Dear Our Shared Shelf,

We are delighted to say that OSS celebrates its 3rd birthday today (January 8th)! From our very first book 'My Life on the Road' by Gloria Steinem, to our most recent selection, 'The Things I Would Tell You: British Muslim Women Write' edited by Sabrina Mahfouz, the breadth of intersectional feminist discussions between Our Shared Shelf members has inspired a practice of perpetual growth for us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you all for making Our Shared Shelf what it is today! Three years of sharing intersectional feminist ideas has flown by like a really good book you don't want to end. Here's to a brilliant 2019!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In gratitude and solidarity,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The OSS Moderators ❤

Possibility to celebrate every month? I am just saying, it would be more 🍰! Just a suggestion of course, not saying it is a good one but 🍰 and 📚 are matching very well.

Ok, I am leaving now, no need to show me the door.

More seriously: it is enriching for everyone to walk by each other's side, to listen, to question and learn from each other. Let's walk a bit further together since people here (members and moderators) seem to be good at it. 😊

Camilla (repressedpauper) | 64 comments I've been here I think literally since day one. I fell behind last year but I'm hoping to gradually catch up on those and stay on track this year. I really enjoy this group and our diverse picks, and I've met a pretty good friend on here too. :) Happy third birthday!
