The reading letter

Twice a week, a few pieces from the library, chosen from the subjects you say you care about. It is free, there is nothing to buy in it, and leaving takes one click.

What actually arrives

Midweek: three pieces, chosen from your themes. When those run out it moves outward to work that neighbours them, and it never sends you the same piece twice.

Weekend: one piece, with room around it. Something longer, for a morning where you are not being asked for anything.

Nothing else. No offers, no prices, no availability, no invitation to book. If that ever changes you will be told in the letter before it does.

The themes you can choose from

“Everything here” is switched on when you arrive, and it means what it says: the whole library, in the order the letter judges best for you. It is a perfectly good answer and plenty of readers leave it alone. Choose any of the themes below and it switches off, the letter starts inside what you picked, and it widens outward from there once that ground is covered.

• Desire, and what it runs on
• Marriage, and living beside someone
• The body, and what nobody explained
• Japan: the rules nobody wrote down
• Law, money, and what you are owed
• Being alone, chosen or not
• Rest, depletion, and the second shift
• Consent, boundaries, and who decides
• Motherhood, and the person underneath it
• Tantra, and what it actually is
• Film, books, other people’s lives
• The world elsewhere

What we do not do

We do not track whether you open it. There is no pixel and no click wrapper, so there is no open rate and there never will be one. We would rather not know.

We do not collect a name, a profile, or anything beyond an address, a language and the themes you picked.

We do not sell, share or rent the list. It is not a business asset and it will never be treated as one.

We do not add anybody. A subscription is only real once you open the confirmation link, which is why one is sent.

If it is too much

Every letter carries a link to halve it to once a week, next to the one that stops it entirely. Wanting less is not the same as wanting none, and the letter should not make you choose between them.
