Long before even starting this Weekly Newsletter, the #1 ask from visitors of the site has been to understand how we go about cataloguing books.

I promised that, in 2026, I’d finally pull back the curtain with a detailed, behind-the-scenes walkthrough, covering everything from research and writing to the technical nuts and bolts that make it all work.

Well… we’re only two days into the year, and I’m excited to say it’s here!

In this new deep-dive video, I take you step by step through the full journey of cataloguing a Super Mario Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Cover of the choose your own adventure guidebook for the Game Boy Advance, featuring colorful artwork of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, and Birdo. The cover highlights the Nintendo and Scholastic logos, a "Choose Your Own Adventure" starburst, and text promoting "Winning strategies and tips inside!"

I hope you enjoy below:
