What a gift to find this in my inbox this morning. Your writing often moves me to tears (on public transit even) and while I don’t really understand why, I’m grateful for it and for you.
I have not had much luck with book groups but I found a local stitchers group recently that fills me up and it’s so wonderful.
It makes me so happy to hear that my writing resonates with you. Thank you for reading! A stitching group sounds wonderful. And YES to rereading Frog and Toad, you will not be sad, it is the best choice you can make.
Hi Laura- To answer your questions, "Are you interested in reading the full reviews? Would you be into it if I sent out weekly newsletters containing a single review?"
I don't know what I'd be saying yes or no too! I love the snippets. How long is a typical 'full review' for you? Are you already writing them or would you be writing them especially to share? I'd be curious about a weekly single review, but don't want to ask too much of you. That's my thoughts.
Thanks so much for responding! The reviews are already written, yes! I've gotten into the habit of reviewing everything I read (which I love doing), and I often post on IG but recently the review's have been longer, and I'm so tired of fighting with IG caption limits, so I've been thinking about posting them here. They are usually not super long. I posted two in this week's newsletter, and those are pretty typical. Often longer than a few paragraphs but not like...essay length. Maybe I'll try sending out out soon to see how it feels and what folks think.

And now I need to reread the Frog and Toad books.

This was lovely, as always. I really want to read Blackouts - I love to hear how much you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Martha! Blackouts is so interesting, I feel like I could talk about it forever.
