And now a brief chat with a recent Sustaining Member, Bonnie S.
Bonnie, when did you start reading TMN? I can't remember but now I can't live without it.
Yikes! How did you find us? I probably first came across TMN through the Tournament of Books. I'm an avid reader. [The Headlines newsletter is] the first email I open each morning because I get the widest variety of things to read. Unfortunately it often sends me down rabbit holes of stories and makes me late for me day! When I realized my dependence on the list each morning, I decided to give my financial support.
Fabulous. Thank you, Bonnie!
Enormous thanks to all of our supporters. If you're also an addict, or simply an avid reader of this newsletter, please consider becoming a Sustaining Member or making a one-time donation.
