Hi everyone!
After last week’s post I realized there was a simpler and prettier way to gather my recommendations, and so I signed up to become a Bookshop affiliate.
You can now shop my favorite reads at the thot shoppe, or simply bookmark the page as a succinct browsing tool; I’ll be adding different books and lists over the year to come.
For now I only have two lists—one for my favorite 2023 reads, and the other a “beach reads” list for the books that are perfect for travel, for sick days, or simply for leaving the world behind. Nothing stressful or too heavy, in other words.
My Bookshop profile also uses an actual, bona fide selfie as my profile pic. Definitely a baby step re: getting comfortable about using my actual identity for this blog.
Another baby step is opening up the subscriber base for this Substack. So if you have any friends or colleagues who would appreciate quasi-regular book recs and the odd publishing rant, please do recommend this blog or my shop(pe)!
