The home stretch
The home stretch
Are you tired? We're tired. Tired of being interrupted, being lied to, of being told 210,000 dead Americans in seven months is a pandemic response to be proud of. We're tired of homeschooling while working full time, of being thankful to even have full time jobs. We're tired of marching, of exhorting everyone we know to vote.
But here we are.
We're in the home stretch of the US elections. To our overseas friends, we apologize (for so many things!) for having this take up space in your inbox, and lives.
For those of you waiting on team Silent Book Club to endorse a candidate before casting your ballot, rest assured we are team Biden/Harris. We, along with the the New England Journal of Medicine, The Rock, and The Pope agree that a change in leadership is required in this country.
But as importantly, we believe you should vote even if you don't agree with us (and THE ROCK). So to thank those who vote, we will offer a Silent Book Shop discount code. Simply tag us (@silentbookclub) in any social post you share about voting, or email us a pic of your ballot (sealed and ready to go) to get the code.
Because the only thing more exhausting than election season is the holiday season.
¡Ya Vote!
