The 'Where We Summer' Book Club

When 2020 began, one of my main goals was to read more books. I love reading, but somewhere along the way I stopped slowing down enough to allow myself the luxury of finishing an entire novel. In the Summer, I would bring books to the beach or pool and realize that it was impossible to read and watch my son at the same time. At home I would listen to audiobooks, but with everything I was doing for side hustles, on top of my regular job and parenting I would never have time to really get into a novel. I spend a LOT of time writing, but reading was just never something I could squeeze in.

In February, I went through a bit of a change of circumstance in my life and started to re evaluate what I wanted to spend my time doing. I decided to read more, and ended up finishing a novel within a few days. It reminded me of how much I love to read actual books (not just listen to audiobooks). In March, Covid-19 happened, forcing me to work from home and keeping me from doing much outside of the house, which gave me even more time to read.

I’ve been following book club accounts on Instagram for a while, and some of my favourite bloggers have online book clubs as part of their blogs, so I decided what better way to encourage myself to keep reading than to start a Where We Summer Book Club!

Each month I’m going to start the month off with a new book, and post that book on my blog and social media along with a link of where you can purchase it. You can choose to buy the book and read along with me, or just use my posts as a way to get new book recommendations- either way, I’m excited to get started! At the end of each month, I’ll be posting a discussion blog post to talk about the book and give my rating!

April’s book is on the way now, so hopefully I’ll be able to post about it soon!
