🌀Spells for Back to School season, book recommendations, writerly updates🌀
Plus- when IS the real new year? Sarah9ofwands.substack.com
#witchsky
An illustration of a spiral with 8 potential new years dates on it: January 1, signs of spring, Aries season, your birthday, the first day of school, San, literally any day you choose!, Winter solstice. Inside the spiral is written the phrase: whenever you want because time is a spiral just pick a time of year that feels good to you. Or not. You don’t have to celebrate this, the illustration is titled when is the real start to the new year?

That feeling when you go on a walk with a friend but you both keep stopping to take pictures of mushrooms because you’re on the same page and that’s true friendship right there.

Along with incredible momentum, I’ve seen naysayers pointing out that this boycott is imperfect or won’t have “enough” of an impact.

The hole-poking is unhelpful. Being part of a movement means knowing how to follow.

There is always room for improvement, but seeking perfection will bog us down.
Economic Boycott poster with red rabbit on blue background. Text reads, "don't buy stuff Friday Feb. 28. We have power. No Amazon, Target, fast food, gas. Ok small business. Use cash." Surrounding the poster in white text on a red background reads, "Why we are all getting on board with this boycott. 'If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow.'"

Smart and spooky with such a fresh voice. Is Bog Myrtle my new favorite #kidlit? It’s a modern folktale that feels both timeless and prescient to the current moment and if I didn’t already love it- I would after reading the artwork note (beet juice & dirt? 🖤)

The cover of the children’s book Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp against a background of a black cloth with moons on it. The cover of the book has a girl in a red dress looking at a green giant with white hair who is peeking out from behind a series of hills A page from Bog Myrtle, children’s graphic novel in which a girl in a red dress is sweeping and dusting and inventing a song about interspecies domestic cooperation Another page from the graphic novel for children, Bog Myrtle, in which a girl in a red dress is walking through Waving at bugs, butterflies, and a spider woman The copyright page of Bog Myrtle. In particular the note about the artwork says it was rendered in pencil, watercolor, ink, beet juice, and dirt

Craft update: Finally framed this cool painting I bought from Marotzke Art. I couldn’t find a frame I liked for it so I DIY’ed one.

Scenes from our local indie bookstore’s 1st annual stuffie sleepover party 😂 Booksellers are the most incredible people for hosting creative events like this. 📚💙 #kidlit #booksky
Author on a couch reading aloud to children. Stuffed animals reading Magic Child: A Bedtime Ritual (a board book). It is nighttime. Stuffed animals wrapping a book in brown paper. Stuffed animals eating cookies in front of a sign that says, “you can cry here”

The big A has cheap delivery, but does it set up a parapet and act out the scene between Violet and Rhiannon for a midnight release party? I think not! 🖤 my indie bookstore
