-Mark Twain

GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD BOOKS, AND A SLEEPY CONSCIENCE:

this is the ideal life.

The perfect weekend does exist...

AND YOU'RE INVITED!

Yes, you and your book besties are invited to a weekend of uninterrupted reading, community with fellow readers, and of course, some fun swag!

I truly believe there's nothing more important than making time for yourself and it's an added bonus if that time also involves reading,
am I right? 

So join me for 40 hours of YOU time as you fill your cup and cross some books off your TBR list (and probably add some more to it, too)!

Who is this for?

being able to read without any interruptions? 

DO YOU love...

talking about books and sharing book recs with others?

do you ENJOY...

to get away for a weekend to just focus on YOU?

do you want...

SEE WHAT TRACY HAS TO SAY:

"I'm someone who really relates to the feminine urge to get away for the weekend with some girlfriends, but I also love some cozy solo reading time. Book·cation gives me the best of both! Beautiful accommodations, delicious food, and the option to gather with others or take some solo time. I always leave feeling recharged. I've loved both trips and can't wait for the next!"

Don't take my word for it...

"I finally know who i want to target and what they want to buy from me."

Kate says...

"I loved spending the weekend reading alongside my best friends. It was awesome meeting and connecting with book lovers from near and far! It was so fun talking about favorite genres, authors, and tropes... and of course adding way too many books to my TBR!

ALLISON says...

"Bookcation was the perfect getaway for book lovers! I so enjoyed being able to connect with other like-minded individuals and discuss and bond over some of our favorite reads. The weekend was really what you make of it, and I came home feeling so relaxed and energized for the week ahead!

Put yourself first for a weekend!

You and your tbr deserve it!

OKAY LET'S GO!

These questions might help...

STILL DEBATING?

ARE WE ALL READING THE SAME BOOK ALL WEEKEND?

NO! Bring your TBR list and read whatever you want to read! There will be an optional book club that you can participate in, but otherwise you're free to read whichever, and however, many books you want!

IS MY ROOM INCLUDED
IN THE COST?

No. Your room is a separate charge done through the hotel under our room block in order for you to decide if you'd like to room solo or split the cost with friends! Just make sure each person in the room has signed up for book·cation.

CAN I COME BY MYSELF OR SHOULD I BRING FRIENDS?

You do you! If you'd prefer to recharge with a solo reading weekend away this is the perfect place! Want to bring a friend or two for some familiar company? Please do! This weekend is about YOU!
