Oh The Places We’ll Grow

We are a vibrant community propelled by the meaningful connections we make with different authors, protagonists, and fellow readers. We consciously curate books that celebrate the stories and autonomy of women, championing voices and platforming authors too often overlooked. And we do it together, because to us, reading is joy—joy that’s intimate, and contagious, and true. So—we think—the more of us reading together, the better.

The City of Night Birds is TRULY a work of art. So many perfect lines in here that will sit with us for a while! ✨

Each page hits straight to the heart, with themes of ambition and love coming alive through @Juhea_Writes' writing.

Spectacular Things takes place in Victory, Maine, a nod to Liz's aspirations for her daughters and a perfect setting for a polar plunge. Is there a book set in your favorite place? 💙📍

We’re still not over Hattie Morahan’s incredible narration of the Broken Country audiobook. It’s time for a revisit. 💙
"She made her first attempt at outlining her next play, settling on the working title Down From Dover, based on a Dolly Parton song. Seemed fitting for the setting."

We love the little bit of Dolly weaved throughout Eve's story. 🦋✨ Drop your favorite Dolly Parton song in the comments below!
