Cozy Reads for Your Pride Month TBR! 🌈

Hello my friend, and happy Pride! 💖 Today I'm sharing a few of my favorite cozy queer stories, as well as one or two that have been recommended to me. I hope this list finds you well and I can't wait to hear what YOU have been reading this month!

My friend, I can hardly believe I'm writing this, but Twig's Traveling Tomes is finally in your hands!**

Before anything else, thank you. Truly. This book exists because so many of you believed in myself and Gryffin long before Twigs had a cover or pub date. Your support helps make moments like this possible, and I am so grateful that you get to be among the very first readers to step through the door of Louella's magical bookshop.

Now comes the fun part: it's time to read it. My wish is that you curl up somewhere cozy, make something delicious and warm, and allow yourself to be overtaken Gryffin's whimsical world. I am so excited for you to meet these characters and experience all the romance and questing and BANTER! I hope it makes you laugh and smile, and maybe even feel comforted.

But what happens after they all live happily ever after? Here's a few ways to support the launch as we inch closer to September...

  1. Share it on socials. If you enjoy Twigs, one of the biggest ways you can help is by talking about it. Share your reading updates, favorite tropes or scenes, cozy reading setups, or reviews on social media. If you're comfy, feel free to tag myself, Bindery, and Gryffin so we can repost and celebrate alongside you!
    If you'd rather wait until release day, that's helpful too! The official release date is September 8th, and we'd love to see the internet filled with Twig's excitement that day. Whether you post now, on release day, or both, every share helps more readers discover the book.

  2. Rate & review.
    Another incredibly helpful thing you can do is leave a rating or review on Storygraph and/or Goodreads, Amazon, etc. once you've finished. And I mean this sincerely: please be honest. Thoughtful, honest reviews are what help readers decide whether a book is right for them. We want your genuine experience with Twigs, because your feedback matters deeply to us and to the cozy community.

  3. Share it with a friend!
    If you finish the book and find yourself wanting to celebrate it even more, why not preorder a copy for a friend who might love it, too? Another great way to spread the word is stopping by (or calling) your local independent bookstore and ask them to carry it. The more buzz, the more accessible the book becomes to cozy readers, which is always the goal!

Thank you again for being part of this journey. It means more than I can possibly say to myself and Gryffin. We have SO MUCH to celebrate ahead! The audiobook narrators are currently being chosen, we're setting up some book store signings...it's going to be a gorgeous fall!

I hope you enjoy your time in Louella's world, and I cannot wait to hear what you think when you return from your travels!

With so much gratitude and love, Meg
