Hey First name / friend!
Over 100 of you joined the newsletter in the past week—it's an incredible beginning. THANK YOU for being here, and letting me nerd out with you! I love the philosophy behind “building in public”, so I may give periodic updates on our growing community. And stay tuned for some special merch I'm designing JUST for my early supporters.
This week we've got reviews for one of my new favorite fantasy series, and it just might be yours too. Plus, if you need an epic story playlist to read/work to, I've curated the perfect one on Spotify. And if you're new to the bookish community, or want to double check your knowledge, I've put together a massive list of the most commonly used acronyms and phrases to make sure you're in the know.
I also finished my first interview with a Booktok Creator I absolutely love, and I cannot wait for you to read her story next week.
Don't forget to add ashley@booksaremythirdplace.com to your contacts list, so you don't miss future editions…✍️
