šOn My Radar: The Next Chapter at Michaels
The Next Chapter collection at Michaels just may be the cutest one Iāve seen in a long, long time, and the prices are crazy low compared to similar merch in this spaceā as low as $2.99 before coupons! Pictured are my faves, but there are even more options on their website. Perfect for Galentineās/Valentineās Day!
I recommend ordering online or checking your local store's inventory before visiting in person. My store only had the little items near the register, but my sisterās had most of them. Iāve heard the same from a few friends.
āŖIn Case You Missed It
šPosts
This week on Substack, the author of the new book,Ā Write For Money and Power, went live on Substack with me, and we chatted about all things behind the scenes of Friday Night Readers. I think my favorite part was explaining how I branded it.
I also shared our first Bookmarks post of the year, which was my favorite one yet. This curated collection of my favorite bookish content online and in real life is meant to help you stay informed and inspired without all the doomscrolling on social media.
I feel that Iāve found my stride by adding my takes to each link, making it even more interesting for readers, in my humble opinion.
Lastly, I released a new podcast trailer to reflect the fact that episodes will now be focused more on the books on Gilmore Girls than the episodes.
And, at the end, I released my full Unofficial Guide to the Books on Gilmore Girlsā 168 printable PDF pages for paid subscribers, broken down by episode and personally verified by me, a project Iāve been working on since May 2023!
So, believe me when I say that other lists are just plain wrong, and this oneās for the people who really care about it, like me!
New paid subscribers will receive the Guide in their welcome email, and current paid subscribers can find it in the exclusive section of this post below.
