Hi loves! I'm kicking off the year with an updated space to show off all the incredible books I've worked on. I'm so proud to have been just a wee part of each of these brilliant stories, so if you're looking for a creator to support, please come on by! bit.ly/juliambooks

Turned in the last of my edits for PENNIES. Still have copyedits and whatnot but I'm basically done with these girls. Mae, Lark, Claret, and Brigid built a fort right in the middle of my heart. Hope young readers love them, too. PENNIES - a Blight Harbor prequel - out fall 2025.

once again, really urging people to get a library card if you haven't already - and not just that, i'm begging you to USE your library resources. show up. though they're important, we do way more than just books. libraries are spaces that allow community building and care.

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Today I am doing my best to focus on the thousands upon thousands of people who have been mobilizing and advocating and educating and assisting and protesting and demanding a better future. There is so much love and kindness in those acts. The helpers exist. Let’s keep fighting.

The quote “crying tears of blood” is how I know this is the perfect person for the job
Takashi Yamazaki reveals he got a lot of offers to direct other films after the success of ‘GODZILLA MINUS ONE’ “I can't tell you what these offers were. I turned them all down, crying tears of blood, because I'm making a new Godzilla movie.” (Source: cinematoday.jp/news/N0145681)

Do not mourn October. November is truly the spookiest month. Grey, cold and bleak. The lush gold and red are gone, mornings dark as sin. Now the trees are naked and brittle things, no baubles yet hang to catch the light. November is October's nastier, meaner cousin. Enjoy it.
