Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
🎉 Main Character is now YA Pix!
Over the past year, your feedback has helped us shape a refresh we’re really proud of: new names, updated looks, and a better, more seamless experience across all our newsletters, now as one cohesive Pix collection. Don’t worry, nothing you love is changing. You’ll still get the same picks and features, just easier (and more fun) to enjoy.
Psst: If we land in your Promotions folder, drag us back to your Primary folder so you don’t miss a thing.
Now, let’s dive into what’s been trending this month!
Big Same
In Big Same, we pick a popular title and recommend a new book, movie, or show that matches its energy.

Together with ThriftBooks
The summercore aesthetic is all about sun-drenched days and electric nights where everything feels bigger—your first love, your first heartbreak, your first real taste of freedom. Think: beach bonfires, late-night drives with the windows down, and stolen kisses under string lights.
