Our Blog Has a New Home!

Hi Strand followers, You may have noticed that we haven’t posted much to our Medium blog lately. This is because we created an entirely new blog housed directly on our website called Stacked by Strand! While we will still keep our archive blogs here, we would love for you to subscribe to our new blog. From booklists, staff picks, and quizzes, our blog will be just as great as this one, only hopefully a teeny bit better!
