you're invited to BOOKPRTY
Join me for book-based enthusiasm, essays, and introductions to the best women I know.
After yelling about books at my birthday party, I couldn't stop wanting more: more books, more yelling, more smart people who are just as enthusiastic about bread pudding as they are about Lauren Groff. I wanted, simply, more fun.
And, like a real adult, it took me only two days of Veruca Salt-ing to realize: I AM IN CHARGE HERE AND I KNOW HOW TO MAKE FUN.
And so, today I'm muppet-arms-excited to launch BOOKPRTY, a private party (so chic!) exclusively for paid subscribers of "a little laugh."
BOOKPRTY is my favorite parts of a party, all here on Substack, and you’re invited. Join me for book-based enthusiasm, essays, and introductions to the best women I know.
What BOOKPRTY is: Every quarter, I'll choose one of my favorite books, and we'll discuss it together here on Substack through a chat, an essay, and a live video event. You can read the book or not! You can join the live chats or skip them (January's topic is your #1 product recommendation—you'll be shocked to hear I have big opinions). You can jump into the comments with gossip you can't share anywhere else—this is a private party, after all. Basically, like any good party, you can choose your own adventure: lurk in the comments like you're hanging on the porch, or dance on the metaphorical counters by joining the discussion and maybe even winning party prizes (every party needs prizes! I said what I said!)
How to join: Become a paid subscriber for $5/month (real talk, that is less than I paid for a very bad cookie yesterday), and you're on the BOOKPRTY list. That's it—all paid subscribers are in. Please note: "a little laugh" will stay free!
Why you should join: Because I excel at finding the smartest, funniest, best people and getting them to talk joyfully about smart, funny, good things. And, real talk, because it is cheap and supporting an early-career writer is a way of saying, "I believe in you, and I want to say I was there at the beginning." (You are here at the beginning. This is the beginning, and I'm so excited to go places, like BOOKPRTY, with you.)
If you weren’t already, I hope you'll become a paid subscriber and join me at BOOKPRTY. Let's have some fun, shall we?
Xo, Kathleen
