I enjoyed our conversation about books on Notes Kathryn and thank you for including me here 🩷

I too am a person who reads a magazine cover to cover and when I find a podcast, I want to listen to every episode from the beginning. I also find that when I am interested in a person’s Substack, I want to dive into their archives, from the beginning of course, to get a sense of who they are and the way they convey that through their writing. Why am I like this, I don’t know! 😂

I don't have any idea why I'm like this either. When I discover an author I like, I want to read every book from the first written to the last. Ditto musicians and their albums. And yet for digital reading, it just doesn't phase me. I've asked myself the why of all of this many times but all I've concluded is that it's what's true for me :-p

Thanks! I had done this Notes roundup weekly last year and then stopped for some time but realized that I was missing it. It really helps me engage much more deeply with people and their thoughts. <3 <3

Thanks for the shout out Kathryn. (I did notice that because I am not subscribed I cannot vote in your poll so the results may be somewhat skewed.) ❤️❤️❤️

Oh that’s interesting! I didn’t know that polls were limited to subscribers. How annoying.

I’m not sure if it’s always been, but that’s what I’m seeing today (in Safari.)

Hi Kathryn, Leyla Kazim conducted a poll at the end of last year, and most people voted that they do not want too many posts from writers because it is overwhelming for them. Based on that feedback, she reduced some of her regular columns. One column that she used to write every week is now being published every two weeks. I can relate to feeling overwhelmed when I can't keep up with all the fantastic writing writers' posts. Sometimes, I even feel inclined to unsubscribe if I receive too many posts. I couldn't find Leyla's post now, but maybe you can.
