Quarantine & Chill: Virtual Book Club
Virtual book club is here! I am thrilled that y’all are as excited about this as I am. Given the uncertainty we are all facing daily, the stay at home orders in many states, and with the importance of social distancing continuing to grow, now more than ever is a time for us to come together and support each other in any and all ways.
The social distancing aspect we are all experiencing was a big motivator behind this virtual book club. Finding ways to still be social while practicing social distancing is something we are all working on. Coming together at a time like this to escape reality for just a moment with a good book is something I’m all for!
I truly appreciate all of your insight and votes on the details for this virtual book club! I’m so excited to get this started and have put together all of the details for it plus the list of upcoming books so that you have time to order them.
So without further ado, here are the details on the virtual book club! #TLSWbookclub
THE BASICS
Here is a quick breakdown of all the basic info you’ll need to know for this virtual book club. After the first one, I’m open to any and all feedback on if timing, date, etc should be adjusted moving forward. But for now, here’s the basics!
The first virtual book club will be on Thursday, April 9th!
Book club will be a bi-weekly series. This will allow enough time for people to find/get the book(s) and read them.
Book club will take place on Thursdays at 8pm EST/6pm MST.
I’ll be going live on Instagram and we’ll chat all things about the current book and I’ll “announce” the next book for anyone new. I’ll have some questions planned ahead of time for discussion but please bring any and all questions, thoughts, feelings, etc you had about the book!
Use #TLSWbookclub on social so we can stay connected leading up to each virtual book club meet-up!
THE BOOK LIST
I have quite the stack of books on my nightstand plus an ever-growing list of books I want to read so I’m excited to tackle these with you! Reading is something I truly enjoy and there is nothing better than being curled up on the couch getting lost in a good book.
Since shipping time frames are a bit off with the current state of the world, I figured it would be best to provide you with the upcoming list of books so that you have time to get them and read them. As always, if you have any book suggestions or recommendations, please let me know!
