Hello friends, and happy October! I hope your weekend has been gentle so far and the Sunday scaries aren't lingering for you. I wanted to write to you today to discuss our Quarter 4 Book Club Pick and share with you the chapter break down for the entire quarter - if you aren't on the Not A Phase Books Discord server, you may have missed the discussion we had yesterday. If you're nosey like I am (lol) head on over there to join in on the discussions in real time.

I proposed several options for a loose reading guide and we all decided that breaking the book up into chapters for each week of Quarter 4 was easier. I will share the graphic of the chapter breakdown here:

I made the background color of the graphic to match the cover of To Our Untamed Core, but if you need the background white so it's easier to read the text, please let me know, and I will also create one of those, too! Please feel free to save this graphic for your own usage if you would like to keep up. We will be using spoiler free chats in the Discord channel throughout the duration of Quarter 4, and the last week of December, we'll have a spoilery chat recap!

In addition to this breakdown, we will also be speaking with Sonido Reyes Friday November 6th, from 6-7pm CST. Details are here:

You don't need to be a paid subscriber to attend these zooms, you just need to be a Not A Phase Books subscriber. I will post the event details in Discord, and share the zoom information here as well once we get a little closer to the date of the chat. If you'd like me to ask Sonido any questions, please feel free to hop into Discord in the Q4 channel and let me know, OR, let me know down below in a comment.

I'm also looking ahead to 2027 Beyond The Rainbow chats and our Quarterly Book Club Reads!! (I'm a planner, and need to know things.) Are there any LGBTQIA+ authors you'd like me to host next year? Any books you'd like us to prioritize for book club picks? Also feel free to hop into Discord and let me know, or in the comments below!

I hope you all have such an amazing week ahead!

Collaborators - I will see you Tuesday for our Exclusive newsletter! Everyone, I will see you Thursday for Trans Joy Thursday!

With all my trans joy,

Sawyer Cole
