About Books, Babes & Life Book Club
Books, Babes & Life Book Club is your ultimate destination for uplifting and empowering literature with a heart. The perfect escape filled with joy, hope and love. Through our favorite books we will travel in space and time. We will visit familiar and unfamiliar lands, making friends along the way. We will learn as they learn. Grow as they grow and celebrate their acomplishments as we look forward to celebrating our own.
There is something special about being able to curl up with a good book and a cuppa soothing drink. Letting the daily stress melt away, as you immerse yourself in a world so inspiring that it makes your own days seem a little bit brighter, is a gift that only books can give. Sharing that gift with fellow readers makes it even more precious. We all need a little dose of happy every once in a while and this corner devoted to beauty, wonder and imagination is just the thing to make an ordinary day, extraordinary.
In addition to our monthly book selections we will be offering weekly reflection posts, lively discussions, interviews, give aways, virtual tea and pajama parties, quotes, and helpful resources related to the monthly feature. The idea is to end each month with practical take aways that would inspire, uplift and empower our readers.
Our mission is in the name itself. Books, Babes and Life is all about embracing and living LIFE to the fullest. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey, as part of a community that would share your joy along the way.
What Do We Read?
We read books filled with joy, peace and hope. Books with a heart that make you smile. Varied genres like women and historical fiction, chick-lit, magical realism, romance, mystery and classic works that empower, inspire & uplift. We go for light, feel good reads and avoid any scary, bloody, depressing, heavy, political, controversial or disturbing content.
Being a busy working mom I know that finding time to do anything for yourself is often a challenge. I have also lived the life of a stay at home mom (24/7 on a job with a boss screaming and running around) and that of a single mother barely making ends meet while working three jobs. I also know that investing in anything other than food, water and electricity can be tricky for some, as I have been there as well.
That said, the goal of this book club is to make your life better not harder. To give you the opportunity to find joy during days when it all may seem hopeless. To lift you up when you are down and be there to encourage and empower you. Managing stress is so impotant no matter what your situation is and we are here for you. Books can be an escape, an outlet and a source of inspiration. As our favorite characters solve whatever obstacles life throws their way, we may be inspired to address ours.
That's why we discuss light hearted books with positive massages and outcomes. We know life is hard. We live it every day. So for that moment in time when we need an escape or a way to recharge, we can turn to a page that makes us smile and remember that life is beautiful if we only make the time to stop and smell the roses.
Why a Book Club Online?
The convinience, freedom and opportunities a book club online provides are certainly on top of the list as to why they have become so popular in recent years. Being able to discuss a favorite book from the comfort or your home, a vacation rental or a beautiful park is a great incentive to join an online book club, but that's not all.
While traditional book clubs are a great way to connect with the local community, online clubs allow to reach like minded readers and favorite authors from all over the world for free. Virtual meetings are great to connect face to face for those who would like to do so, but they can be recorded and accessed at a later time for anyone who may have missed them.
It is the flexibility and the fact that discussions and posts are there for you to read any time, any day that make online book clubs a fantastic way to encourage reading and build friendships. You don't have to put yourself out there if you don't feel comfortable. Some of us are just shy or introverts, but love books and enjoy reading the discussions.
