it sounds hard to believe but reading for enjoyment is one of the best things you can do for your mental health. reading daily is good for your soul. it’s good for your brain. and it makes you mysteriously gorgeous

We lose the habit of reading because we’re afraid of wasting our time. We think we need to be preoccupied and productive at all times. But people are not machines, and you are nourished by naps and fiction and basking in sunlight, no less than by food and drink.

Children are the most oppressed class of people in the country. The structurally enforced abuse and neglect of children is stifles every single element of our country’s health and future, socially, economically, all of it.

It’s a great day to order a book from your bookstore's favorite bookstore !💚

Chappell Roan needs a copy of The Life and (Medieval) Times of Kit Sweetly because this is exactly the fabulous ferocious queer lady knight energy I wrote onto that book!🌈⚔️

not to be sentimental but I think it’s beautiful that libraries exist and are free and that we can use them. I love that there are so many bookish folk who are always reading and learning. I’m so glad to live in a world where there are books.

HOMEGROWN MAGIC hits bookshelves in six months, as of yesterday 🍓✨

all this post-Chappell “authors we need queer lady knight books!!!” energy … okay but what if we’ve already written them

It’s #bisexualawarenessweek (apparently!) so we invite you to perceive Yael Clauneck: one of our two bisexual MC’s in HOMEGROWN MAGIC, and resident disaster ✨

Listen, I rarely give out 5 stars. But this book was everything I wanted & more. If you like cozy fantasy & cute romance, also d&d? Pick this up. Pair with hibiscus tea & scones with strawberry jam. 🌺 🍓 ✨️

Continuing our celebration of Bisexual Awareness Week, it’s Margot Greenwillow’s turn. We present HOMEGROWN MAGIC’s stressed-out garden gay. Perceive her ✨

Time to reveal the absolute COOLEST THING about Don’t Let The Forest In!!! Because yes my twisted YA dark academia horror about eldritch forest monsters coming to life from drawings IS ILLUSTRATED. I AM VERY NORMAL ABOUT THIS!!!! Also only 40 days to go!!!!

Every once in a while it hits me again how perfect Homegrown Magic by Becca Podos (is mostly not here) and Jamie Pacton is. Seriously. I know it’s not out yet but I think I need to read it again, and y’all should preorder it.

Don’t mind if I do ✨ HOMEGROWN MAGIC and its bi, f/nb mc’s hit shelves next March!

Absolutely! Most of my books have bi mcs (and I'd say Kit is bi, but didn't know it when her book came out, lol). More info on all of them here! jamiepacton.com/blank
