It's my birthday today!

Want to join the party?

Thank you for an incredible year!

It hasn’t yet been a year since I merged my previous substacks into Book Alchemy, but I feel like celebrating, anyway.

For everyone who has commented, shared, subscribed, and listened to The Secret Library and Murder Diaries, thank you.

Since I’m cutting class today, reading books, swimming, and steaming in a sauna, I’m skipping regular Friday content for the day. Murder Diaries will return next week, and in just a few days I’ll have another book giveaway to announce. I cannot wait to share.

In the meantime, here’s what would mean the world to me today:

Would you please share Book Alchemy with someone you think would enjoy it?
I’ll make it really easy for you here:

Other things to share, if you’re feeling inspired:

• My books are all available here

• The Secret Library Podcast is all here, and this page is the best one to share so people can search by topic.

• Finally, if you aren’t yet a paid subscriber… there are some added bonuses to joining that I’ll be announcing in September. Join that party here:
  

Above all, thank you for making this such a special place to be online. Recent conversations about books we’ve loved, stationery obsessions, and our writing selves as characters have delighted me and I can’t wait for more.

Let’s keep making this place more and more joyful and cozy together.

Here’s to another year around the sun, which I’m grateful I got to spend part of with you.

Big hugs from here.

xx,
Caroline
