Who else is a little bit obsessed with stickers? 🙋‍♀️ 

While on tour last summer, I stopped at so many cool indie bookstores (shout out to @mainstreetbooksminot, @thelastchapterchi, and @redballoonbookshop) and quickly accumulated too many stickers. When my laptop and water bottle ran out of room, I decided to build a sticker wall in my office so I could keep all those memories close while working on my next books. 

If you’d like a tour of the stickers, let me know in the comments. 👇 Thanks to @groundwoodbooks and @moonlightandmetaphors for sending my new favourite sticker, an adorable stack of books, including WHO WE ARE IN REAL LIFE. 💛

POV: Your post went viral, but you’re actually j POV: Your post went viral, but you’re actually just an awkward, introvert writing love stories about Dungeons & Dragons and queer joy. 🫣

For everyone new to this space, welcome! I’m Victoria, author of WHO WE ARE IN REAL LIFE, a queer little love story about using TTRPGs to fight injustice both in game and in real life too. If you’re a fan of Stranger Things and Heartstopper, this is the book for you. You know where to find the link.

Also, this is a brave and safe space. Bigots will be swiftly blocked. We’re all about protecting and advocating for trans, queer, indigenous, racialized, abortion, Palestinian, and HUMAN rights. If that’s not your vibe… sorry, not sorry?

Congratulations to @_sarahsuk for winning the White Pine Award for THE SPACE BETWEEN!!

We may not have won any awards today, but I feel like a winner because I had THE best time with @lychengwrites @hellocookie and @matteolcerilli live at the festival. Thank you to @ontariolibraryassociation’s Forest of Reading Festival and my fabulous @groundwoodbooks team for all the support, but an extra special thank you to all the teens who made today and my trip to Toronto such a core memory! I’m sleepy 😴 but so inspired by your excitement for reading. This is just a snapshot of how amazing the last few days have been. Idk, should I get on here and talk about the highlights? Let me know in the comments. 👇
