Hello! After a brief summer hiatus, the Spiralbound newsletter is back! We had some fun stories recently; see what you think. And then maybe I should Ask Olive how to make this newsletter even better going forward, hm… (And, as always, we are also on Instagram.)

The Tingles! My ASMR Story, by Abby Denson

“A few years later, I first read about ASMR…”

**

Goodnight Noises Everywhere, by Aubrey Nolan

“Her life began in a decidedly asymmetrical house in Greenpoint, Brooklyn…”

**

Botany Bae, by Anna Cherry and Grace Cohen

“As it turned out, he worked with the botanical gardens…”

**

How to Wear a Shawl, by Edith Zimmerman

“It changed my life, no joke, when I realized they’re better as big, squishy scarves…”

That’s all for now, but thanks for reading, and we’ll be back tomorrow with more! Also, in parting:
