All the Awesome Books [Daily Photo #638]

So, the rest of the books we had ordered for my birthday and Xmas finally arrived (most arrived in time but two were a little mischievous!), so I can finally show them all to you! ^u^

 I Heart Robot by Suzanne van Rooyen [South Africa/Finland]

Fanart: Beardust

When I heard that the very awesome writer Suzanne van Rooyen was participating in the New Adult Scavenger Hunt, I knew I had to draw another fanart for their novel Scardust! ^u^ So, meet Bear the Sandcastle Destroyer! (He's actually a really sweet pup who likes shoes.)
