@heymrsbond The Jewel Kingdom chapter book series. I was 6. :)

@scasswriting These are mostly older titles, with a couple exceptions. I feel like the rules around mg "tightened" around 2010 and only now are they starting to loosen again. (For example, my debut The Unicorn Quest originally had a 14 year old protagonist but I was told to age her to 11).

@Jess__Red My trilogy, The Unicorn Quest! Narnia with sisters in a world where art is magic, unicorns have disappeared, and monsters abound. :)

@babbymd Not the latest 5-star book I've read, but Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert is fantastic -- still magic (contemporary witches!) even if it's not faerie. <3

(But if you want MORE faeries...Emily Wilde books!)

@Jelenawrites So dreamy! Which island did you get married on? We got married on Hvar, since it was the island with the best set up to plan from afar. (My husband is from Zagreb, but we live in the States, so it was a destination wedding for my side but local-ish for his.)

[Kamilla Benko 🦄❄️🏰 @kkbenko]

@realgirl_fieri Frozen dinosaur nuggets that take two minutes to heat up in the microwave served with frozen peas that take one minute to heat up in the microwave. We're both happy.
