Hi there! I have a couple of housekeeping notes for you.
One, just a midyear explainer on my paid/free subscription rules around here. You might have noticed that there’s no difference between a paid subscription and a free one for now. My paid subscriptions serve as a tip jar. They pay for my hosting on my regular site, and they buy me a coffee now and then. I really appreciate those of you who’ve jumped in to support me in that way.
I might eventually put some stuff behind a paywall, but for now, I don’t want to.
In other news, I have begun to move my book recommendations over to a “storefront” on bookshop.org. There are three lists so far: one for kids, one with my monthly book stacks, and one with the titles from “The Books That Made Me.” I just started pulling them over last month, so not everything is there yet. But if in the future you are trying to remember a certain title I mentioned, it might be there.
As with any other creative endeavor, the best way you can support this little writing effort is by sharing it with someone. I appreciate it!
