Does any of this sound familiar?

You want to read more, but you’re struggling to…

  • fit it in, given the seemingly endless list of tasks you need to handle in other parts of your life
  • pick the right book, given the infinity of options to choose from and all the noise surrounding them
  • focus more on reading books that matter in a world of distractions like mindless social media scrolling

If it sounds familiar, then you already know how hard it can be to do it all on your own. That’s what inspired me to create this space for us. I wanted us to…

  • find it easy to make reading a daily habit that offers us so many benefits
  • stop wasting time on the wrong books and the endless question of what to read next
  • step away from the toxicity of social media and into a community of like-minded readers

Thankfully, now you can skip to the good stuff…
