Hey everyone!

I know it's been a little quiet from me over the last few days, but rest assured I'm still here and keeping a close eye on the campaign. I've spent the last few days preparing for an upcoming event, so I've been a bit offline while getting everything ready.

If you haven't already, please take a moment to vote in the open polls for the next designs. All of the designs selected through the polls will be revealed next week!

The first subgenre poll has officially closed, and the winner is Monster Romance Book Club. However, Cozy Fantasy Book Club came in almost tied, so I've decided to make both designs.

In the polls that are still open, Mystery & Thriller Book Club is currently leading the Core Genre category. Meanwhile, Never-Ending TBR Club is in the lead for Reader Identity with 42% of the vote.

I can definitely relate to that one—my TBR only seems to get longer. Somehow every time I finish a book, several more end up on the list, or on my TBR cart. 📚👀

Thank you all for continuing to vote, comment, and share your ideas. I love seeing which concepts resonate most with everyone, and I can't wait to reveal the next round of designs next week!

One more thing: I've decided to add a 500 Backer Community Reward to the campaign! I haven't decided exactly what the reward will be yet, but if we reach 500 backers, every qualifying pledge will receive this bonus item for free. I'll share more details once I've settled on the reward, but I wanted to give everyone something extra to work toward as we continue unlocking new designs together.

Hi everyone!

We're only a two days into the campaign and I'm blown away by the response so far. Thank you for helping make Admit One such a strong start! 🎉 Thanks to your support, we've already welcomed over 350+ members to the Reader's Club!

Just a quick reminder that there are only 4 hours left to qualify for the free Early Bird sticker reward. If you've been thinking about joining the Reader's Club, now's the perfect time to grab your favorite tickets and claim the bonus sticker before the offer expires.

I've also added two new polls for backers:

📚 Core Genre Poll

We're down to the final spot in the Core Genres category, and I need your help deciding which genre gets the last ticket.

🌈 Reader Identity Poll

Help decide which reader identity should join the collection next!

If you'd like to help shape the future of the Reader's Club, be sure to cast your votes.

Don't forget that the Etsy discount code is still available! If you've been eyeing anything in my shop, be sure to take advantage of the code before it expires. It's a great way to pick up a few reader goodies while supporting the campaign. Use code ADMITONE to receive 40% off orders of $25 or more in my Etsy shop throughout the campaign.

One of my favorite parts of any bookish community is hearing what everyone is currently reading. If you're looking for your next read, want to gush about a recent favorite, or just want to add a few more books to everyone else's TBR, head over to the Discussion tab and join the conversation!

Tell us:

I'd love to see what everyone is reading, and I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for recommendations!

Here's my current rotation!

I've spent the past several days doing a lot of computer work between campaign prep, updates, design work, and general business tasks. Unfortunately, my wrists and forearms have started letting me know they're not thrilled about it.

I'm taking a few days to rest and recover my wrists before diving back into drawing. The good news is that this won't affect the campaign, and I'll be back to sharing new ticket designs in just a few days.

In the meantime, keep the comments, suggestions, and poll votes coming. I'm keeping a running list of your ideas for future polls, future unlocks, and possibly even a Part 2 collection down the road.

If you're local to the Raleigh area, I'll be vending at Magic & Meet Cutes hosted by Bright Side Books & Wine this Saturday, June 13th!

The vendor market is open to the public, so you're welcome to stop by and shop even if you don't have a ticket to the main event. I'll have a variety of Snarky Co. products available, and I'd love the opportunity to meet fellow readers, talk books, and hear which Reader's Club tickets you're most excited about.

As always, thank you for being here and helping build the Reader's Club one ticket at a time. 💜

Happy Reading,

Liz

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you so much for being here!

When I first came up with the idea for Admit One, I thought it would be a fun way to celebrate all the different kinds of readers, from Fantasy lovers and Romance readers to Cozy Readers, Audiobook listeners, and everyone in between. Seeing so many of you excited about the project already has been amazing, and I'm incredibly grateful for your support.

Over the next two weeks, I'll be sharing campaign updates and adding new tickets and designs throughout the campaign. I don't know exactly how many new designs will be added yet, but there will be at least three! I'll also be keeping an eye on your comments and feedback as we decide which clubs might deserve a spot in future collections. As much as I'd love to include every genre, subgenre, and reader identity, there are simply too many to fit into one collection, so your suggestions will help shape what comes next. Please drop your suggestions in the community discussion!

I'd love to know: If you could add any genre, subgenre, or reader identity to the Reader's Club, what would it be? Feel free to drop your suggestions in the community discussion board for this topic - click here!

As a small thank-you for supporting the campaign, all backers and project followers can use code ADMITONE to receive 40% off orders of $25 or more in my Etsy shop throughout the campaign. If you've had your eye on something in the shop, now's a great time to grab it! I  also recently restocked a few favorites, including The Black and Gold Reader Pin, which now comes in silver and black too, the Play Stupid Games pin, and the Bookish Girlie and Slut for Smut cake pins.

Thank you again for helping bring this project to life. It truly means a lot to me, and I'm excited to spend the next few weeks celebrating books with all of you.

Happy Reading,

Liz 💜
