Why a bookclub?

For over a year and a half, we’ve been in a long-distance relationship. We see each other every two weeks and talk or write to each other every day. Yet, as we live our lives in separate cities, we have many experiences on our own or with other people. We don’t share as many experiences as we used to when we lived together.

This ‘bookclub’ allows us to share a new experience and it’s a way to get us to read a book a month. While we both enjoy reading, often other activities get in the way. This blog will help us stick to it, as we will publish our thoughts on each book on here.

We alternate who gets to choose the book, but we try to take the other person’s taste into consideration. Chantal won’t pick the next ‘Shopaholic’ book and Chris won’t choose a climate change policy textbook.

While the blog is a personal experience for us, we do hope it will inspire you to read!
