Anniversary

Sip & Flip

We're celebrating our first year! And couldn't be more excited to celebrate it with you. 🎉

01 — one year in

A year of good books ✨

It's been one year of good books, conversations, and friendships shared over the love of reading.

Our book club has grown so much since we started, and I truly thank you for being part of something special.

To celebrate, we're doing a Sip & Paint — a night to have fun, share some stories, drink, and paint something cool. A chance to celebrate the full year of this little community we've built together.

02 — the celebration

03 — a little note from me

"

Over the past year, I've had the privilege of meeting wonderful people through this book club. I've read more books, across more genres, than I ever would have on my own — thanks to all of you.

When I started this book club, I would have been happy if two or three people showed up. I never expected it to grow into what it is now, and I want you to know how grateful I am — for every time you showed up, and for making this something so much more special than I ever imagined.

Here's to the first year, and to many more. 🥂

A book club that asks for one thing a month, that you actually read something.

Just the feeling.

Sometimes the best books are the ones we don't overthink.

This month, choose a book based purely on instinct. Maybe it's the cover that caught your eye, a title you couldn't stop thinking about, or simply a book you've had a feeling about.

Sometimes the best stories are the ones we discover by chance.

here's what we love
