Extra! Extra! Surprises Await!

…I have no idea where the newspaper theme for this post came from, but we’re rolling with it. XD

Okay. I wanted to start off this post with saying thank you.

I started this library of a blog almost three years ago, to post a few cheesy reviews of my favorite books—and had no idea what I was getting into.

When building the library, I never wanted it to be popular. I just wanted to serve the readers that might happen to stumble past these shelves.

And you all have been AMAZING readers—even though I rarely post a book review anymore. I’ve never actively tried to build a following, and yet the blog continues to grow. More readers have come across my packed shelves, and I can only hope that I have at some point been able to serve you, and bring a smile, with my posts.

And…well, I guess that brings me to the point of this blog post.

The library has grown!

As of two weeks ago, I have an official author newsletter!! *tosses confetti and sits for a moment, blinking in shock*

(Hey, look, I think I found where the newspaper theme came from.)

The special-edition, first newsletter goes out a week from today, and I would love it so much if all of you, my amazing readers, join in time to get it!

It’s got a bunch of fun stuff, and some secret audience-participation that will ONLY be in this first email, so please, don’t miss out!

Subscribe today**, so you can be welcomed in—and the software can fully upload you—before I send out the first newsletter!

**Today, as in, literally today or tomorrow. Not the “soon-ish” most todays on random adds mean. XD

And. Because my goal all along has been to serve you, my amazing readers. I have a gift for you if you sign up!

To tie back into the origins of this blog, I created a special, super-fancy guide to ten of my favorite clean and powerful YA fantasy novels. Ones that dare readers to dream. Ones that have you sobbing one minute, laughing the next. Stories that give you a thrill of wonder and hope.

And they all are clean. No language. No dark themes or explicit content. Almost no romance at all.

The list includes trope lists, and full content warnings for each novel, so you can know exactly which story is for you!

…wow. XD The young author who started this blog almost three years ago would have never believed I’m about to publish this post. I still can hardly believe it.

What are some of your favorite novels that dare you to dream? Do you agree that there are not enough clean and powerful fantasy stories out there?

And again, thank you all so much for being such amazing readers in this little library!
