August Book Babes

Come one come all, grab your books, a cup of coffee (or tea), and boogie on over to the Book Babes monthly bookclub!

You asked, I delivered. A week ago I mentioned on my Instagram that I wanted to start a monthly book club, and SO many of you were keen to join!

So, what is Book Babes all about?

I wanted to create a community of women (and men) that empower themselves through self-love and education. As an avid book lover myself, I find books to be inspiring, educational, and sometimes, if you find a good one, even life-changing. As much as I love novels and reading for fun, I also think reading to learn, grow, and serve yourself is a beautiful way to gain inspiration, motivation, and education! There are so many books out there that are written and designed to teach us more about ourselves and each other, and how the universe works within us.

How is it going to work?

Basically, at the end of each month, I am going to post an Instagram post (and maybe a YouTube video) asking you all what book you want to read the following month. I will choose three that we can all pick from, and then the book with the most amount of votes will be our Book of the Month! (I realize that I can easily skip this step and simply choose a book myself and tell you which one it is, but I want you guys to have a say in the book, too - after all, we are ALL reading it!) Then, I will announce which book has won, and you can either order the book from Amazon, buy it in a store, lend it from a friend, or download it on a kindle (or use audible - the first 30 days are free!) You can almost always find a used book online for super cheap, so I think we will all be able to participate! Then, after the first week of the month, once everyone has their books, and are all cozy and ready to read, we will have the remaining period of the month to read the book (depending on how long the book is, the time may vary). At the end of the month, I will make another blog post discussing the book, and we can all share our thoughts, ideas, and opinions about it in the comment section! I will also (probably) make a YouTube video and/or podcast discussing the book and my ideas and thoughts and how I felt it inspired or shaped my way of thinking or view on the world. As the books we are going to be reading are going to be LIFE CHANGING books, I trust that there will be a lot to discuss!

ALSO, I want to get this thing ROLLLLLLINGGGG so post pictures of your book, you and your book, your book and some coffee - whatever ! on Instagram and #jellybookbabes and I will be reposting some pictures and sharing on Instagram story and all that so we can truly create a cute little community of book reading boogying BABES!

I am always open to suggestions, constructive criticism, and advice, so please feel free to offer any of the above and I will be happy to consider!

P.S. If you have already read the Book of the Month, feel free to reread it, or simply wait until the end of the month and you can still join in the conversation ! In the meantime, you can enjoy another awesome book, or not. It is up to you!

OKAY SO WHAT IS THE BOOK OF THE MONTH?

BOTM: "You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living An Awesome Life" by Jen Sincero

https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Badass-Doubting-Greatness/dp/0762447699/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501486192&sr=8-1&keywords=you+are+a+badass

(For this month, I have decided to choose the book since it is already August! Remember, if you have already read it, that is totally fine! Please still join in the club and discussion!)

TBH I am in the midst of reading this book (I cheated a little, yes I know hehe) BUT it is such an amazing and empowering book that I think is truly so so so important for everybody to read! I can't wait to hear what you guys think about it! xx
