What our Book Club has been reading

I have spoken about my amazing bookclub several times (first here and then a frequent update in my monthly mailers), so consider this article as a permanent update of what the four of us have been reading.

We each can pick what we want to read with the single commitment to read and share our love for books on a monthly basis.

#10 | The Book Club of your Dreams 🔓

Why this book club works? This is not your typical book club. This book club is a façade. It’s in reality a circle of women who deeply craved a low maintenance and profound conversation around feminism, love, motherhood, longevity and defining what turning 40 means today.
