Thank you, @mcmillan._.kids and @booksofwonder for the magical launch of my book. It was the juicy cherry on top of the cake of making this book. Thank you, @missconnieh and @literaticat, for this amazing journey. #booklaunch #pineappleprincess #booksofwonder #roaringbrookpress #sohappy https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRBbERrHuf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Thursday!!! 6 PM ET! I'm doing a virtual event with Julie Kagawa, Vincent Tirado and Elizabeth Lim for @booksofwonder. Crowdcast link: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/fantastic-teen-052523

What's something you've accomplished since joining bookstagram?

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be working with authors and reviewing books early when I joined booksta back in 2017. I didn't even know that was a thing. I just wanted to share my love of books with people who cared.

Fast forward to last month. I am absolutely stoked to be on Brian D. Kennedy's street team for My Fair Brady. I submitted an application because I positively adored A Little Bit Country and was SHOCKED to see I got picked. It's super chill, but I'm just happy to be part of it.

Pub date is January 23, 2024. You can pre-order a copy wherever books are sold. Submit your receipt to the link in @/bdkennedybooks' (insta) bio to receive a bookmark, a sticker, and a signed bookplate. Or you can order a signed copy from @booksofwonder and receive both bookmarks and all three stickers. No form needed.

SYNOPSIS:

Wade Westmore is used to being in the spotlight. So when he’s passed over for the lead in the spring musical, it comes as a major blow—especially when the role goes to his ex-boyfriend, Reese, who dumped him for being too self-involved.

Shy sophomore Elijah Brady is used to being overlooked. Forget not knowing his name—most of his classmates don’t even know he exists. So when he joins the stage crew for the musical, he seems destined to blend into the scenery.

When the two have a disastrous backstage run-in, Elijah proposes an arrangement that could solve both boys’ problems: If Wade teaches Elijah how to be popular, Wade can prove that he cares about more than just himself. Seeing a chance to win Reese back, Wade dives headfirst into helping Elijah become the new and improved “Brady.”

Soon, their plan puts Brady center stage—and he’s a surprising smash hit. So why is Wade suddenly less worried about winning over his ex and more worried about losing Elijah?

Q: What was the last signed book you ordered or had signed in person?. 💎 On Friday, February 17, I went to Books of Wonder for the Revelle by Lyssa Mia Smith launch event! She was in conversation with Lauren Blackwood, Rochelle Hassan, and Meg Long. This event was so good, I loved the conversation and learning more about Revelle. ✨ Since the book is set in the 1920s, of course I had to dress the part for this event too! Any excuse to wear my flapper dress, and I received a lot of compliments on it. It was a fun event and I'm really glad I was able to go. 💃 If you haven't noticed yet, I'm a big fan of Moulin Rouge - Revelle is Moulin Rouge inspired but with MAGIC, lots of magic! And lots of family love for Luxe Revelle - I loved the relationship Luxe has throughout the story with her cousins - it was so heartwarming. There are a few different magical families on Charmant, the island just a ferry ride from New York - and some of the powers include being able to charm and make the customers desires (seemingly) come true, time-travel, healing, mind-reading, and making food or drink the best you've ever had. But of course, all this magic comes with a cost to the user. Highly recommend this book if you're looking for a historical fiction fantasy with some forbidden romance and rival magical families! #Revelle #RevelleTheBook #LyssaMiaSmith #MoulinRouge #MoulinRougeBroadway #epicreads #balzerandbray #fantasybooks #yafantasy #debutauthors #debutbooks #debutfantasy #newbooktuesday #yahistoricalfiction #yaromance #yafantasyromance #yahistoricalromance #boostingya #currentlyreading #bookevent #booksofwonder #booksofwondernyc (at Books of Wonder) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0RPI5vUR4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#IHaveThoughts: seeing your favorite book store or places you've been in print or on screen. Let me know in the comments, does it give you the warm fuzzies? Do you start reminiscing?

Inspired by every time I see or read about @strandbooks or @booksofwonder.

My good friend Peter Glassman, founder of Books Of Wonder, the awesome children’s books store in New York City, sent me a photo of the window display of my very first book event back in 1990. Hosted by Madeleine L’Engle, this event gave me the first taste of reading from one of my books (Heartlight)…and lots of encouragement to do more. Now, more than 30 books later, I still remember every single detail of that event! The window display featured a marvelous blue-winged butterfly, straight out of Heartlight – and today that same butterfly flies across the ceiling of my writing room. Check it out in the video tour of my writing room: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmYq34773G6OwN5eNxGWliE3eS1SQZqbb
