love day (and fairy book news!)
Happy early Valentine’s Day! This is going to be a short one but here are some Storytime Book Club resources y’all might enjoy:
Valentine’s Day book recs!
Free printable valentines! (Use code loveday).
Craft and activity ideas! As featured on the various Instagram guides I put together last year, which include:
Class valentine ideas (one of my very favorite things)
I have a bunch of library books to pick up (plus an order from ThriftBooks!) so I’ll post those to Storytime Book Club and Vintage Library Club the next few weeks. After that it’s FULL STEAM AHEAD to spring! We’re emerging from an Ice Week in Texas so I personally am ready for allllll the birds and bees and flowers and sun (bunnies, too, of course). I spent the last few days updating our Spring bookshop list — please enjoy!
One last thing, ICYMI — last week we finally revealed the cover for Fiona Builds a Fairy House! It is so so gorgeous and I am eternally grateful to my illustrator Celia Krampien (and the team at Macmillan/Roaring Brook!) for bringing Fiona and her friends to life in such a magical way. It goes on sale *August 1st*! Pre-orders are now open at your local bookshop/any online retailer (no pressure!), or you can add Fiona to your Want to Read shelves and/or Amazon Wishlists — would be so super helpful!
All for now, fam! Hope everyone’s staying safe and warm :)
