SDCC Photo Hunt 2026: We're Back Baby! 📸🚀

Happy San Diego Comic Con week! After a 10-year hiatus, the SDCC Photo Hunt is BACK BABY! 📸🎉

From 2013–2016, hundreds of you played along as we explored San Diego Comic-Con one photo at a time. Looking back at those photos now feels like opening a time capsule, so it only felt right to bring it back for SDCC 2026 after ten years!

 

Here's how to play:
📸 Snap as many photos from the list as you can throughout Comic-Con.
📲 Share them on Instagram using #SDCCPhotoHunt26.
🏷️ Tag @meganelvrum so I can see your adventures!

Whether you're attending for the first time, a returning veteran, or — like me — coming back after a decade away, I would love to see Comic Con through your eyes!

✨ Bonus challenge: Can you find Musical Awakening somewhere at the convention? (Hint... you just might. 😉📖)

Who's heading to Comic Con this year? Let me know in the comments! I'll see you nerds there on Friday 7/24! I'll be walking the floor all day!👾

PS. check out pasts years: 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016

The Book Review That Shook Me To The Core 📖😱

I have been writing on this blog since 2012.

Fourteen years of blog posts, concert recaps, dating stories, coffee shop confessions, Five Fandom Friday lists, and late night tweets about music that meant so much to me. Fourteen years of putting words out into the world and hoping someone somewhere felt less alone because of them.

What I didn't always know was who was reading.

10 Things Readers Might Not Notice in Musical Awakening 📖🎶💖

Musical Awakening was written in layers.

The story on the surface — June Snow, Richmond Adams, years of near-misses and music and longing — is the one you read. But underneath it, woven through every chapter and tweet and blog post, there's a whole other layer of detail that rewards the readers who are paying close attention.

Consider this your decoder ring. 🎶

Spoiler warning: this post discusses details from throughout the novel.
