Quit Lit Book Club: Empowering Reads for Bold Women

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE RSVPing

📘 February feels like the perfect month to talk about courage, not the big, cinematic kind, but the everyday bravery it takes to show up for yourself with heart, honesty, and radical self-love.

In How We Learn to Be Brave, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde explores the full range of decisive moments we face in life: the bold decisions to go, the grounded decisions to stay, the hopeful decisions to start, and the painful decisions to accept what we never asked for. She weaves together personal stories with scripture, history, and pop culture (yes, even Harry Potter) to show how universal these moments are and how each one invites us to live more fully aligned with our truest selves.

This book offers the kind of fortitude and insight that feels especially powerful in midwinter, a reminder that courage isn’t a trait you’re born with, but a practice you build.

Join us as we talk about bravery in all its forms, how it shows up in sobriety, and how we might carry more heart and strength into the months ahead. All are welcome, whether you’ve read the whole book, part of it, or just want to be in the room. 💛

Beth (the owner of Big Hill Books) has graciously offered a 20 percent discount if you purchase the book through her store. Please consider supporting this female owned, independent bookstore if you can. You can simply call the bookstore (612-834-6178), or drop by and let them know you're part of the book club.

The Quit Lit Book Club is more than just a book club. It’s a community of like-minded women who are not only ready to dive deep into books that inspire and empower, but also who are committed to living authentically, embracing change, and supporting one another in our journeys. Whether you’re sober, sober curious, or simply on a quest for stories that help you reclaim your power, the Quit Lit Book Club is a space for discussion, reflection, and connection.

What to expect with your Quit Lit Book Club membership:

• Monthly book selections: Thought-provoking titles that range from quit lit to stories of empowerment, resilience, and self-discovery.
• Engaging conversations: Discussions that go beyond the pages, exploring the themes that resonate with your life.
• A supportive community: A safe space for women to share, learn, and grow together.

PLEASE BE SUPER CONSIDERATE IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR RSVP STATUS. I REALIZE THINGS COME UP, BUT IT'S SUPER FRUSTRATING TO ALL OF A SUDDEN REMOVE YOURSELF FROM ATTENDING THE DAY OF, ESPECIALLY IF THERE'S A BOOK INVOLVED.
