: one thing about me is i'm the leaver. i will leave Vanja and Emeric: what is a rival if not a crush you're mad about having Vanja about Emeric: that's my girl [said about a man] Ragne: morality is a human concept but i do think dolphins know what they do is wrong

[what-eats-owls]

In case you missed the earlier announcement… to keep the gremlins fed during the wait for Holy Terrors, I will be releasing The Fallow Year, a series of ten short stories that take place in the months between the end of Painted Devils and the beginning of Holy Terrors. They will alternate between Vanja and Emeric’s POVs as they spend some time… working on themselves. 🥲 I will be releasing one for every 100 preorders of Holy Terrors at independent bookstores, or 200 preorders of HT total, whichever comes first.

Each story will be published on AO3, because why not! I finished writing them back in March—so they’re ready to go when you are 😘

International and special edition orders will count as long as the campaign’s still running; don’t stress if the version you want isn’t available yet, because we’ll need your preorder for later stories!

The google form to submit your preorder receipt will go live on Small Business Saturday, November 25. If you have any further questions, please check the FAQ video/comments there before asking here!

Once upon a time, there was a girl as cunning as the fox in winter, as hungry as the wolf at first frost, and cold as the icy wind that kept them at each other's throats.

Preliminaries round 2 match 13

Pennsylvania (United States of America) vs

Penny (Stardew Valley) vs

Vanja Schmidt/ Red Penny Thief (Little Thieves) vs

Penelope “Penny”Sanchez (ChalkZone)

Only two may move on

Propaganda under the cut

Pennsylvania (United States of America)

• sorry I just think this would be funny. I’m mostly submitting this for the bit so totally no pressure to include it

• #1 Penny in my heart

• i’m not even american

Penny (Stardew Valley)

• SHE'S SHY AND GOOD WITH KIDS AND LOVES BOOKS AND IS SO FULL OF LOVE. I WISH SHE WAS REAL.

• My wife <3

• Best girl

Vanja Schmidt/ Red Penny Thief (Little Thieves)

• ok so this probably seems like a joke submission but Vanja is the red penny thief! She steals rich peoples jewels and leaves worthless coins in their place

Pollrunner note: I had never heard of them before and now I love her

Penelope “Penny”Sanchez (ChalkZone)

• She's smart and hasn't revealed to the world that her friend discovered a realm based on chalk.

• I have a memory from childhood where my mom was pregnant with my sister and I suggested the name Penny because of this character and then got embarrassed and hid under the table
