Today I’m spotlighting two books I’m looking forward to this spooky season! However, since I’m burried under a mountain of writing at the moment, they may end up being a Nightmare Before Christmas kind of reads. 🫣🤭 What are you reading over Halloween? #malicehouse #meganshepherd #bibliolifestyle #spookyreadsforhalloween #andrewjbrandt #pictureunavailable #horrorreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQ_1FfrL6d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shadow kitty sitting on a pretty book. 🐈 #Windowphotoshoot for Beatrice Likes the Dark. Written by @apriltucholke, illustrated by @khoa.le.artwork, and published by @algonquinyr. This book is STUNNING, both the pictures and the beautiful story of two sisters who couldn’t be more different but still find ways to appreciate one another. I will always be a fan of April Tucholke and her emotive, moving prose and enchanting storytelling, whether in #picturebook form or novel.
🌙 ☀️
With lushly detailed artwork, award-winning illustrator Khoa Le brings to vivid life acclaimed author April Tucholke’s heartwarming, slightly spooky tale about two very different sisters who learn to celebrate their individuality, understanding that love runs deeper than their differences

🎃👑 Thanks to @burrowingowlbooks and @writerbrandt, the launch party for my new fall release, #ShadesofRustandRuin, was a great success! We had balloons, yummy macarons from @sweetbycaralinn, a backlist bonanza, awesome engangement during the Q&A, and so many lovely guests in attendance—some even bearing gifts. 🎁 A special shout-out to @westtexaskreations for the beautiful quote/glitter tumbler in my bookcover’s colors, and to @r.e.nightingale for the delicious homemade gingerbread cookies and pumpkin juice! And to all of you who couldn’t attend, you still made my launch week so special by hanging out with me here online. I couldn’t ask for more talented, generous, or supportive fans. I appreciate you so much!❤❤❤ 🍒 🍏  #GoblinMarket #Labyrinth #aghoward #books #authorsofinstagram #portalfantasy #authorsigning #yalit #Mystiquiel #bloomsburyya #retelling #goblinfruit #halloween #literacymatters #readers #litfic #bookevents #writerslife #yalit #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #steampunk https://www.instagram.com/p/CiabkH5rInt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today, for #Thursdayart, I wanted to share a post by an amazing #artist named Amy Shane (@amy_fortheloveofbook) who helps authors get the word out about their books by painting their covers onto her leg and posting the beautiful results online. I'm so honored that she chose #ShadesofRustandRuin as inspiration for her latest incredible tribute! These screenshots are impressive enough on their own, but for the full effect, be sure to hop over to her IG and check out her reel to see a timelapse encapsulation of her work! I read that it can take up to 6 to 8 hours to complete one of her masterpieces. 😯❤️ #bodyart #aghowardbooks #bookreel #bookstagramreel #yafantasy #goblinmarket #labyrinth #Halloween #yalit #steampunk #artistshelpingartists https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQdjodAtV8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I promise this is my last post today, but I just had so much to thank you all for! Because of your wonderful support over the past few days, you pushed my audiobook (narrated by the amazing @jcmccraw) into two different bestseller categories on Amazon. I even had my hardback of #ShadesofRustandRuin on the “Hot New Releases” category right next to the audio version! I hope everyone is enjoying their reads, and I’ll never be able to thank you enough for your support! Because of you, I get to live my dream and tell the stories of my heart. ❤ ⚙️🖤🎃👑 #GoblinMarket #Labyrinth #bookstagram #aghowardbooks #aghoward #bookcover #authorsofinstagram #portalfantasy #yalit #beautifulbooks #bloomsburyya #retelling #goblinfruit #newrelease #GoblinKing #yafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNtfzSr-dR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
