Kind of Addicting. I actually like to keep Japanese peanuts in stock. They’re especially good for snacking during NaNoWriMo.

Thank you to Alicja for this entry in the Photo Challenge I hosted last month. Her photograph includes many details from Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal. She shared, “I got her favorite tree in, though this is a Pink Serissa not a red like Kusunoki’s.” Nice! ::twinkle::
Snack Adventurously
Thank you to Lynne, who sent this along during last month’s Photo Challenge. For those who’ve read both Book 2 and Book 3, I’m sure you grasp the humor. ::twinkle::

ART: Green Dragon
Kimiko took in the Amaranthine’s showy coloring, sheer wardrobe, and excess of accessories and pegged him for a dragon. But not the one she’d been expecting, for Lord Mossberne was a blue.
—Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal (Amaranthine Saga, #2)
I haven’t treated you to art in a while. Let’s have another of FoxOfTwilight’s sketches featuring a cast member from Book 2. You know this guy, right? ::twinkle::
ART: Inti
A Mischief of Monkeys. In the Amaranthine Saga, monkeys are counted among the trickster clans. So it’s only natural that Inti’s arrival causes quite the stir for Class 3-C at New Saga High School. Continue reading
Collecting Pins
Enamel Pins. For someone like me, traditions just sort of start, seemingly all on their own. One thing leads to another thing, and suddenly, it’s a Thing. A good example is a recent gift from the same person who bought me a forget-me-not pin to celebrate Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox. I now have a lovely chrysanthemum pin to mark the publication of Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal. ::twinkle::
And of course, I’m now seriously tempted to have my own pins made for the series.
FORTHRIGHT
