Hello and happy Wednesday!
What a week! I’ll be bopping around Disney next week to attend a giant pin trading event and partake in the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. I’m so stoked. I feel like my last vacation was to South Korea over a year ago.
Doesn’t it feel great to have a big thing to look forward to? (Even if it means the time crawls by.)
Any exciting plans on the horizon for you all?

Sarah: I’m going to be in conversation this week with Sara Raasch to celebrate the launch of The Entanglement of Rival Wizards! Friday, September 12 at Friends and Lovers in Alexandria, VA – the event might be sold out, but if you have a ticket, please come say hi to me. I’d be delighted to meet you.

From Jen: A friend of mine just introduced a project she’s been working on for the past few months: Spinsters Row. “Spinsters Row is a virtual town square that blends e-commerce, original content, community, and narrative world-building.”
The site as a whole is GORGEOUS and worth exploring. (As a reader of and even a one-time contributor to Cover Awe, I say this with my whole chest). BUT, there is a Spinster Archetype quiz that is well-written and so much fun. Definitely a fun link and one that would appeal to the SBTB readers!
Amanda: I can confirm that the site is very fun to explore!

These links were sent in by Ellen, who saw an IG reel about those serial soap operas on social media.
There’s also a corresponding article on the Washington Post.
I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of Chinese serial dramas, so this link came at a good time.

Looking for a new fall crochet project? The algorithm served me this video for 30+ projects!

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
for folks in ohio, cartoon crossroads columbus is coming up on the 18th through the 21st! i’ve gone for a couple years now and it’s always a good time – really delightful lineup of artists & graphic novel publishers this year (i’m especially excited to see erin roseberry, whose risograph comic ‘basilisk’ is already on my shelf).
I am in denial while I cling desperately to the last days of summer. Let me enjoy summer while it remains. I don’t want to hear about fall until September 22.
I’m getting “Blocked because of Malicious Activities” on the Spinsters’ Row link. Perhaps we have sent it too much traffic?
The vertical soap operas remind me a lot of Webtoons, which are also little soap operas in their own way. These are like – Webtoons come to life!
And I absolutely need to make that Celestial Sweater.

I don’t want to think about how much more than a year ago my last vacation was (and how much closer to home).

@book_reader_ea01sj71r4 Same! I’m wearing my summer clothes as long as I can.
