Have you read @trungles the magic fish. It’s a really beautiful story about a boy trying to find the words through the fairy tales he and his mom love to read. It made me have feelings. I wanted to do a little fan art for it! Please pick up this lovely comic. #art #artistsoninstagram #sketch #drawing #doodle #fanart #fairytale #illustration #helenmask #pdxartist #pdxart #trungles #themagicfish #artnouveau #artnouveaustyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CIfR2ergr3t/?igshid=o6y1jft7ofth

Yalll I’m back!!!!! My semester is over! 🥳 I’ve been so stressed my book buying may have gone a ~little~ overboard lately. Here are some new graphic novels I picked up! Do you stress-buy? It’s a bad habit of mine but I’ve actually gotten better even with all the new books I recently purchased. Progress! . #QOTD: What are you reading? I love YA but I’ve been reading only YA since January for school so I’m planning on reading some adult and middle grade books this week. I started The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren yesterday and I love it so far! . . . #newbooks #graphicnovels #currentlyreading #bookstagram #bookworm #yabooks #yagraphicnovels #bookhaul #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #librariansofinstagram #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #ownvoices #dunegraphicnovel #almostamericangirl #themagicfish #bookish #bookcommunity #beautybookcorner https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBpomhriE3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Sunday!!! What is everyone up to??? How is life treating you??? Mine has been hectic and 1st September is just 1 week 3 days away. I am nervous but also excited and also scared! Whatever that will be happening won't be related to bookstagram but my personal life! A huge major drastic change that I think? I am ready?! Not sure if I am! Please send me your good wishes and prayers🥺. So now onto the book. I read it for #readwithpride and I loved it! All the books that I read in June (yes I am posting reviews from months ago! I promise to be regular now) were really good. 🐟The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen. 🐟LGBTQIA+, Coming Out, Gay Literature. 🐟⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟/5 Stars. 🐟This book has my heart and my soul! The storyline of this book was so capturing and beautiful. The writing style and progress of this story were really good but kind of slow. I got confused a bit in the middle as I found the transitions in the story a bit difficult to navigate. 🐟The one thing that took my breath away was the illustrations that made the story so damn beautiful! I loved them so much, half of the time I was just oogling them🤣. 🐟A small sweet book that has my heart😻😻. #themagicfish #trunglenyguyen #lgbtq🌈 #pridebooks #pride #bookreview (at Ahmedabad, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chjk8WSLdGk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Never mind why," she said. "Just go back to the fish. Tell him I want to be the queen of the sun and the moon and the stars." From "The Magic Fish" by Winslow Pinney Pels and Freya Littledale. I've always rooted for the wife in this story. It does not seem accidental that women who dream above their station in fairytales always get squashed in the end. Fairytales are the only place where well-behaved women frequently make history. . #scholastic #themagicfish #kidlit #winslowpinneypels #freyalittledale #teamwitch #picturebookillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B7nzN8bHvf9/?igshid=1vqa52s6zs8n6
