Hi, there! Reading the Sunday edition of Booklist comes with perks—mainly that sometimes I go rogue and can’t keep my mouth shut about exciting news. (But if anyone asks, just say you heard it from a little birdie, okay?) |
You know all those surveys we sent out asking for your feedback on what you like—and don’t like—about Booklist? We took your responses seriously, and we’re making some exciting changes. Starting Tuesday, Booklist won’t just have a gorgeous new design… it’ll have a new name, too! |
We’re overhauling the look and feel of all our newsletters, anchoring them in the Pix brand. Our designer, Justina, has worked so hard on these updates, and I think you’ll love how beautiful and easy to read they are. |
Here’s what’s not changing: the weekly picks, games, and sections you love aren’t going anywhere. (If anything, we’ll be giving you more editorial.) I’ll still be behind the screen, highlighting books, adaptations, and news you care about. And, of course, everything will continue to be written by humans. |
I’m really excited about this refresh and hope you love it. If you have thoughts or feedback on what you see this week, just reply to those emails and let us know! |
Yours,
Genevieve

The Stack | Celebrate D.E.A.R. Day! |
It’s not a coincidence that today is both Beverly Cleary’s birthday and D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read) Day, since the celebration comes directly from Cleary’s Ramona Quimby books! |
To celebrate, all you have to do is read for 30 distraction-free minutes. If you’re stumped for what to read, check out these ultra-short picks. |
