Hey readers!
I started Kyrie Reads a little over a year and a half ago (originally on Weebly) to hold myself accountable for actually reading, and I’ve amassed over 400 blog subscribers here on Substack. I’m so thankful to all of you for giving my little corner of the internet a chance, especially to those of you who have paid subscriptions. ^^
If you’re tired of my weekly newsletters, fear not. I started full-time at a bookstore and am reading way too many books to write full reviews for them all, so my posting schedule will be a little different going forward. Here’s what that looks like.
SCHEDULE (September 2025 — Current):
Quarterly Reviews
Reading wrap-ups and reviews posted at the end of every season with analysis and ratings for each book read during that time.
Spring - May 15th
Summer - August 15th
Fall - November 15th
Winter - February 15th
Monthly Posts
Essays, rambles, rants, and other long-form blog posts about the literary world are published on the 21st of every month.
I’ve been itching to post literary essays, so this new schedule gives me an opportunity to tackle both reviews and think-pieces while still giving me time to breathe. This means at most you’ll be receiving 2 posts in your inbox per month instead of 3-4 like usual.
I’m also going to be more critical with my rating system. I usually never rate anything below 2 stars because I simply DNF books I can’t stand. But going forward, I will be using the following rating system:
1 Star = Awful
2 Stars = Okay
3 Stars = Average
4 Stars = Good
5 Stars = Great
That’s all, and thanks for reading! I’m excited for what’s to come for Kyrie Reads, and thanks again for all your support. Ciao! (๑’ᵕ’๑)⸝*
