The snail mail is too good to resist. I can't wait! I found that plant video so mesmerizing. I will have to return to it to watch more. And I love the photos from your garden! We didn't get to do our vegetable garden this year, so I'm living vicariously.

Oh my goodness, this is so lush!!! I love this idea. If I sign up from the uk will the pledge even cover the postage though?

Came here to ask a similar thing. Love the idea, however I'm in New Zealand so I feel like I'll end up costing money rather than supporting 😅

No pressure to pledge! But I’ve tweaked the tiers so $3 pledges come bundled every 3 months instead of monthly. It feels like a good solution to the international shipping conundrum because I can mail 3 letters for a single stamp. 📫💫

I remember mucking about with paper, Lego and a hole punch when I was a wee bairn about 50years ago. What d’ya know, Lego did it too!

Ooo, looking forward to reading this! I grew up with pen pals and then transitioned to email without realizing what I was missing. 💫

Re-reading Stormlight Archive! I took a break after book 3, but getting back to book (3.5 and) 4 has been on my mind. Tracking through your re-read with an eye to the writing is a great approach. I really enjoyed listening to a weekly podcast of two guys reading and discussing the books when I read the first two. It was a wonderful and layered experience of reading and revisiting.

Yes! I love hearing people talk deeply about books! For this reread I’m reading each character’s arc starting (apparently this is how Brandon writes them) starting with Kaladin’s. I love all the POVs, but there is something nice about following Kal’s story straight through.

I love the idea of handwritten letters! I’m a big fan of sending and receiving handwritten letters. There’s something very special about putting pen to paper…

There is! I grew up with pen pals and we didn’t realize what we were missing out on when we traded tangibility for speed of delivery.
