The

Book Club

I see you!

You've got (at least) three books on the go.

That sensible business book. A book next to your bed. And one that sort of floats between rooms. That you pick up and read one chapter of at a time. Or two.

Reading is great. If only you could actually finish some of these books you start!

THAT's what we'll be doing in the Pick 'n Mix Book Club.

Come and join us in Pick 'n Mix, the community for creative and multi-passionate women. And join Book Club every other month!

What do you say?

Hi again!

I LOVE reading. I literally have read hundreds - if not thousands - of books in my lifetime. Books on art and spirituality, careers and change, business and leadership, feminism and happiness.

Do you want to know my Top 5 books on career change or what I thought were the best books I read in 2021? Or the six books that shaped my life?

Yeah, I probably wrote a blog about it. Or a book review

I can't wait to meet you all in Pick 'n Mix and talk about books. And hear what YOU thought of it!

Book it in your calendar now: Wednesday 28 September 2022 at 8 pm BST

We're reading:
Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown

For those of you who have read some of my book reviews before you will know that Brene Brown and I didn't always get on. Not in the 'I-know-her-and-can't-stand-her' type of way, mind. I'm sure she's lovely. But in that I couldn't always relate to how she wrote. 'Rumbling with vulnerability', 'circling back' are not ways of saying things I relate easily to.

You can say that I'm late to the party. Dare to Lead, but in particular her book The Gifts of Imperfection have woken me up, punched me in the gut and have made me a total fan.

So, for the September edition of Book Club we're doing it. We're reading Atlas of the Heart, in which - according to my library - 'she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection'.

And boy, do we need just that: connection!

Looking forward to hearing what you thought.

Frequently asked questions:

What is this I hear about a Book Club?

Yep, I'm that person too. With (at least) 3 books on the go. With permission to NOT finish books.

Books I finish are the books that I had no trouble finishing. That is why I regularly share what I think of the books I finished (life's too short to finish books you don't enjoy) in my book reviews.

Come and join me. Read along. And tell me all about what you thought of this book!

Did I hear you say it's FREE?

No, you didn't. But it is! Free, I mean. Free for all Pick 'n Mix members (join here: Pick 'n Mix).

I'd love for you to join me and tell me about the book. Your thoughts, your feelings, what you're going to do as a result of the book (remember: it's not just information, but transformation we're after!).

How does it work?

Ah, I was going to come round to that! Here's how it works:

1. Register for book club (Pick 'n Mix members only. Not a member? Come and join us here: Pick 'n Mix

2. Get the book - you can see the book we're reading on this page and I'll tell you inside Pick 'n Mix.

3. Turn up*

4. Have a great conversation with like minded women. There might be tea and biscuits. There will be laughter, and conversation.

5. Learn which book we're reading next time.

6. Come away with new information, great inspiration and food for thought to start your transformation.

That's it! What do you say?

* No, seriously, turn up.
