Hello!
My name is Stephanie Madewell, and I am a reader, writer, and editor living in a stone house in northeastern Ohio.
Long ago, when the internet was a smaller place and I was coping with a soul-abrading job in a hard-to-love city, I started a blog called even*cleveland. It is still my online commonplace book, a place to save found quotes and images, plus an idiosyncratic array of gift guides and imaginary outfits.
This newsletter is my blog’s book-focused companion. I publish it whenever I think I have something worthwhile to share, and it usually includes links to book discoveries and recent blog posts. If you subscribe, expect an occasional, irregular, opinionated recounting of what I read. This ranges from stories about mathematicians to books about moths, rocks, false gods, lonely sailors, mushrooms, and novels galore, both bad and good.
