I, (Kristy) love to read and know how hard it can be to "make time" for reading.
I also believe that reading is important exercise for the mind.
I am leading an online book club to help all of us stay accountable -- to make
reading a self-care priority.
Each book has four 30 to 45 minute virtual meetings which occur on Monday evenings.
The goal is to read one book each month.
See the scheduled times and outline of readings listed for each book below.
If you don't want to speak at a meeting, attend anyway!
Listen in and type questions or comments if you have them.
Not everyone enjoys speaking.
This club is a safe space to be present, but not necessarily verbal.
Did you miss readings or have you fallen behind? -- attend anyway!
Life gets busy, but don't quit reading!
You can always review sections later and use this group as a way to stay in tune with pages you have missed.
The cost for each book club "event" includes attendance to all 4 corresponding virtual meetings, and a $10 credit toward the next book club "event".
Remember getting free pizza for reading in grade school? It's a code now.
A code that gives you a discount to keep up the exercise of reading!
Consider me your reading personal trainer.
I won't sabotage your exercise with pizza. Just discount codes.
If you need a copy of any of these books, ask me.
I have a connection to my local bookseller (Arcadia Books), who ships direct.
Also, if I have an extra - I might be able to arrange expedited shipping for you :)

Conclusion
Why Kristy Selected This Book:
Trauma. We all have some form of it. This book offers a wide array of real life examples of what behaviors traumatized individuals experience and how therapists might apply various treatment modalities. It is unique in that you can see how behavior that makes no sense -- really does make sense, when a therapist actually explains how trauma works instead of just trying to treat the symptoms. This book can help one to understand their trauma instead of feeling isolated and hopefully gain insight about the therapies that could help.

Why Kristy Selected This Book:
I have had a recent obsession with learning about history through the timelines of war. I found Gandhi's blend of politics and eastern religious philosophy to be an interesting attempt at creating peace and wanted to learn more about his writings. While the world has it's share of unrest, i'm interested in looking at the various ways in which our "leaders" could approach things differently - and without destruction.

My doctor suggested this book!
Ladies, we all know it's coming at some point in our lives. Women of all ages will learn about the signs and symptoms of entering, and being "in" menopause. There is also a lot of info shared about how society views the value of an aging woman and for this reason women's issues have been prioritized in healthcare. Despite the seriousness of the topic, this book contains honest humor.
