Hi paid members!

Just a reminder that this is the final week to help populate our monthly newsletter with all your cozy, creative joy. This month’s theme is: Things Worth Lingering Over.

With that in mind, if you’d like to add something to our newsletter this month, here’s a list of what I’d love to include photos, a piece of writing, book recs, recipes, art, anything that sparks your imagination and suits the prompt. Here are some examples:

Ready to submit? CLICK HERE to send in your photo, piece of writing, book rec, drawing, etc. by June 26th and I’ll do my best to include it.

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.

  1. Rate & review.

Leave a rating or review on Storygraph and/or Goodreads, Amazon, etc. once you've finished. Thoughtful, honest reviews help readers decide whether a book is right for them.

  1. 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?

Thank you again for being part of this journey. It means more than I can possibly say. 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!
