I just made an Instagram account to post my hobbies (& other stuff absolutely NO ONE has asked for).
Here's me trying to build a miniature BOOK NOOK (complete with miniature books, maps, paintings & a functioning light switch)
A #booknook is a type of cozy mini-deco that goes on your bookshelf. 💙📚

Holy s**t, I just checked my copy and mine totally has it! 😱
The ink is not faded at all. It looks super crisp and readable still. I had to blur my code for reasons. 😆
Okay, so, I guess I get a free book? Is it ebook or physical? 😀

The Long Game: Writing a Mystery Series
While most agents and publishers want a first book to stand alone, it’s a bonus if your mystery novel (or any novel) has series potential.

Question for anyone who's previously attended #Gamescom:
I'm planning to attend the next Gamescom (26-30 August 2026 in Köln, Germany) as a VISITOR, yet I've no clue which days to pick.😕
It's a 2.5h drive from where I live, so it's doable, but I can't be there on all the days. Which days are best?

I wanted to do an iridium quality one but couldn't find the sprite! 😄
Jokes aside, I'm really proud of you, Lu. After reading VA-TBoC, I understand all the hype. I really do. Book 1 was a planet, but Book 2 was a universe. I honestly can't wait for Book3.
