I am a new subscriber here, but I love this little catch up around your reasons for starting (and continuing) The Booktender, as well as the realisation that tending to your reading life helped you to see that other areas had become flatlined. I very much resonated with that.
Also, how much fun it was flicking through catalogues as a child!!
Welcome Kate! Yes, I don’t think I have done that since 1985 but I do remember flipping those pages, looking at all the things, and making up little stories in my head about those happy people. Now it annoys me to get them in the mail!
