Q: What is your preferred way to read a book? Physical, audio, or digital?Ī: I’d say my top choice for reading is by listening to audiobooks as I get a headache if I try to visually read for too long. Not to mention, I’m a naturally inquisitive person who’s formative years took place before the age of Google - books were the fastest way for me to obtain information!Ī: I’m not in any official book clubs currently, but I have joined a couple of those monthly Amazon Kindle “clubs” and try to read the choices if they sound interesting. I found that as I got older and my physical issues held me back from keeping up with my peers, reading became an escape for me. It wasn’t long before I longed to learn how to read for myself, and once I did, I started inhaling books as fast as I could borrow them. She would pretty much read to me as much as I asked her to, but of course she couldn’t spend all her time doing it and taking care of her kids. Visits to the library, and specifically the book mobile, were something that I most looked forward to. I spent most of my time with my mom before I started school, and she would always plan activities that were more mentally stimulating than physically so that it wouldn’t tax my body too much. I was born with a hip issue that led to a lot of physical pain in my early years. Q: Hi Brit! Tell us a little bit about yourself and what got you into reading.Ī: Some of my earliest memories revolve around books and reading. Brit lives here in Santa Barbara and I’m so happy to feature her in this space. She runs the cutest Etsy shop, where she sells bookish enamel pins and stickers as well as some non-bookish things. That, my friends, is a commendable feat, especially considering how many books she reads a year (more on that below)! Brit is currently deep in her romance era, but also enjoys thrillers, true crime, police procedurals, and action/adventure. Something that caught my eye when reading her submission is that Brit rarely DNFs (does not finish) books. Also please note that there is a question where I ask if you work with books, if you don’t that is totally fine! And in fact I encourage those who don’t work with books to fill out the form - that is the whole point of this: to get to know our community of readers a bit better!īrit is one of those people who can read multiple books at once - an ability that I wish I had! She often has 3 or 4 books going at a time and bounces around depending on what she feels like reading in that moment. I’ve been receiving great feedback on this series and I know this next one won’t disappoint!Ī bit of housekeeping: If you would like to be featured in an upcoming reader spotlight, please fill out this form. For today’s newsletter we have another reader spotlight. (If you have recs send them my way ASAP!) I hope to have some new reads under my belt for the next installment of All Booked. I am in a serious reading rut that I’m slowly climbing my way out of it. I’m going to be honest with you all, I am still not reading much. Sign up for All Booked, our bi-monthly newsletter exclusively for book lovers. Hope this makes sense.The original version of this newsletter was sent out on Tuesday, April 9. Thus, with each letter separate when I apply the Stencil Bridge it won't affect the others because they're different, unselected shapes. So, for each letter you would need to reselect the internal shapes with the external and then apply Merge. At this point, the internal part of each of those letters is separate from the external and you can't stencil them. I would first try Object>Ungroup to see if that makes the 3 letters individually selectable. For example, let's say I have the word 'Bob' that I'm stenciling. Then apply Object>Merge to any shapes that need the internal part re-attached. Another thing you can do is apply Object>Break Apart to your design. I actually don't think this will solve the issue because I haven't seen this listed as a bug by anyone until now. I think the current version is 5.019 but I also haven't checked in a week or two so it could be past that now. Even what it says at the web site isn't usually correct. not sure why but the ONLY way to actually know you're up to date is to go to the web site link below and just update. The Check for Updates function has never worked.

Sure cuts a lot version 2 etsy
