Better Together Book Club

Welcome to the Better Together Book Club at The Lullabar! Join us in the cafe each month as we gather with fellow mothers to dive into the world of literature, accompanied by soothing cups of coffee or tea.

Our book club aims to create a space where moms can connect over shared experiences and explore the ideas, themes, and characters that resonate with our lives as mothers, daughters, spouses, and friends. We'll engage in lively discussions about the book, and we encourage everyone to share their personal experiences related to the topics we explore.

As a fundamental principle of our book club, we want to foster an environment free from any reading-related stress. We encourage everyone to participate, regardless of where they currently stand in the book. No need to rush or fret about finishing it all at once; let's savor the journey at our own pace.

We're pleased to announce that childcare services will be available during our meetings. Be sure to reserve your child's spot in advance on The Lullabar website, ensuring you can fully immerse yourself in the book club experience.

As we embark on our journey together, we'll choose our future book club selections collectively, allowing participants to vote on books for future discussion

Join us at The Lullabar for a delightful blend of literature, relaxation, and meaningful connections. Let's uncover the beauty of storytelling and the shared joys and struggles of motherhood. Reserve your spot now, and we look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant community of book-loving moms!

You Could Make This Place Beautiful: A Memoir by Maggie Smith

It is a story about a mother's fierce and constant love for her children, and a woman's love and regard for herself. Above all, this memoir is extraordinary in the way that it reveals how, in the aftermath of loss, we can discover our power and make something new and beautiful.

As a literature major and former elementary school teacher, I've always been obsessed with the power of stories. Some of my favorites novels are "Peace Like a River" and "Gilead.” I'm always diving into 2-3 books at a time—thank goodness for audiobooks! Being a teacher and mom has sparked my interests in children's books, and I adore experiencing them anew through the eyes of my wonderful daughters. Can't wait to share my love for reading with all of you at our next meeting!

I am a mom of an adorable two-year-old daughter and an attorney. After having my daughter (during a pandemic) I missed connecting with others and building new friendships. I hope to do that with a book club where we can find fun and interesting reads that will spark easy conversation and new friendships in the midst of our busy lives as moms. Recently, I’ve really enjoyed reading any book by Glennon Doyle - her stories are so relatable and inspirational.

The Lullabar is a wellness cafe for mothers and caregivers to receive self-care services while the little ones are safely entertained nearby.
