Red White & Royal Blue the Collector’s Edition by Casey McQuiston

 Red White and Royal Blue The Collector’s Edition  by Casey McQuiston  Oct 11, 2022, St. Martin’s Griffin 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇬🇧   I first read Red White and Royal Blue back in December 2020. I became a fervent fan before I had even reached the end. I had never read anything like it before. I LOVED it. I wanted everyone I knew to read it and love it as much as I did. And now… it kind of feels like they do. 😂  “They” may not be people I’ve actually met in person but I do know, now, a whole lot of people who love the book as much as I do, or more.  RWRB is the book that really started me reading again. I absolutely devoured it, and wanted more. I soon discovered “Bookstagram” and the rest is history. I now have many new favorite books and authors and a whole bunch of amazing people I am lucky to call friends - all because of this book.  👑 The special Collector's Edition of Casey McQuiston's beloved  New York Times  bestselling novel, features: • illust...

Custom Funko Pop Tutorial

 I’ve had several requests for tips on how to make a custom Funko Pop so I thought I’d put together a step-by-step tutorial for anyone who’s interested. I’ll be using Simon & Baz as examples but just know they are rather advanced Pop-ery - not all pops are this complicated or difficult. But most of the info below is relevant to any custom pop you may want to make. Even if you're not making Simon & Baz, do read through the entire tutorial as there are relevant tips throughout. Leave a comment below if you have any questions or requests for anything you want to see that I haven’t included here.  ❤ ❤ ❤ STUFF YOU’LL NEED Paper towels Cups that fit a funko pop inside (one cup per funko pop) Boiling hot water Acrylic paints & paint brushes (if painting is required) Optional but recommended: Box cutter/X-acto knife Super glue (the gel kind, *not* the liquid) Toothpicks (helpful for small detail paint work & clean-up) Matte Finish spray Here's the Pops I'm working w...

Nature & Magic in Freya Marske’s The Last Binding universe

Image
This is basically part 2 of a previous post, Magic & Nature in A Marvellous Light , found here . (It is copied in its entirety and pasted below, as well.) This update/continuation includes content and information from the sequel, A Restless Truth.  The magic system in A Restless Truth carries on in the tradition we see established in A Marvellous Light of being closely associated with nature. You can see several examples from AML in the post below.  But right from the beginning of ART, I noticed the casual usage of flower names; I noted and highlighted 4 instances of flowers being mentioned in the first chapter alone. And then of course we have the characters of Violet and Hawthorn who themselves are plant/flower names. (And if you remember Flora Sutton from the first book, her first name means flowers.) A major aspect of the plot of ART is about a group of women who called themselves the Forsythia Club, after the yellow flowering spring shrub. Of course, the purpose of...
