Hello!
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s ahead as we roll toward the home stretch of Season 11. It’s going so fast! Thanks for all the ways you’ve been contributing to the conversation. It feels like our social media has been in full bloom the past few weeks, and we just love it. The more voices and ideas, the better!

While you have your calendar out, save the date—here are a few preliminary details about our upcoming summer ALSSI Live Event!
Tuesday, July 21
Time: TBA (eve)

We’re planning an evening of fun with plenty of time for you to catch up with old friends and/or make new ones (hint: you’ll get a chance to answer some of this season’s What Do You Say questions!) Watch this space for registration info.
Of course there will be cake.
We love our donors!
Whether it’s by subscribing to our Substack, setting up a recurring donation, or simply throwing a few bucks our way once in a while, we can’t thank you enough for thinking of us when deciding where to donate your hard-earned dollars.
Our first loyalty will always be to producing a podcast with the best listening experience we can provide. Remember, it’s because of your financial support that we have been able to keep ALSSI ad-free. We hope to continue!

Meanwhile …
It’s the First Anniversary of our book! 🎉🎉
Bunches of thanks to everyone who has supported us by purchasing a copy for yourself or to share.
If you’re feeling the pull to start a conversation with someone but haven’t known how to begin, we’ve heard from readers that this book can help open the door. (Looking at you, Mother’s Day!) In fact, if you have an online book group and want to discuss our book, we’d love to “attend” and take part in the discussion! We’re also willing to come in person if it’s super local to where we live. Just send us an email.

Speaking of books,
The next At Last She Read It book club is scheduled! The readers have spoken, and Lilith, by Nikki Marmery, was selected at the last meeting.
From Goodreads: “Lilith is the story of the first woman, who was expelled from Paradise for disobedience. In this retelling of the Hebrew myth that justified and explained woman's subjection to man, Lilith will have her revenge—however long it takes. In the Garden of Eden, at the beginning of time, an outrageous lie is born: that women are inferior.”
Please start reading now, and plan to join us!
