It's been a wild first 6 hours and y'all have gone wild and unlocked it all. check out everything unlocked!! I have one more achievement to unlock.. and that's a free sticker. Trivia is going great. Scroll down for more info. When you backed the project, It asked you to join a team. If you navigated away without joining a team, that's ok. Just go to my project and click "manage my pledge" and scroll up to choose your team.
Once you're on a team, click the tab that says Trivia. then you can scroll along to answer questions. Each question will stay open for 1-2 days so you'll want to check back. They questions will tell you how long they have left before they close on them. Some will be closing soon! The entire winning team will win a free mini pin. So make sure to play! Im adding a new trivia question now, so have fun!
Also don't forget that interacting on the page gives you points! in the community tab you can see the leaderboard. At the end of the project, the person with at the top will get a $50 credit toward this project in the survey.
WOW! What a successful first day! We completely met all unlockable goals, PLUS two additional designs from series voted by you guys!
I have tallied up the votes from the previous discussion and have put the results below.
The top choice from this poll will be the next series turned into a pin. If you are bummed your choice didn't win, there is still a chance! The top 2 series will join the next poll to get another chance at being chosen.
I wanted to pop in with a very quick update to let everyone know that I will be locking addresses on June 17th! ❗❗
Now is the time to double check the shipping address details on your surveys, as I'll be starting the process of getting your rewards to you asap!
If you are planning to move within the next 30 days, please email me at [email protected] so I can put a hold on your order until you are settled with your new shipping address.
I can't believe it, but all of the pins arrived a few days ago. I was expecting to have to wait much longer.
Everything looks gorgeous on first glance. From what I can tell so far, the manufacturers knocked these out of the park, and they are even nicer in person. If I notice widespread issues that will affect fulfillment, I will let you know.
However, on that note, the Ms. Foxglove dangling pin will be remade. Unfortunately, her colors are not what I wanted😭 Her hair is a bit too pink and you can't even see the green of the monster slime and her lapel pin. I've already been in touch with the factory, and I've got the ball rolling on remakes. Other than the wonky color, the quality of the pin is very nice.

If you like this version of her, I'm happy to send her to you. I don't expect that will be many folks, but if that's you, let me know!
Please note, it's very possible folks receiving the Ms. Foxglove pin will have their orders delayed. But I'm still waiting on the bulk order stickers, the backing cards, AND I still need to grade and card every pin—and then fulfillment will begin, which could also be a lengthy process. So your order may not be all that delayed after all lol.
Lots and Lots of Pin Photos
Dangling Pins The delicate details look amazing, especially on the little bottles. I do wish I made the bottles a tiny bit bigger, but they are so, so cute. Something I'll keep in mind in the future.

What's Next
Prints are already here, and bulk order stickers are on the way. My sticker manu said they are currently short-staffed, so it's taking a bit longer than usual. I confirmed the proofs for the backing cards last week, and they're at the printer now.
I'm going to card all pins before charging credit cards for shipping/add-ons. If you have any questions about your order or need changes made, let me know at [email protected]. If you want to change your pin or add-on selections, I should be able to accommodate you, but some pins have less extras than others, due to less demand.
You still have the ability to update your address in your survey.
Even with the Foxglove reprint, we're still on track for a July/August fulfillment. I'm actually hopeful these will begin shipping a bit earlier than scheduled, but I have SO many pins to organize, I don't want to make promises.
Note to self: don't make so many designs in the future... 🤣😳
This is only my second pin campaign, so thank you so much for the support and patience, especially with the bumps in the road. I can't wait to ship these out to you folks. 🖤🦇
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.
If you have a question, pop it into this thread.
There is a lot going on, so feel free to drop your questions here or send me an email. [email protected]. I anticipate a lot of comments and activity for this project because of the trivia and also the leader board. So be patient with me because I might not see your message. I appreciate you so so much, as always!! - XO Stina

🛍️ Etsy Discount Reminder
Don't forget that the Etsy discount code is still available! If you've been eyeing anything in my shop, be sure to take advantage of the code before it expires. It's a great way to pick up a few reader goodies while supporting the campaign. Use code ADMITONE to receive 40% off orders of $25 or more in my Etsy shop throughout the campaign.
📖 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. 💜
