🍂 I’m going to @storyboundfest ! This will be the first con I’ve participated in, both as an author and an artist, and I couldnt be more excited 😁 For those who havent heard of it, Storybound Fest is an indie author convention taking place for the time in KCMO from July 21-22nd 2023! It’ll be an event for indie authors and readers to connect, and its hosted by the wonderful people @nerdybookbox . If youre an self-pubbed author or published by a small press, they’re still selling tickets, so if this is a thing you’re interested in, head on over and sign up! And if youre an author or a reader and you plan on going, let me me know because I’d love to connect! 🍂 • • • • • • • • #storyboundfest #storyboundfest2023 #indiebooks #indieauthors #queerbookstagram #bookstagram #bookconvention #queerauthors #readerly #goodreads #bookrecommendations #queerauthor #authorsofinstagram #independentauthor #readersofinstagram (at Kansas City, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChMxEKKLAF9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q: What's your favorite book convention you've attended OR one you hope to one day attend?. 📚 Last weekend I was able to attend ALA (American Library Association) Annual in Washington, D.C. Full blog post up now, link in bio. This was my first time attending & I’m so glad I finally experienced ALA Annual! It lives up to the hype that everyone says about it. Proof of vaccination or negative test as well as wearing a mask while in the convention center were required for ALA this year and I’m personally so glad they put these safety measures in place. I felt a lot safer with everyone (almost everyone) wearing a mask the entire time. I met some amazing authors and got to meet friends I only knew virtually! 🧙🏻‍♀️ Emily Hampshire, who played Stevie on Schitt’s Creek, and she was so incredibly nice! She has a book coming out in October 2022 called Amelia Aierwood – Basic Witch. ⚾️ Nic Stone - I actually got a book signed for my friend Elizabeth instead of myself, since she loves Nic Stone! Nic is an amazing person and so chill, if you ever get the chance to meet her – do it. 🔥 Jason Reynolds - one of the highlights of my weekend. Due to time he wasn’t personalizing sadly but it was still nice to meet him! He laughed at my "lips" face mask and that was fun, always a great conversation starter. (Not pictured):. 🕯Sabaa Tahir signed her graphic novel, A Thief Among the Trees, which I haven’t read yet but can’t wait to dive into, since I loved An Ember in the Ashes. 🍋 Emily Thiede, author of This Vicious Grace, was also a lot of fun since I loved that book. 🌈 Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer, a beautiful graphic novel and Maia was so kind. Overall I received 94 books total – 69 arcs & 25 finished copies! PHEW! I think I’m set with my reading materials for a while 🤓 ALA Annual 2023 is in Chicago, IL. I’m not sure yet if I’ll attend next year, but it is an amazing and fun experience and I highly recommend attending if you can! #ALA #ALAAnnual #alaannualconference #bookconvention #bookevent #bookishevent #NicStone #JasonReynolds #emilyhampshire #meetingauthors (at Walter E.

Illustration from the Eurofurence 6 conbook!

I always enjoy the Eurofurence conbooks because they include very detailed rundowns of their movie screening schedules, which are often incredibly strange movies I'd never heard of before. Always gives me something to add to my watchlist lol. You can see the EF 6 conbook here!

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Keirsten White *8/10*

Elizabeth Lavenza hasn’t had a proper meal in weeks. Her thin arms are covered with bruises from her “caregiver,” and she is on the verge of being thrown into the streets . . . until she is brought to the home of Victor Frankenstein, an unsmiling, solitary boy who has everything–except a friend. Victor is her escape from misery. Elizabeth does everything she can to make herself indispensable–and it works. She is taken in by the Frankenstein family and rewarded with a warm bed, delicious food, and dresses of the finest silk. Soon she and Victor are inseparable. But her new life comes at a price. As the years pass, Elizabeth’s survival depends on managing Victor’s dangerous temper and entertaining his every whim, no matter how depraved. Behind her blue eyes and sweet smile lies the calculating heart of a girl determined to stay alive no matter the cost . . . as the world she knows is consumed by darkness. 

Last year, June 2017, I took an amazing trip to a little thing called Bookcon! Bookcon is a convention for book lovers everywhere, taking place at the Javits Center in New York City. Amidst the many panels I attended was one featuring author Kiersten White. Now I will admit, I hadn’t read any of her prior novels, but now I feel like I have been missing out. She announced the release of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein would be in September of 2018, timed with the 200th anniversary of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. 

*incoming spoilers*

This book was lovely in the darkest ways. Our main character Elizabeth is on a path of survival through love. Being abused as a child, she has transformed herself into everything the Frankensteins need her to be, or more specifically, everything Victor Frankenstein needs her to be. They grow up inseparable, and you start to fall for how easy they connect. Oh, how I love a book with a twist...

“While I saw the destruction of the tree as nature’s beauty, Victor saw power—power to light up the night and banish darkness, power to end a centuries-old life in a single strike—that he cannot control or access. And nothing bothers Victor more than something he cannot control.” 

My first thought going in was I. WANT. A. MOVIE. I had barely finished the first few chapters and I could already imagine the film adaptation. That is how well written this story is. The characters are so easy to imagine and move with. You almost want to warn them once you get an idea of where it’s all going. Elizabeth is one of the strongest female leads I have read and she is very firm on where she stands. Love seems to only be a bonus to the ultimate goal of survival and security. 

“The trap was set and I was both bait and poison.” 

While reading, you almost want to understand Victor as a person. Maybe he is just misunderstood. True brilliance is often misunderstood, right? But he brings a whole new image to the idea of teetering between brilliance and madness. As you follow Elizabeth on her journey, you’ll be shocked as your perception of what should be her happy ending will quickly change. 

Hooked from beginning to end, this is definitely a story I recommend for all horror and science fiction aficionados. The only thing I wish is for more of an explanation for Elizabeth’s mysterious ending.

I purchased my copy of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein on Amazon. You can also find this book on Barnes & Noble.

Q: What's a memorable experience you've had with an author/at an author event?. It's been a full week since #YALLFest now and I really don't know where the time goes. I kept meaning to post photos from the Smackdown earlier, but then REAL LIFE started back up and here we are, a week later. The Smackdown at YALLFest is one of the most fun events I've ever attended and its a MUST if you go to YALLFest! I highly recommend it - I laughed so hard, I cheered, I screamed and clapped. And I got to see some of my favorite authors do some fun stuff on stage. #YALLFest2021 These are just a few moments I recorded/photographed - some if it you just had to be there. #yallfestsmackdown #authorevent #bookfestival #bookconvention #angiethomas #nicstone (at Charleston Music Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe6iMzLA_A/?utm_medium=tumblr
