I started a new publication named Books Mixture. Here is my first article

https://open.substack.com/pub/booksmixture/p/how-to-deal-with-people-part-1-criticizing?r=2tl0x2&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

In this newsletter I will aim to chose a topic and goo deep into it from different books perspectives.

The topics I cover will include (but not limited to) psychology, cognitive science, personal development, communication and relationships.

Would really appreciate your inputs and engagement if you like the article 🙌

Interesting @whattoreadif. @Sonovelicious is a personal favourite – and not just because of the content. It's her heart!

I love this!! The GIF review of Rebecca absolutely made my day. I'll plug Julie Sternberg's newsletter which only comes out once a month and emulates Nick Hornby's Believer column by comparing books she bought that month with the ones she read: https://juliesternberg.substack.com/

These are great, thanks for the recommendations, and congrats on the 6k subscribers! I’d love to plug my new-ish newsletter, Infinity Inklings, which recommends books as well as other blogs, articles, and podcasts I’ve read on a weekly basis - and has a short reflection from me on a topic I’ve been thinking about recently.
