We received a beautiful note, and beautiful things deserve to be shared.
WRM member Emily V. Pope writes:
“Fun overlap with Well-Read Mom’s 15 year birthday. This year I turned 30! To celebrate my birthday, I decided to write notes to the people who helped shape my 20s. When reflecting on this chapter of my life, I found a stark change began a few years ago, when I joined WRM.
I joined because I was moving to a new city and was able to connect with a group here immediately. I went from hardly finishing one book per year to having read 25 books in the first six months of this year (good books - I promise!).
You have completely reframed my mindset on reading, and I will never be the same. Thank you for the work that you do, and know that it does not go unnoticed. I can’t wait to see how you shape my 30s!”
Emily, this note meant the world to us. May this next decade be one of blessings and joy, and full of good books. 🤍
Reading more, reading well, together. That’s what this is all about.
