Dr. Nips has a prescription for you, and that prescription is…our newsletter!
You can sign up for the SBTB Daily Digest – our once-a-day (hence: daily) newsletter that emails the newest content every day (see? daily!) around 12pm ET. So if Dr. Nips is appearing in another round of Cover Snark, you won’t miss a nip, I mean, I thing.
I set up the SBTB Daily so that you receive the newest content, and you get the entire post – no excerpts. This is contrary to a LOT of advice about RSS newsletters, let me tell you. The theory, I believe, is that a newsletter should drive traffic back to the site, so an excerpt should tempt readers to head over to the HQ for the rest of the mayhem.
Now, I do like when you visit, and I love that our traffic increases month-to-month (that helps keep us in business), but I also want subscribers to, you know, get the SBTB content they’re looking for. So if you subscribe, you get the entirety of our newest content, including that day’s Books on Sale. In fact, we time the Books on Sale posts so that they’re at the top of the newsletter.
Alas, the comments are not included. That means that if you want to talk with folks, add your opinion, discuss a review or post, solve a HaBO, or generally type words, you have to swing on by the Hot Pink Palace. Don’t worry – we’ll be here with Dr. Nips (or is it Drs. Nips at this point?) awaiting your arrival.
If you’d like to make sure you don’t miss a review, a cover snark, a Help a Bitch Out, Rec Leagues, giveaways or any of the other silliness and critical discussion around here, you can sign up for the SBTB Daily Digest right here.
I LOVE the SBTB newsletters! It’s the one newsletter I read from top to bottom all the time 🙂
This makes me so happy to read – thank you, Anon!!
I also like the newsletters though I usually only skim. That’s because 1) the first non-email site I look at every evening is SBTB (and have for at least 10 years), 2) I want to see the book covers that I can no longer see when I am directly on the site (this started happening a few months ago and I, and at least one other reader, commented on it at the time), and 3) just in case there’s a special sale I want to get in on before my normal visit-the-site-in-the-evening time. But I value the comments almost as much as the content so I do always end up here on the site.
