an important poll question, the tumblr girl bedroom, why does every famous woman have a bookclub, and more
Hello.
A short and sweet Sunday letter today. I’m working on a spring wishlist and spring activity list for you and I’ll be sending that out this week since Tuesday is the first day of spring. Can you believe it?
Also… a very important poll question for you to help shape these newsletters moving forward. I’ve mentioned previously how torn I feel about continuing to create content in a world where everything feels so goddamn saturated. I love sharing recommendations for films, and books, and things I’m loving. I love sharing little wishlists, random recipes, seasonally appropriate activities and buck list ideas- things that are a little more personal. And I enjoy sharing articles because I read a lot everyday and it’s fun to curate a list of interesting finds on the internet, but I also know there are a lot of other newsletters that do this, too. But since I’ve been writing letters to you that are comprised of a little of everything I’ve listed above, I’d love to know if you have a preference/ thought/ opinion on content you’re enjoying the most.
