Who knew a book club could change your life?
Okay, maybe that's being a little dramatic... but starting book club was absolutely the best thing I could have done for myself in 2024. I had been home with the kids for just over six years and both boys were in school and I was ready for something new. Every since getting my ADHD diagnosis and medication a few years earlier I had fallen back in love with reading - only this time in the form of audiobooks. That first year I was ravenous for new reads and I blew through over 200 books. But it wasn't enough! I wanted to share this love with friends of mine who also hold this passion close to their hearts. And so I put out some feelers in late 2023 and by January 2024 Books & Banter was born. It was a revelation! Not only did I get to meet up with friends and play catch up without the kids in tow, but I was also knee deep in mentally stimulating conversation in what seemed like ages. This was genuinely a joyous chapter of my life!
