I just bought the Kindle edition of both volumes of Briana Lawrence’s mixed media magical girl series, Magnifique NOIR, and I am psyched about this magic. Cosmic Green’s outfit is a dream. All the characters are gorgeous. 📚

I’m RSVPing yes to IndieWebCamp Personal Libraries Pop Up Session.

Excited to chat about how we track and share book stuff! 📚
