I used to read constantly. I remember powering through tons and tons of book a year and priding myself on reaching at least 10 completed books each summer through the children’s reading program at our local library. Then, school happened and reading was often required, which, thanks to my stubbornness, kind of took half the fun out of it. Don’t get me wrong, I was able to discover some childhood favourites like The Giver, White Oleander, and The Sky Is Falling. But, life got busier and busier and I let my bookworm side disappear almost completely for a time. Then, I met Adam, who is a major reader (every day, probably burns through one to two books a week, depending on the book, of course), and helped sparked my love for reading all over again. It’s so beautiful to step away from real life (and screens, tbh), to get lost in a really good book.
I’m always looking for something new and wonderful to read, and love trading books with my girlfriends. After Alex and I added some new chapters.indigo.ca decor pieces to get our shared studio/office ready for fall and winter, we got to talking and came up with the idea to start an online book club! How freaking cool is it that we could all read the same book and discuss our thoughts, but on opposite ends of the earth? I think that’s pretty rad!
So, we decided to start #areallygoodbookclub, because I think it’ll be fun and you’re all pretty awesome! If you’re interested, join us on Twitter Thursday, November 24th at 8 PM pst for the first #areallygoodbookclub discussion. To begin, we randomly picked a read from the Indigo Chapters fall selection, Jodi Picoult ‘Small Great Things’. I’ve never read Jodi, but hoping that I like her writing style. If not, I suppose you’ll be hearing all about that on the 24th!
Oh, and if you’re in Vancouver, we have TWO extra copies of the book to give away, so leave a comment below or message us if you want to come pick the books up from our Gastown office (first come, first serve basis). Details, including links to purchase these adorable decor pieces are below!
