News Of The WeekNews Of The Week

Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. I am happy to see that many stackers are contributing to the territory. Thank you all. We finally had a day last week where the territory broke 1000 sats in earnings without the benefit of a one off boost. There’s still a long way to go, but that was gratifying.

This week @Se7enZ started our first book club, The Stoic Book Club, and it was a top 5 post right out of the gate. Check it out.

Tomorrow I will be posting Writing Contest #2. It will be conducted in more or less the same way as our first contest, but keep an eye out for a few rules changes.

I think that’s it, so enjoy this week’s writing contest and I’ll announce a winner in the next newsletter.

Until then...
