Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
Did you see the news? I’ve got my own newsletter now! It’s part of Pix Plus, our new ad-free bundle featuring four topic-focused newsletters for one price. I’ll be writing the books edition—Worth the Read—which truly feels like a dream.
From now through May 25, all Pix Plus newsletters are free to read. You can learn more here, and the first issue of Worth the Read is linked just below for you to check out.
I’ve got big plans for Worth the Read, and I want to make it something you'll genuinely enjoy. Hit reply and tell me what you’d like to see (what I should read next, who I should talk to, or anything else)!
Yours,
Genevieve

In this first issue, I’m sharing a bit about my background, including some of my favorite books I worked on while in the publishing industry. Spoiler alert: You probably haven’t read a single one of them.

Three of May’s Biggest Adaptations
The debate over books vs. adaptations is always fun—but honestly, these stories stand strong either way. Whether you end up watching or not, the original reads are absolutely worth your time. Get into them first (or after!) with ThriftBooks, where you can enjoy more stories for less.
Remarkably Bright Creatures
by Shelby Van Pelt
If you want something heartfelt, look no further than this story about an unlikely friendship between a grieving woman and an octopus. Academy Award winner Sally Field beautifully leads the film, while Alfred Molina voices everyone’s fave cephalopod.
Lord of the Flies
by William Golding
William Golding’s iconic novel is getting a fresh adaptation this month, reimagining the chilling story of a group of boys stranded on an island. If you haven’t read this one since you were in school, now’s the perfect time to revisit it!
Three Bags Full
by Leonie Swan
Leonie Swann’s cult-favorite mystery is headed to the big screen as The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Galitzine, and Emma Thompson. You’ll want to curl up with this clever whodunit (preferably while wrapped in a wool blanket).
