Hi, all! It’s been a while since I posted here—but I haven’t forgotten you! And I should be back to writing my Substack stories by next week. In the meantime, I wanted to share Book Monsters with you. :)
What I’m Up To
Bel (my 14-year-old daughter) and I put together her very first crowdfunding campaign for her art. I'd appreciate it more than I can say if you checked out these (SO CUTE) bookish pins!
How the Campaign Works
You choose how many pins you want, and then at the end of the campaign, you choose which pins you want from the ones that “unlocked” during the campaign.
This campaign started with a single Book Monster: Take Me to Your Readers, the alien book that will abduct you into its world! Take Me to Your Readers unlocked in the first 24 hours.
The second pin, Shifter Books Bite—the cat-shifter book with evil plans to consume you—is also now unlocked.
The next two pins will unlock at the following pledge amounts:
$1300: Bookula - The vampire book that will suck you in!
$1700: Rest in Pages - A ghost book that haunts you forever!
And if our collaboration partner’s campaign, Vulpinal Seasons, funds (it’s SO CLOSE!), everyone who backs at a pin-level or higher automatically get two free pins—the Reading is Foxy pin that I’ll ship and the Reading Galaxy Kitsune pin.
Also, we have some free bookish goodies for everyone who backs the campaign by getting at least one pin. Here’s this week’s:
Our Campaign So Far
We have unlocked the first and second Book Monsters pins and are well on our way to unlocking the third one, Bookula!
If you want to be sure you can get the pin you want, now's the time to make your pledge!
A Bookish Giveaway!
We have also set up a bookish merch giveaway to help you (and let's be honest again...maybe bribe you just a little...) to share the campaign to all your social media accounts--and to any other book nerd friends you might have.
To enter to win that Magic Book giveaway, just click here (or on any of the other links in this paragraph or the last one! :)
Here’s a little more about the giveaway:
Enter to Win a Magic Books Merch gift basket, including a Magic Spells journal and pen, a book-shaped silver necklace and earrings, bookmarks, book-themed stickers, and more!
After you enter, you can share with friends. For any friend you refer, you get three additional bonus entries.
I’d be grateful if you could enter and share. Here's the link again!
Finally, head on over to our new Stretch Goals Poll--help us decide which stretch goal pin we should aim for first: Were Book or Wicked Fairy Book Mother! :)
And while you’re there, grab a Book Monsters Pin from Bel. :)
Have a fabulous day, and I’ll see you again soon!
