Wow that is an incredible amount of reading and subscribing! Lucky writers. I know whenever I see your name pop up in my comments whatever you said is going to bring a smile to my face. I know I've said this before, but you're really a ray of sunshine. :)

๐Ÿ’— ๐Ÿ’— ๐Ÿ’— ๐Ÿ’— this so much, Sandra - isnโ€™t it crazy to see how our โ€˜stack statsโ€™ shape up (like the year in Spotify!), and SO interesting to see how all our reading/watching/liking etc. habits vary, and right down to the time of day (Iโ€™m a too-easily distracted morning reader to your afternoon one, and honestly, I need to work on that - and still I always feel so behind on my favourites - hence, reading this and replying now!!). And I couldnโ€™t be more honoured to get a mention in your summer reads ๐Ÿฅน - and alongside such incredible company, with Sarah and Beth! Thank you, thank you, so much for reading, sharing and all your encouragement - itโ€™s so wonderful to have connected here and discovered your writing because, RIGHT back at you, I love reading your words, and being inspired by Sandrapop whenever it lands in my inbox ๐Ÿ’–โœจ- HUGE hugs (and I am off to click on many of those links!!). Truly, so honoured. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Jenni, you are fabulous! If we lived in the same city, youโ€™d be my shopping partner and one of my โ€œladies that brunchโ€! The main reason I started Sandrapop was to connect with other women that want to talk about fun things โ€” and youโ€™re a perfect example! Always a pleasure.

๐Ÿคฃ Totally! Iโ€™ve got a system: I pick a day to dig into new posts and leave comments. I always hit my go-to newsletters first, then check out what my subscribers are writing. After that, I jump into Notes to discover new writers. Itโ€™s even better with a coffee in hand and a few hours to really soak it all in! Itโ€™s one of my favorite parts of the week!
