    We are a group of friends who have been chatting about books on Facebook for the last 6+ years and we would love to have you join us.

    What Makes the Best Book Club Pick?

    • We read only FUN, light-hearted books.
    • We avoid tear jerkers. 
    • We don't take our book picks too seriously, reading is for pleasure.
    • We read a wide variety of genres throughout the year: romance, historical fiction, magical realism, fantasy, and mystery all make the rotation year after year.
    • We look for a variety of voices in both authors and characters.

    How To Join Our Book Club

    1. Follow along on Facebook:

    Every month, I post monthly discussion threads for each book inside our private Facebook book club. Join us here.

    You'll discover our group is filled with kind, upbeat people who just love to share their new favorite reads. We talk about all books, not just the official monthly picks. It's a great place to get new recommendations all year long.

    Need help finding a book on a specific topic? Looking for recommendations for books to share with your kids? Want to share something you've enjoyed? Members are eager to chat about whatever you are reading or want to read all year long.

    2. Sign up for email updates:

    Nothing is worse than having an exciting announcement and knowing that social media algorithms will filter and prevent me from getting the news to you. I don't want Facebook deciding what you see and what you don't.

    When you sign up for my email newsletter, I will send you all the reminders you need for our book list all year long. I've got lots of goodies planned for 2021, you won't want to miss out.

    You'll also be added to my weekly newsletter where I share fun seasonal recipes and ideas for you to enjoy your family more.

    GET ON THE LIST HERE:



    Now that you're in the club, just grab the next book in the list that calls your attention and get reading!
