Indigo has long been my favourite store. I mean seriously, the notebooks, the pretty wrapping paper, the boxes of thank-you cards, the baby gifts, the holiday accessories…what’s not to love? Oh yes, and the books. Obviously the books. Sometimes I sort of wish I lived in Indigo, and then I could actually just light the candles and use the handcreams and read every book whenever I wanted. But that would be weird.
You know what’s not weird? Reading books at home, on the couch, like a normal person.
Which is what I now get to do even more of, thanks to my favourite store ever, who just asked me to become an Indigo Book Club Ambassador.
What it means is that I’m starting an online bookclub, right here on my blog and you can join!
Love to read but don’t have any friends who like the same books as you do?
Live too far away from your friends to get together?
Have seven kids that don’t let you out of the house for bookclub night?
Here’s how it works. Indigo sent me this package…
So cute, right? There are three books, a Petit Maison goat cheese baker and a Volupsa scented candle. And although you won’t be able to indulge in the warm goat cheese dish I’m going to bake and pretty candle I’ll be lighting while I read the book, you can do the same at home. And you can have a glass of wine if you want (I know I will be!) without worrying about driving home from the bookclub!
The first book I’ve chosen from the bunch to read is Half-Broke Horses. It’s the followup to Jeannette Walls’s memoir The Glass Castle. This time, she’s written a true-life novel written about her grandmother’s life, in the first person (as her grandmother).
Want to read with me? Pick up Half-Broke Horses and start reading, then check back here for my updates as I read the book, and discuss with me by leaving comments below along the way!
