Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm thrilled to have won the handmade notebook. I will treasure it. And I'm totally on board for future CBC gatherings. And I hope everyone is paying attention to this brilliant strategy for getting (and keeping) paid subscribers. ;-). What a great challenge to come up with a community-building idea that's relevant and appropriate for our own niches.
This has inspired me to introduce a communal commonplace book into a class I’m teaching, which is a technical writing class for engineers 😂😂 I can’t wait to see how it goes. I’ll keep everyone posted.
This sounds fun, Jillian. Just a reminder that you have readers all over the world, so your seasonal book clubs may be marking different seasons for different people. (Here in Aotearoa New Zealand, we’re currently transitioning through spring towards summer!) 🌺
Thanks for the reminder, Helen! I did think of you--and my other readers in the southern hemisphere, but I see that my language wasn't as inclusive as I would have liked. Very jealous that you're so close to summer.
This sounds wonderful and I am enthusiastically looking forward to both the seasonal CBC and Mantel’s memoir discussion. Thank you!
I'm excited too, Nic!

A well-deserved winner, Elizabeth … LOVED your contributions and your conversation about the quotes and references that inspired you.
What a lovely thing for you to say! Thank you.

Thanks, Elizabeth! I'll also add that it helps to create the kind of community I've always wanted to be part of.💛
Congrats to the winners!
I’m in on the mini pop-up club too. Hilary Mantel is so so so
Brilliant

Wonderful! So glad you'll participate in this club too, Amy!

This is fabulous! I'm a huge fan of the online read along. Thank you for sustaining this community.
Thanks for being part of it!
I've fallen in love with the memoir genre lately, so I am excited to read this one as part of the CBC.
The memoir genre is one of my favorites too. I love seeing how other people narrate their lives. I'm excited you'll participate again, Cheryl!
Ok I'm going to give this one a go, as I loved reading what everyone had produced.
It really was such a special experience. Excited you'll be part of this iteration!
Love this seasonal idea … and THRILLED to be a winner, which means I get to join in again. ✍️💛
Woo hoo!💛
What a fabulous idea. I’ve located the book at a local library and will pick it up today after pickleball! Thanks for leading us on this journey.
I'm excited, Diane! So happy to have you along for the ride.
Looking forward to this as a new member.
Looking forward to getting to know you better through the club, Susan!
Just ordered my book - looking forward to the discussion
Oh, how wonderful! I'm so glad you'll join, Richard.
