In case you missed it at Christmas time! It's a YA sci-fi retelling of Bluebeard, one of the fairy tales least likely to ever get a Disney adaptation.

The interplay between the text and the pictures here was so much fun. It was like "Rosie's Walk" by Pat Hutchinson mashed up with Hiyao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky." Loved it.

WIP setting. I love getting out into nature.
I absolutely love that instead of copy-paste-put-in-Zelda-as-protag, this is a game where they thought about Zelda as the Triforce of Wisdom and gave her her own very cool engineering kind of gameplay.
Also really happy to see more in this art style!

Wrapped up a three-year-long campaign with these guys! There was a surprising amount of salt farming and turning people into hedgehogs. I love writing stories to share, but there's also something special about a TTRPG—a collaborative storytelling process meant just for the people in the room.

Pokemon: Horizons is the only kids show I know with modern characters who casually, happily distance/virtual/homeschool.
I came for the cute Sprigatito and they're dropping "Oh I've always done distance because I think better in the woods" and NO ONE tells Roy he has to sit in a chair to learn. 💚

Me in August: Why am I stressed about reading books printed this year? Books don't have an expiration date! I can read things from last year; it's okay.
Me at Nebula Nominations Time: AAAAHHH. Why is most of the kidlit I read from last year? Why?!?
And so the cycle continues...

LTUE was fantastic. Friends introduced me to new friends, I met amazing people on the panels I was on, and I went to fantastic classes. I also only remembered to take one picture, so, uh, goals for next year.
