I am excited to announce the commencement of the Super Working Mum Book Club Project.
The Super Working Mum Book club project is designed to get mums/women around the world reading.
The goal is to read 12 books before the next world book day on March 6, 2014.
To give you some background, a few weeks ago, on world book day 2013, members of the SWM facebook group were discussing different books we had read over the years.
It was very receptive. One of our members then suggested we have a SWM book club project to read an agreed number of books before the next world book day.
Hence the birth of this project. A committee was agreed and we now have a list of 12 captivating books to read before the next world book day on March 6 2014 (1 book a month).
That’s not all, the committee threw in an extra 5 books just for fun that you can decide to read after the project. Talk about over-performance! 🙂
The books are fiction themed ranging from romance, to suspense, to humour you name it.
So to know what will be involved here’s a breakdown of the book club project
SWM Book Club Project Details
1) If interested sign up with your email address to join the SWM book club project to show your commitment (details below)
2) I will set up a secret Facebook group dedicated to the book club and add you to it. Secret meaning no one except members of the group can see the members list or content.
3) I will send out the book to be read a few days before the next month starts by email (there may be a slight exception for the first month April since we are starting the process late) . I will also announce it on the book club fb group.
4) Get your copy- you can either buy a hard copy (new or used), e-copy (some of the books on the list are free on kindle) or borrow from the library. Just get the book 🙂
5) Read the book…duh… 😉
6) Towards the middle/end of the month we start a discussion on the book in order to give people time to read the book. One of the book club committee members will chair the book discussion each month but more volunteers will be needed later one. We will discuss this further in the group.
7) The next book will be announced and the cycle starts again
Yes I know we are all busy working mums and all that but I am believing and hoping people will sign up.
Part of being a working mum is not just work & family but also networking and interacting with other liked minded women. The book club can help achieve that while we hopefully also increase our vocabulary
Also I believe it will be loads of fun, we get to hang out as a group monthly and this would also result in more exposure. Also when our children see us reading they will emulate us.
I don’t need to go into ALL the benefit of reading now do I?? 🙂
As much as we want you to be a part of the project for the 12 months, we leave your engagement up to you. You can stop and start whenever you want. No pressure at all.
You don’t have to be a member of the SWM facebook group to join the Book Club Project. Neither do you have to be a mum 🙂
So if you are interested start by signing up here or in the form below to show your commitment:
Please sign up by March 31st if you’ll like to be part of the first book discussion.
Also please tell your friends about this project. The more the merrier.
Any questions please feel free to ask. Cheers!
