We kicked off #FallCon with our Welcome Mix & Mingle at @s26bc!

It was a great night of seeing old friends, meeting new ones, networking with regional neighbors, and making plans for a great and valuable show. If you couldn’t make it this year, we highly encourage you to join us next year for SpringCon in San Antonio and FallCon in Denver.

Looking for relief from this godforsaken news cycle? This is it! We’re thrilled to announce the next book by NYT best-selling author and brilliant artist Amy Stewart (author of The Tree Collectors, The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Bugs, Wicked Plants)! 🌱🐜🪶 STATE BIRD—out from W.W. Norton on March 2, 2027—is the surprising tale of avian elections, state rivalries, and the birds who definitely did not ask for this. It features Stewart’s distinctive sense of humor and original illustrations throughout. 🦅🦉🦜

Call it neurons firing / dopamine hit / ecstasy.. call it whatever you want! This is exactly what happened in my brain when I surrounded myself with art that I loved, met the best bunch of people and had new experiences in a beautiful town, Edmonds WA.

July was kind to me.. thanks to my dear drawing buddy & Fruncle Naren for the best Bday gift ever. A day at @sketcherfest on July 12th was above and beyond what I imagined.

Met brilliant artists, some whom I’ve been following for a while, some whom I got to hear of and meet for the first time. All of them from different backgrounds with different stories, different styles, different tools, different techniques, but the same message, “Always be creating!”

Looking back at that day, I feel warm, fuzzy, happy, tingly, inspired and full of joy to just start making!

And oh! Edmonds, I love you! What a vibe with views 😍

Almost two years ago, I stopped posting on IG. I never stopped reading, but I mostly just lurked while Bookstagram carried on without me.

Then last week, on a whim, I decided to post again. I honestly had no idea what kind of response I’d get, so thank y’all for welcoming me back. Seeing so many familiar names, along with plenty of new ones, made coming back feel a lot less awkward than I expected. I think I missed y'all more than I realized.

Since I’ve still been reading this whole time, here are five books I don’t think y’all are talking about enough. They don’t have much in common beyond the fact that I think more people should pick them up.

What book do you think isn’t being talked about enough?
