I'd love your help deciding what clubs to explore next!
Leave a comment below with your favorite genres, sub-genres, reader identities, and wildcard club ideas. I'll be using your feedback to help shape future polls and decide which themes are the most popular with the community.
While I'd love to make a ticket for every genre and niche interest, that's unfortunately not possible in a single campaign. Not every suggestion will make it into this collection, but I'll be keeping a running list of ideas for future unlocks, future polls, and potentially even a Part 2 collection down the road.
One thing to keep in mind is that very niche sub-genres and highly specific themes are less likely to make the cut. In order to fund new designs, I need to focus on clubs that appeal to a broader audience and have enough interest to support production costs.
So tell me: what clubs are missing from the Reader's Club? 📚🎟️
Hey everyone! So thankful that you are joining me for this project.

📖 What Are You Reading Discussion
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! Click here!
Tell us:
What are you reading right now?
What's the best book you've read this year?
Which upcoming release are you most excited about?
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!
💻 A Small Design Update
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.
✨ Meet Me at Magic & Meet Cutes
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. 💜
Just stopping by with a quick shipping and manufacturing update for all three active projects! I'm sorry if you receive this email three times, but I'm posting this to all three project update pages, and that sends an email for each one.
Estimated Ship Start Dates
Firmly Grasp It: Mid August
Secret Night Market: Mid August
Admit One: Late August to Early September (currently well ahead of schedule.)
Photos - I've posted some photos the manufacturers have sent me. They are photos from across the three projects.
Firmly Grasp It
The remade pins and enamel pieces for this project have finally been completed by the factory, and I'm told they'll be shipping to me on Friday. Assuming everything stays on schedule, they should arrive sometime next week.
I'll be in Nashville for a convention next week, so I may or may not be home when they arrive. As soon as I get back, I'll immediately begin processing the shipment, performing quality checks, and assembling grips so they can begin shipping out.
Secret Night Market
The remaining Night Market pins are also expected to arrive on Friday alongside the remade Firmly Grasp It pieces.
Since Firmly Grasp It has just under 300 backers, I expect shipping for that project to take about 3–4 days once it begins. As soon as those orders are finished, I'll move directly into shipping Secret Night Market. That project should take approximately one week to ship.
Combined Shipping
I haven't decided yet whether I'll combine packages for backers who pledged for both projects. While combining shipments sounds simple, each project contains more than 50+ different SKUs, and organizing combined orders adds a significant amount of complexity when I'm packing every order by myself.
Unfortunately, it also doesn't really save on postage anymore.
On July 12, USPS changed its Ground Advantage pricing. Instead of charging based on ounce ranges, all packages under one pound now fall under the same price tier. Since enamel pin orders are usually well under one pound, many of those lighter packages now cost the same to ship as a full one-pound package. As a result, shipping costs have increased noticeably for many small businesses.
In 2026 alone, USPS has implemented three separate shipping price increases and policy changes, significantly increasing shipping costs for small businesses.
Admit One
This project is currently way ahead of schedule.
Right now I'm estimating shipping will begin in late August or early September, which is significantly earlier than the original estimate of late October through early November. Apparently this is what happens when your doctor actually listens to you, prescribes life-changing ADHD medication, and suddenly your productivity goes through the roof. 😅
Thank You!
And finally, I just want to reiterate how incredibly grateful I am for everyone's patience and understanding throughout all of the setbacks and timeline changes with Firmly Grasp It and The Secret Night Market.
Unexpected manufacturing issues and shipping delays can be incredibly overwhelming and stressful, especially when you're a small business owner wearing every hat and handling every part of the business yourself.
Thank you for continuing to support my small business through all of the bumps in the road. I truly can't wait to get these projects into your hands, and I'm so excited for you to finally see everything in person. ❤️
