Ask and ye shall receive.

That’s exactly what happened when I put out a call on Twitter to get a healthy living book club going. I am beyond excited about all of the interest in a virtual book club like this!

My pal, Paige over at Virginia Health Coaching, agreed to help out with the group.

The devil is in the details.

The details:

  • We will have one book per month to read, starting in August.
  • New books are “released” the first day of each month. {Ex: April 1st}
  • Discussions will be held via Twitter at 9PM ET on the last Monday of the month {Ex: April 30th}
  • The hashtag for the discussions will be #virutalbookclub — feel free to use it when talking about the books, as you are reading it, and for the evening of the discussion.

Virtual Clubbing

The chats will be moderated by myself {@emilylevenson} and Paige {@Paige_Lysaght}.

We would also love to have guest moderators each month, so that everyone has a chance to get involved, choose the questions, and take charge. Don’t worry, Paige and I will always be around to help out.

Please let us know what month/book you would like to volunteer for!
