- Rest Less Book Club – books read to-date
Sharing thoughts about what you’re reading (and watching or listening to) is an amazing way to connect with others, share stories and learn together.
Particularly when you’re a group that don’t already know each other, and are based all across the world!
Since we started, we have read a real variety of books together: from comedy to tragedy, historical to contemporary, classics to retellings. Happy reading!
