I’ve always loved the idea of belonging to a book club, but it’s been hard to work that into my schedule, especially when my husband was always traveling for work. I have a lot more flexibility now, but I’m finding that I want to participate in a book club for creative people. I’m always looking for creative inspiration, and I realized that I already have an incredible library of books I have read and want to revisit, as well as a long list of books I want to read. So many books have changed my outlook and improved my creative life, and I decided it was time to take action and start the book club of my dreams.

I’m so excited to announce that I have formed an Amazon Bookclub called Books to Inspire Creativity. I hope you will join! It's free and very low-key, and I hope to make it a friendly and positive community.

Here are a few important details:

The first book is Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. It's available in several formats and is an excellent foundation for our future creative reads. This book will help you see the world and yourself more creatively and help you learn how to incorporate creativity into your everyday life.

While you can follow your own timeline for reading this book, I've set a deadline of April 21st for the finish date simply so we can have a goal to aim for. Then we will take the rest of April off before we begin our next book on May 1st. Bookclub members can suggest books in the group area, so feel free to add your favorites.

How does this club work? Amazon Bookclubs are relatively new and still in the early access stage. That means only some can create a book club, but everyone can join one. I'm excited to be part of this new beginning and welcome your ideas and input. I can’t wait to share the creativity with you!
