# Welcome! Hi, my wonderful friends! I am so excited to have you on my Bindery! If you aren't familiar with the platform, think of a blog + Patreon, but for all things bookish. In addition to the regular stuff I post on my YouTube and Instagram, this page will be full of book reviews, recommendations, and general life stuff. There will ALWAYS be a free tier, so everyone that wants to can join, but The Team tier will get some extras along the way! --- ## Update to Bindery My amazing Bindery team, I am so incredibly grateful for all the support you’ve given me since I started this page. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. That said, I am not doing what I should be here on Bindery. You are paying me $5/month, and in return, I’m not giving you anything. Despite my best intentions at the beginning, I just don’t have the time to give what I should over here. That said, I’m going to be discontinuing paid memberships. I have to reach out to Bindery to get this taken care of, and I actually don’t know if they’ll allow me to keep the page running if I don’t have a paid tier, so I’ll let you all know soon if that’s the case. In the meantime, please feel free to downgrade your membership. I feel horrible that I took this long to do this. I hope you all know I never intended to take advantage of your generosity, and I sincerely apologize if you feel scammed in any way. Nothing else will be changing (unless Bindery makes me), but I just feel this is the best path forward. I love you all and again, I’m so grateful for all of you being in my life. --- ## May Book Club Pick! Jane and Dan at the End of the World is our winner for May!
