Was awestruck by the glacier in Tracy’s Arm Fjord but eventually remembered to take a selfie like a proper millennial. Glacier day is my favorite day. #alaska
SWEET JEEBUS I SURVIVED. Book two initial draft, sequel to THE LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN, turned in to @rebeccathegeek three days early and a zillion sleepless nights later. I am off to sleep for a week and play old RPGs. (Working title here ENTIRELY tentative)
How PRETTY is this shot of the TLotU ARC?? (By @franzencomesalive ) I am just 😍😭 #bookstagram #jointhelibrary #raisehell #acerocbooks #fantasy

There’s no insta filter better than spring on a clear day.
