I'd love your help deciding what clubs to explore next!
Leave a comment below with your favorite genres, sub-genres, reader identities, and wildcard club ideas. I'll be using your feedback to help shape future polls and decide which themes are the most popular with the community.
While I'd love to make a ticket for every genre and niche interest, that's unfortunately not possible in a single campaign. Not every suggestion will make it into this collection, but I'll be keeping a running list of ideas for future unlocks, future polls, and potentially even a Part 2 collection down the road.
One thing to keep in mind is that very niche sub-genres and highly specific themes are less likely to make the cut. In order to fund new designs, I need to focus on clubs that appeal to a broader audience and have enough interest to support production costs.
So tell me: what clubs are missing from the Reader's Club? 📚🎟️
Hey everyone! So thankful that you are joining me for this project.

🛍️ Etsy Discount Reminder
Don't forget that the Etsy discount code is still available! If you've been eyeing anything in my shop, be sure to take advantage of the code before it expires. It's a great way to pick up a few reader goodies while supporting the campaign. Use code ADMITONE to receive 40% off orders of $25 or more in my Etsy shop throughout the campaign.
📖 What Are You Reading Discussion
One of my favorite parts of any bookish community is hearing what everyone is currently reading. If you're looking for your next read, want to gush about a recent favorite, or just want to add a few more books to everyone else's TBR, head over to the Discussion tab and join the conversation! Click here!
Tell us:
What are you reading right now?
What's the best book you've read this year?
Which upcoming release are you most excited about?
I'd love to see what everyone is reading, and I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for recommendations!
Here's my current rotation!
💻 A Small Design Update
I've spent the past several days doing a lot of computer work between campaign prep, updates, design work, and general business tasks. Unfortunately, my wrists and forearms have started letting me know they're not thrilled about it.
I'm taking a few days to rest and recover my wrists before diving back into drawing. The good news is that this won't affect the campaign, and I'll be back to sharing new ticket designs in just a few days.
In the meantime, keep the comments, suggestions, and poll votes coming. I'm keeping a running list of your ideas for future polls, future unlocks, and possibly even a Part 2 collection down the road.
✨ Meet Me at Magic & Meet Cutes
If you're local to the Raleigh area, I'll be vending at Magic & Meet Cutes hosted by Bright Side Books & Wine this Saturday, June 13th!
The vendor market is open to the public, so you're welcome to stop by and shop even if you don't have a ticket to the main event. I'll have a variety of Snarky Co. products available, and I'd love the opportunity to meet fellow readers, talk books, and hear which Reader's Club tickets you're most excited about.
As always, thank you for being here and helping build the Reader's Club one ticket at a time. 💜
Please take a few minutes to read through this entire update, as it contains important information regarding surveys, production timelines, and opportunities to purchase some of the survey add-on items at a discount.
Survey and manufacturing info for Admit One can be found in the Backer Only content section.
Inventory Clear Out Sale + New Pin Pre-Order Sale on Etsy
I currently have over 50 new and returning pin designs being manufactured and making their way to me over the coming months. In order to make room for all of these new arrivals, it's time for a much-needed inventory clean out!
Because of that, there are currently two sales happening in my Etsy shop.
For this campaign, I've created several new pin designs that are not part of the Admit One campaign. These designs will still be available in the survey add-ons section at their regular retail price.
However, if you're interested in these specific designs, you can purchase them through Etsy during this special pre-order event for 20% off retail pricing. There is one caveat: only a limited quantity of each design is available at this discounted price. Once those quantities sell out, they are gone.
The reason I'm offering these designs through Etsy at a discounted pre-order price is to help begin manufacturing sooner. Since these designs were not part of a crowdfunding campaign, I don't already have the funds on hand to immediately begin production. Additionally, survey funds are not collected right away, which would delay manufacturing even further.
By offering these designs through Etsy now, I'm hoping to begin production this week, which means you'll receive them sooner as well.
Both sales begin today and will run for approximately two weeks. No coupon code is necessary; all discounts have already been applied.
Please note that the new design pre-orders are limited in quantity, so they may sell out before the two-week sale period ends.
PLEASE fix your payments. a whole bunch of you have failed pledges. I get it, but it's a huge amount and I want to make sure that we have the money in budget for the freebies I promised.
On Saturday I finished creating the surveys and I sent them in for approval.
I'm hoping to get the smoke tests out ASAP. But Please know that they are on their way soon! Smoke tests are just the survey sent to 5% of backers so we can make sure everything is working as expected. So if you get one, please fill it out to help me.
I added a few knick knacks, a pin variant, some beans, and a couple stickers to the survey! Make sure to check them out.
The actual full survey will be send out over 4th of July weekend- 6th. I gave you until July 20th to fill out your survey, so if you're on vacation... no rush.
After July 20th, I'll be finalizing the counts. If you do not fill out your survey before I order... you will have your freebies removed. I can only order what you actually tell me you want. So if you don't fill out the survey.... you are forfeiting those rewards.
In your survey you'll also find a Gift credit code for my palmstreet shop! But it expires when the survey closes. So you'll lose that if you don't fill it out.
Today I ordered all the stickers. YAY! Because they were Holographic.... they were a lot.
I also ordered all of the frames and the fabric to make the pinboards and It arrived today. The fabric is gorgeous and these pinboards are going to be amazing. Steph will begin making them all soon. The pinboards are a shadowbox style frame that can be tabletop or wall hanging, they have a thick layer of foam, then a layer of cork, and a layer of cellulosa velvet on top. The velvet helps hide puncture marks so that you can move your pins. The cork helps keep the pins secure.
I have begin using my Pantone book and creating files for my manufacturing factory. This usually takes a few days as it's very tedious, but I expect to have those ready in the next couple days.
I will be going on vacation from July 19-august 6th. We are driving cross country so make sure to check out my instagram for clips. I will be able to finalize my order count and send it in while traveling, so that'll be ready to go
If you have any questions, let me know. Otherwise I won't be posting a ton of updates until I have some items in hand. [email protected]
Thank you for supporting my art! I try and make sure everything is super clear and you have all the info and updates you need, but please let me know if you have questions! -Stina
🌙 I have finished my surveys early, and I am sending out the Smoke Test (random 5% of surveys).
Please get all the way to the "Confirm" tab, and just before clicking "Place My Order", to make sure you have all your pledged for and free rewards. This will also make sure shipping updates correctly. If all goes well in the first 24 hours, I will send out all surveys* tomorrow.
Please let me know if there is anything missing or wrong with your surveys; you can email me at [email protected] or submit a support ticket. ☀️

A Few Maintenance Updates:
Ghosting You Trinket – It was brought to my attention this morning that the word "for" accidentally appeared twice in the design. The duplicate word has now been removed, and the corrected version has been updated both in the add-ons section and with the manufacturer.
Paired Partner Collaboration Sticker – I have manually added the paired partner Millennial Club Sticker to eligible pledges. You should now see it listed on your confirmation page under your pledge items.
Survey Lockdown & Charges
Survey lockdown: July 10th, 2026
Shipping fees and any add-ons are charged on the lockdown date.
If you’re not ready by the 10th, no problem—just don’t complete the final confirmation step. You can return to your survey later.
Design choice guarantee deadline:July 15th After this date, you can still submit your survey, but we can’t guarantee all design selections. If we run out of one of your chosen designs while packing orders, we will reach out to you to choose a new design. It's very rare that this happens as we usually order more than extra of each pin.
Failed Pledge Charges
If your original pledge charge failed, you’ll still receive a survey on July 5th!
Add-Ons
Add-ons are optional and ship with your pledge (not separately).
Shipping Address Changes
You can update your address in the survey until lockdown.
After lockdown, email [email protected] as soon as possible for address changes.
Returned packages due to incorrect addresses will require a new shipping payment.
We’ll post a final address reminder before shipping begins.
Hello! A large amount of people need to fix their payment methods. Surveys will be going out next week. Plus take a peek at these new designs which will be in the survey add-ons
