Poolside enjoying @reesesbookclubxhellosunshine’s book club pick #thenighttiger with my new little reading buddy 😺
Words swirl, from stories to dreams, imagination taking flight in the starry Reading Tent 💚
I just *thought* I sat down to read a book. Silly human. It’s time for ear skritches #petsofinstagram
Drifts and shifts of blooms
“There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is all about.” —Helen Frankenthaler
A recent return to my childhood bookshelf led me to discover this gem. I think I was ten when I read it. Adult-me couldn’t recall much more than the stark beauty of a cold beach and the magical way moonlight trailed after elusive seal heads. And of course, the mysterious best friend who appeared right when you needed one. But even though time had softened the memory of this book, the magic had stayed with me so that when I was writing Marvel & Happy, my middle grade magical realism, I held the feelings this book gave me close. 26 years later, and I’m eager to reread and dive back into the mysterious sea 🌊 #throwbackthursday #mg #amreading
