When I created book·cation, I had an inkling that this experience- that I so deeply craved- was something everyone else wanted, too. What I didn’t expect? For people to keep coming back! These two amazing ladies are repeat attendees and the friendship I’ve been able to cultivate with them is what book·cation is all about! […]

If you’ve ever wondered if you’re ‘bookish enough’ or ‘social enough’ for a reading retreat, let the Featured Reader Series be your answer! Book·cation is a choose-your-own-adventure experience designed for every type of reader. My prayer in sharing these stories is so you can see that no matter how you show up, you already belong […]

This blog post features two readers who loved our first book·cation so much they decided to come back for our second one! Since our second retreat, we’ve opened registration for 2 others and both have repeat attendees coming 🙈 My dream for book·cation is that it will foster community + relaxation to give readers the […]

At our most recent retreat, we had THREE mother/daughter duos join us and it seriously made my heart burst. 🥰 I think that a reading retreat is a great place to recharge and relax for anyone (and everyone 😉), but to want to experience it with your mom or daughter is just SO special! I […]

Welcome back to my favorite recurring blog posts where I interview past book·cation attendees to learn more about why they came to our reading retreat and why they loved it!

This might be one of my favorites of this series so far because it’s my first JOINT interview with 2 besties who flew from both ends of the country to be at book·cation and it literally makes my heart burst with joy every time I think about it! 🥰 Read on to meet Katy and […]

Welcome back to our fourth installment of this series! In doing these interviews, my goal is that you can see yourself in these testimonies. Book·cation is for EVERYONE! 🙌 No matter how you choose to read, if you enjoy solitude versus more conversation, or you’re fast or slow reader, you are welcome at our reading […]

We’re back with the third installment of our Featured Reader Series! This time I interviewed Ali + Kate, both moms who got to escape to book·cation for a weekend of time for themselves! 👏 Connecting and cultivating relationships with fellow readers is one of the main reasons I started book·cation and it’s been so fun […]

In Part 2 of my ‘Featured Reader Series’ we’re talking to a few more attendees to find out what they love to read and why they’ve loved book·cation! My hope is that you’ll read this and not just find some books to add to your TBR, but also some commonality with these fellow readers. Book·cation […]

I’m extremely passionate about book·cation because it’s an experience I’m craving so badly and I know there are other readers out there who agree!
