There's something about foggy summer days and book browsing that go hand in hand. This week, I thought it was about time I shared some local San Francisco favorites with you in the form of my go-to independent bookstores. Scroll below for the list.
And next week I'm releasing my long awaited interview with Taythelostbard, aka everyone's favorite voice actor on Booktok! I seriously cannot wait for you all to truly meet him. Since I know a lot of you enjoy video, this will also be my first interview dropping on my YouTube channel as well, so make sure you're subscribed.🙌
While my reading has slowed the past few weeks while I've been working on the upcoming merch collections + shop launch, I find this happens a lot in the summer. Do you find this as well? Can't wait for Fantasy Fall to officially kick off…Head to the bottom of this email for a sneak peek of one of the designs the community voted on last week! You're all the first to see this, so I hope you love it…
Happy reading + see you next Friday,
Ashley

The latest ‘musings from a loft’
Second Breakfast it is!
I finished the LOTR-inspired merch collection designs this week, and samples have been ordered! Last week I asked you all on TikTok and Instagram to vote on a ‘Second Breakfast Club’ or ‘Elevenses Club’ crew to round out the collection.
Votes and comments were overwhelmingly for ‘Second Breakfast’, so here's a sneak peek of how it turned out…yes, there will be multiple colorways. I'm now finalizing our ‘SHELF AWARE’ COLLECTION, so get ready for more voting, as your opinions have been so helpful leading up to this first launch! 🙏🙏🙏
