Happy #bookbirthday to THE DANCER AND THE DREAM THIEF by @rowenna.miller! 🥳

Evelyn Pulaski spends her evenings selling dreams working at the Palace Ballroom. For a dime a dance, she plays into a cheap fantasy of romance before returning to the gritty reality of everyday life. When dance hall girls start disappearing, a mysterious group of elfin bootleggers is the prime suspect.

Raife is also in the business of selling dreams. He is part of an operation stealing dreams from humans and peddling them in the elfinlands. Raife takes a shine to Evelyn, telling himself his interest is purely professional, but there is something…entrancing about her.

When Evelyn's best friend disappears, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with Raife. And together they'll discover the power of dreams to change, or even remake, the world.

Happy #bookbirthday to PRESIDENT OF THE ANIME CLUB by @mallowboo & @diggymungo! 🥳

We are thrilled that this manga-style YA #graphicnovel with #animeclub love is finally out in the world!

It’s the first day of high school, and Cherie is unsure how to find her place. But then she meets Naomi, a fellow freshman and fan of Orange High School Bakery Club―Cherie’s favorite anime. Naomi’s warmth and confidence ignite confusing feelings in Cherie. Their duo becomes a trio when they befriend Miro, a boy in their class with an interest in learning about anime.

Enter Jenny: a charismatic upperclassman and president of the school’s anime club. When she invites the three friends to join, it creates tension between them. As Cherie, Naomi, and Miro deal with complicated feelings, can their special bond survive? And will their love of anime endure?

Congrats to @amycarolreeves on a fantastic review for THE BEST REVENGE! Make sure to add this rom-com to your #TBRlist! 🐆

“Reeves makes both leads flawed, thorny, and fascinating and studs their romance with comedic moments and emotional revelations. Readers who like their rom-coms with a side of snark and angst will eat this up.” -@publisherswkly by @contextliterary
