## Resource

Welcome to the first public episode of Shelf Respect. We've been doing this for six months over on Patreon and now it's time to have the best of both worlds. We'll have new free episodes twice monthly. This is a Snake Draft episode where the three of us slither through all the words and phrases we'd like to remove from all future books. All our book lists are always found on Bookshop.org . Support indie shops!
