This is a real reading retreat. This isn’t a conference or a get together. This is a retreat for actual reading. It’s super important you understand that.
We’ll spend 3 days at a gorgeous lakefront home with a small group of women who came to actually read. You’ll have time to curl up and burn through your TBR.
what we’ll do
-
read
Scheduled, gently-enforced silent reading time.
-
eat
Delicious meals together talking about what we’re reading. Or you can eat alone and read more. No one is going to judge you.
-
read some more
Lounge by the lake, sit on the porch or stay inside in a comfy chair. It’s all about the reading time.
