so there is a book festival nearby(ish) this Saturday and I want to go for the vibes but I guess it’s going to depend on how the roads are looking. all the reports are that it’s going to flood really bad later this week

hmm I was wondering how much these books would go for after people got them and started selling the ones they didn’t want (since the kickstarter had people locked into having to buy all 3)

from the JQ (Julia Quinn) Editions kickstarter

there’s 6 listings on mercari with one sold of An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole for $25.66 before shipping. the others are listed between $29 and $50. The Last Lady B by Eloisa James is listed for $27-$29.

people who aren’t in the book community at all acting absolutely outraged GR is deleting their reviews not realizing they were looking super sus with brand new accounts created simply to rate a book 1 star. also some people were commenting and harassing anyone who did rate it 4 or 5 stars.

playing with the Page & Wick epic fantasy waitlist because I just want to be ready when the Q2 book invite and art reveals rolls around. BUT I signed up for the waitlist less than 2 weeks ago (Sept 18) and they’ve already sent out the invite (Sept 29) for Q1 there’s basically no waitlist at all.

have y’all been talking about the NHL ESPN article here yet where they said they want to start marketing aggressively with booktok how about they start first with addressing the elephant in the room with who they’re signing to their teams…?

"People fall for people. That emotive connection is really, really important," Sean Eggert, the NHL's new senior executive vice president and chief marketing officer, told ESPN. "Every player is a new way to reach a new fan."

Eggert said the success of hockey-centric shows
"Heated Rivalry" and "Off Campus" reinforced the value of showing a more human side of hockey players.

The league also sees opportunity in who is watching. ESPN's average female audience during the 2026 playoffs jumped 164% from 2025.

"We are acting with more intention for sure," said Eggert, who joined the NHL in May after seven years at Under Armour. "This is not a spray and pray. This is being a little bit more segmented and making sure that our messaging is at the right time for the right consumer."

That has taken the NHL into some less traditional spaces. League executives told ESPN they plan to lean "aggressively" into BookTok, including working with authors, illustrators and creators already active in hockey's growing romance community.
