Hello Friends,

Lots of things happening!

CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER.

First, if you entered the They Bloom At Night giveaway, I have notified winners. I have only heard back from one winner, and I need to send the publisher the info by tomorrow. If I do not get a response before tomorrow, I will choose someone who has already updated their address into their Bindery profile.

Update your Bindery profile to include your address (especially if you are a paid subscriber, as one paid subscriber gets a letter and one gets a book box every month. Again, this month I have sent out emails and have not heard back.

There are a ton of upcoming giveaways. I wouldn't want anyone to miss out.

DO OUR READING TASTES ALIGN?

A new Youtube video has loaded! This video is all about my reading tastes. Find out if our reading tastes align!

SHOP MY BOOKS

Today is the last day to buy my books on Pango before I go to LOS ANGELES to live my CELEBRITY lifestyle (which includes buying a $20 Hailey Bieber smoothie so I can have skin as fresh as a baby, or whatever creepy thing people say.) Spoiler Alert: I will be seeing someone you know in LOS ANGELES. Maybe a few someones! Stay tuned!

You can also buy books from my Bindery Bookshelf (any book I have ever talked about here!)

PITCHFEST

Pitchfest for ungented authors is coming up. (April 9-11) TELL EVERY SINGLE INDIGENOUS AUTHOR YOU KNOW. (Actually, if they have something, I accept submissions every single day, LOL, so just put us in touch! This is a great opportunity for authors without agents.

WHAT IM WATCHING and WHAT IM READING

Have you all watch Adolescence on Netflix yet? The story is about a teenage boy arrested for murdering his classmate. Did he do it, or not? It's 4 episodes, shot all in one shot. Phenomenal Acting. Truly going to be the show of the year.

I finally finished Oathbound. It put me in a major slump. I did not have a good time. I felt it truly suffered from being the middle book. The audiobook really ruined it for me. I also didn't like the change of perspectives. I loved the first two, so I'm hoping book 4 will pull me in.

I finished The Women in Horror Book Club pick, Victorian Psycho. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DISGUSTING DELIGHT. It's going to be turned into a movie and I can't wait! Would be a great double feature with Delilah Dawson's Guillotine (have you read this one yet).

I also finished Stephen Graham Jones' Mongrels. Very enjoyable coming of age Werewolf story.

I am currently reading Good Day To Read Indigenous Book Club pick Godly Heathens , also a great book to read if you are participating in the Trans Rights Readathon!

If you aren't in my Reader Community Discord yet, now is the time to join! It's where the bookclubs, readathons and many of the giveaways happen. Plus we have got a channel dedicated to Book Tea. Learn what kind of mess these authors and influencers are getting into!

What I'm Working On

I am currently working on two different master lists for paid subscribers. One including Women in Horror book recommendations and one for Indigenous book recommendations. Stay tuned!
