A Note about our Shelf Awareness Partner Newsletter

We will be discontinuing our partnership this week, so please subscribe yourself directly here if you'd like to keep receiving it.

We love the great content but are finding that twice a week is just too much information for most of our readers. We hope you've enjoyed it but our plan is to focus more energies on our reactivated blog at

Cheers and thank you as always for supporting the cozy bookstores.
