Eeeeeeeeeeeeeep!! I can’t finally reveal to you guys one of the most exciting projects! This was a total dream come true as they are my favourite books when I was a teenager and still are! I’ve had the total unbelievable privilege to illustrate the new covers for @philippullmanofficial His dark materials trilogy!! This is the first book ‘Northern lights’ or in the US it was renamed The golden compass. With the excitement that is building in me for the new BBC drama coming at the beginning on November I’m still agog that I’ve done these covers. I know that the fan base for these books is epic so I hope they are well received and I’ve done it justice. I must say a huge Thankyou to my agent Helen @inklingpress @pickledinkfor being by my side and being all around BOSS and to @scholastic_uk for thinking of me for these reissues and doing such a super job with all the foiling! This is a paper back edition but it has pull out flaps as you can see if you scroll along in my pictures. The other two books will be out in a month, but to by this first one the ISBN number is 978-1407198705 if you pop that into google it will come up with shops that are selling this edition. 

In 2013 Philip Pullman wrote a story on Twitter about a fly named Jeffrey. I’m illustrating that story one tweet at a time. Here’s tweet number 27.

BOOK REVIEW: Northern Lights by Philip Pullman . So I pushed myself to read this before the tv series came out, and I’m not disappointed. I fully understand now why this is such a classic. I have fallen in LOVE with Lyra and Pan, and also Iorek! It’s one of those books where you’re instantly hooked, no having to ‘get into the story the first 100 pages’ I saw that this series made the BBC’s 100 most inspiring books list, and I haven’t even finished the series and already agree. Honestly the only let down is that I didn’t order the whole series in one go, so now I have to wait until the other 2 books arrive before I get to meet Will! . If you had a dæmon, what animal would it be? I like to think mine would be something like a hedgehog! 🦔 . P.S. please no spoilers for the tv show! My family and I are saving it to watch it all together during the holidays! 🎄 . . . #johannasreviews #bookreview #northernlights #hisdarkmaterials #philippullman #bookcover #bookcoverart #theamberspyglass #thesubtleknife #bookseries #booktrilogy #bookstagram #booksta #booksofinsta #booksofig #bookclassics #classicbooks #childrensclassics #childrensbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sWeDAACx1/?igshid=ei6b0n511k8j

What book have you re-read more than any other? 📚 I first read THE GOLDEN COMPASS when I was in 6th grade, when my dad bought it for me as a Christmas present. I then proceeded to re-read it countless times while I waited two years for the 2nd book to be released. Then I re-read both books even more while I waited *four* years for the final book in the trilogy!!! (I was a senior in high school when it finally came out.) I've since re-read all three books together several times, and they remain my all-time favorites to this day. . . So, thanks, Dad, for introducing me to the book that would change my life. Happy Father's Day! . . Gold velvet pin hoop is from @thevintagefoxshoppe ... set an alarm for next Saturday's restock & use NOVICE10 to save. (Swipe right for a close-up of the hoop & pins!) . .

“We feel cold, but we don't mind it, because we will not come to harm. And if we wrapped up against the cold, we wouldn't feel other things, like the bright tingle of the stars, or the music of the aurora, or best of all the silky feeling of moonlight on our skin. It's worth being cold for that.”- Serafina Pekkala, The Golden Compass Unfortunately, I’m not a witch and invulnerable to the cold. But I was still able to enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights ceremony this past weekend and I think that’s almost just as good. #thegoldencompass #hisdarkmaterials #christmaslights #tistheseason #selfie #sweaterweather #serafinapekkala #philippullman #winter https://www.instagram.com/p/B5jwigKAyF-/?igshid=1rqgulg5nftcp

Last year I read His dark materials and I loved, among other things, how in Lyra's world you could see your soul right next to you. This year the HBO's versión has made me relive everything I felt when I was reading the book.

A cup of tea and a good book- just what these cold, blustery afternoons need. I finished this book, La Belle Sauvage- Part 1 of The Book of Dust, yesterday evening after a marathon of reading. I definitely enjoyed the ride it took me on, but I’m going to have to reread the Golden Compass, because I found myself a little confused along the way. (Speaking of, has anyone started the Golden Compass show by @hbo yet? I was waiting until I finished this book but would love to chat about it once I begin!!)
