Love the idea of attending a reading retreat, but not really sure what to expect?! I got you 😉 Let’s dive into all the FAQ’s about book·cation so you can join us at the next one!
What is book·cation?
Book·cation is a reading retreat for book lovers to get away from their responsibilities for 36 hours and have uninterrupted reading time surrounded by other readers who want to do the same thing! 🙌 It’s just what it sounds like… a book vacation!
Where is book·cation held?
There will be a different location for each book·cation retreat. For the upcoming book·cation locations, check out the website for details on pricing, what’s included, and dates! The next book·cation will be in April 2025 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin 👍🏼
Is everyone reading the same book all weekend?
No! Bring your TBR and read whatever you want – this weekend is all about you so bring a few options so depending on your mood you can read accordingly 😂 There will be an optional book club that you can partake in on Saturday afternoon in which case you’ll want to have read the book ahead of time. However, when you’re solo reading, read whatever you’d like!
What’s the itinerary?
Besides Friday + Saturday night community dinners and optional book club and yoga class, there isn’t much of an itinerary. This weekend is about YOU so make it what you want! I wanted to give everyone the space -literally and figuratively- to just be; read where you want, talk with who you want (when you want) and fill your cup however you want! Plus, the book·cation in April 2025 is held at a resort with a salon and spa so you might even want to think about treating yourself to some spa time!
Can I come by myself?
Absolutely! This weekend was designed with every type of reader in mind. Whether you want to make it a girls weekend or you’d rather come solo and fill your cup with solitude, you are welcome just as you are!
Is there an age restriction?
Book·cation is for adults (21+) unless otherwise specified. However, I’m definitely open to hosting a family or mother/daughter reading retreat in the future!
Is lodging included in the cost?
It is not included. I wanted you to have the flexibility to room how you’d like within our room block! Want a king bed all to yourself? Zero judgement 😉 Want to split the room cost with some friends? Let’s do it!
Can I come if I listen to books?
Yes! Book·cation is for all book lovers no matter how you enjoy reading 🤗 Bring your books, kindles, or headphones and read however you like!
Will you be doing one by me?
My dream is that within the next few years, I’ll be hosting book·cations around the country (and maybe even internationally 😏) so the short answer is YES! At some point in the near future, there will hopefully be a book·cation within driving distance of you 😘
How did you come up with this idea?
I came back to reading fiction after a 10 year hiatus and was in a completely new season of life…aka motherhood 🫠 I was longing for more time to read that didn’t center around my kid’s schedules and as I talked to my friends, it seemed they wanted the same thing!

Are you convinced yet? 😆 I promise that if you love to read and you love to discuss books with others, this reading retreat is PERFECT for you! I’d love to connect with you and have you be a part of this new experience for book lovers. Will you join me?! I hope so!
