Hi Celestial friends!

Two quick updates for you all today.

First, our April book club (Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko) officially kicks off today! The forums are up and running so you can discuss with spoilers as you finish each part. I love this book and I can't wait to see what you all think.

Second, our next readathon starts on Friday! This is a Fri/Sat/Sun readathon where you join for as much as you can and read as much as you can. It's fun and casual and text-based.

Both of these community events take place in our Discord, so make sure you've joined () if you haven't already. :)

Hi friends,

I had SUCH a fun time chatting with Aubrei, Naomi, Natalie, and everyone who joined us for our Women in Horror chat.

Thank you so much to the Celestial friends who stopped by, but if you missed it, I don't want you to miss out! Natalie (superstar notetaker that she is) jotted down all the books mentioned, and we also recorded the Zoom.
