Lazy Book Club
Welcome to Lazy Book Club! Here’s the deal: Read a book. Whatever book you want and write out your thoughts on the book (see our helpful questionnaire below for inspiration!) Put those thoughts in an envelope in the back of your book. Yes, we are analog and we love it. Put your book on our bookshelf in the tasting room for someone else to read. Pick another book off the shelf and read! At the end, someone else's thoughts are in an envelope for you to read. Contact people to share your ideas or don't and be as Lazy as you want. Please put your name in the book, if you own it, in case you want it returned, but just know you may have to part with your book for a long period of time, so only put books on the shelf that you’re ok leaving with others.
