I'm REALLY excited for today's interview, bookworms!!!
THE PRINCE AND THE DRESSMAKER by Jen Wang doesn't come out until February 13, 2018 (Exactly 5 months from today, actually!!! That doesn't feel quite as long. I guess!),
but I've already read it and ADORE it. I cannot WAIT for you to read it too so we can talk about it.
I'm SERIOUSLY bummed there's nobody to talk about this graphic novel with.
It has the feel of a fairy tale while being its own original story. It's about a prince who loves to wear dresses, even though he has to do secretly, and the dressmaker who keeps his secret. The two become fast friends, and the story has so many awesome feels, and I JUST CAN'T. Plus, spoilers!!!
Just know that you have to get your hands on a copy when it releases, okay?
I'll have a full review of the title for you in February, but for now, how about a sneak peek via an author interview with Jen Wang?
DON'T FORGET!!!!
Today's Instagram Challenge is

Isn't today the perfect day for this interview???

Paris, at the dawn of the modern age:
Prince Sebastian is looking for a bride―or rather, his parents are looking for one for him. Sebastian is too busy hiding his secret life from everyone. At night he puts on daring dresses and takes Paris by storm as the fabulous Lady Crystallia―the hottest fashion icon in the world capital of fashion!
Sebastian’s secret weapon (and best friend) is the brilliant dressmaker Frances―one of only two people who know the truth: sometimes this boy wears dresses. But Frances dreams of greatness, and being someone’s secret weapon means being a secret. Forever. How long can Frances defer her dreams to protect a friend? Jen Wang weaves an exuberantly romantic tale of identity, young love, art, and family. A fairy tale for any age, THE PRINCE AND THE DRESSMAKER will steal your heart.
