Hihihi!
Here’s a bit about me so you can decide if I should gain a follow!
I’m obsessed with YA/ Fantasy/ Middle Grade/Graphic Novels/Mythology fiction and fill my time reading, writing, doing pottery, painting, cuddling cats and dreaming of equality! (Fierce feminist)
📚You’ll see it all here!📚🏳️🌈🐱

I haven't read Legends and Lattes yet but one thing I would LOVE to read is magical beings working in a Starbucks or Amazon warehouse equivalent where they unionise/rise up against the evil billionaire wizard owner...anyone done one? I am eager to give you my money.

When people refer to reading as a "hobby" it always surprises me. I was brought up with reading as a way of life. I've never thought of it as a hobby so much as an essential part of living. #booksky💙📚

If you want kids to love reading - LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and choice is a right that every reader should have. Never take it away from them! #literacy #reading #kidlit #books
