Hi! My Summer Book Bingo Zine is OUT! You can get the PDF to download and print your own over at my newsletter, unless you happen to be lurkin' by a Little Free Library where I stash some. I went to my trusty Staples and got 50 prints so I'm having fun feeling like a little fairy dropping them off random places.
Because I designed this zine to be PYO (print-your-own), it is just black ink. However, this means if you have one in your hot little hands you get to decorate it however you want. I have really been enjoying filling in my bingo board and also just coloring it in general.
Like many elder millennials, I have dabbled in adult coloring books. During COVID lockdown, I got way into The Real Housewives of New York and then also a RHONY coloring book. Coloring pictures of women screaming at each other while sitting on Zoom call after Zoom call was oddly satisfying. I think of those days as I color in my own Zines.
This is not my first rodeo with creating coloring pages -- a few years ago during a Fund-a-Thon for my local abortion fund, I made a PDF coloring book as a reward for anyone who donated to my campaign. It's pretty basic, but I do stand by it (there's a "throw tomatoes at your least favorite politician" page, where you can draw in your nemesis' face and color in the tomatoes splatting all over the page).
Anyway, while I'm here I may as well mention you can get my first zine, Your LL Bean Boyfriend Zine (or LL Zine if you will), which makes a great catalog companion.
Don't you wanna go ham on your own copy? Go for it, babe. I'd love to see it.
