The State of the Thing

I would just like to say how very much I like the wonderful, in-depth, informative "State of the Thing" emails which are being produced by Abigail. I have have always enjoyed them, no matter who the author has been, but hers are just superb.
So many ideas, links, lists, etc. - it's so much fun to check them out.
So a big "Thank you!" to Abigail, whose last name I forget, and whom I do not have time to look up.

Are these ever posted on the homepage? I don't subscribe to any e-mails so I never see them.

>3 lemontwist: Although we post on our social media accounts when State of the Thing comes out, drawing people's attention to our SOTT archive page, to which MarthaJeanne has linked, we haven't previously posted on the homepage about it. That said, we will be doing so, going forward, with links to the page where you can read it.

>6 AbigailAdams26: As somebody who does not subscribe to the e-mails, and does not use social media: thanks! I'll look forward to being able to more easily access it in the future. :)

>9 johnxlibris: SOTT have been an ongoing project, begun years before I joined the LibraryThing staff. You can read the back issues here: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/State_of_the_Thing.

You can also sign up to receive SOTT via email, by going to your Account Settings page, if you prefer to read it that way: https://www.librarything.com/settings/account. Just be sure the little box next to "receive the monthly "State of the Thing" email" is checked.
