As always, our shirts come in fitted and unisex options, and a variety of colors (including orange and black). Proceeds go to support awesome LGBT writers and artists.

I planned to start Mr Mercedes next, but I just decided to read this instead. I’m pretty sure this is books-and-cookies’ influence! :D (I’m going to read Maybe Someday during my trip to London this weekend though as it’s easier to carry… but I’m sure this is also somehow lovely Marys fault :P)

Paranormalcy by  Kiersten White

Evie and Reth Trough the Fairy Paths

This painting started out hard, and yet by the end, I’ve managed to learn some things about my artistic self. Happy accidents =) 

I have deep feelings for Reth. I’m say about how things ended by the end of book three. I really wanted to go with him. 

Mind you, at book one, I thought he was an annoying creep. Still, he was a bit silly for not telling her things from the start. 

[kierstenwhite-deactivated201703]

GLORIOUS.

(I love Reth, too! But I love Evie the most. But Reth was the most fun to write.) (Okay, and Jack.)
