Shelf Check: a Library Comic collection now on Kickstarter
over 3 years ago – Mon, Apr 05, 2021 at 01:01:41 AM

Hey everyone,

In case you haven't seen it, I wanted to let you know about Library Comic's  Kickstarter for our first book, Shelf Check.

Chris Hallbeck, Willow Payne, and I are going to choose a few of our favorite comics, and then the rest will be voted on by backers.

Please have a look! As I write this, there are still rewards available at all pledge levels, including the Limited Artist Editions and the Kickstater Completist level.

New Kickstarter: Read Something Readers Advisory Cards
about 4 years ago – Fri, Aug 14, 2020 at 03:11:54 PM

Just wanted to make sure you're aware of my current Kickstarter -- it's for a deck of cards that can be used to inspire treasure hunts for books. The cards can also inspire competitive, bookish games. They're really fun, in large part thanks to Library Comic illustrator Willow Payne.

You can see more cards and other info here. And we're well on our way to the stretch goal, reusable library-themed masks for most pledge levels.

Best,

-Gene

If you answered your Backerkit survey before today, your pins and T-shirts are on their way. 

I've spent the last 5 days in my garage packing envelopes and buying postage and watching the second season of Fortitude (which I highly recommend). 

Now, off to celebrate Thanksgiving far away from Seattle's cold cold rain. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

-Gene
