Make this my coziest reading season yet

Why Reading Still Feels Hard (Even When You Love Books)

It’s not that you don’t want to read. You’ve downloaded the apps, built a Goodreads list, and maybe even joined a book club, only to feel behind, overwhelmed, or out of sync.

  • You start book after book… but never finish
  • You join clubs… but never like the picks
  • You carve out time… but life pulls you in ten other directions

I want to help you build a reading life that works for your real, imperfect, beautiful life without guilt, stress, or overwhelm.

With structure and support that bends to fit you, not the other way around. Even if…

  • You’re juggling work, kids, errands, and a never-ending to-do list
  • You haven’t finished a book in months (or years)
  • You’re shy or introverted on live calls
  • You struggle to find clean books that match your values
  • You’ve felt out of place in other clubs
  • You don’t have hours to read every day

You new favorite club.

“This whole week has been a huge pick-me-up and has encouraged me greatly! Sharing my interests with other gals who have similar values and interests makes me excited.”
— D.S.

Try the club – no overwhelm, just joy!
The book club that fits your values, your schedule, and your love of story.

Introducing….Cozy Escape Book Club

A cozy membership that blends self-care, story, and sisterhood, made for women who love clean books and want to rediscover the joy of reading again.


More than a book club, it’s a curated, distraction-free community for clean readers who crave connection, joyful reading habits, and practical accountability, without overwhelm.


Just weeks after joining, you’ll feel like the reader you’ve always wanted to be: consistent, joy-filled, and surrounded by friends who get you.

It’s more than a book club, it’s your monthly reading retreat.

Private Cozy Community (off Facebook!)

A cozy, distraction-free space on the Circle App (no social media!) where you can connect with like-minded women and talk books and everyday life.

What you’ll find inside:

  • Book pick discussion spaces for each month
  • Secret chat groups to share reactions chapter-by-chapter (spoiler-free!)
  • Spaces for recs, check-ins, and weekly “What are you reading?” posts
  • Weekly guided prompts — wins, takeaways, and encouragement
  • Access on phone or desktop
  • Direct access to me (Kassidy ) and our welcoming community
Live Cozy Chats (or Replay Later)

Live Google Meet video calls on the last Monday and Friday of each month at 7 PM EST. Warm, relaxed conversations (never pop quizzes!).

Here’s how it works:

  • Discussion guide in advance so you can prep or skim
  • 55-minute calls — short, cozy, and fun 
  • Guided thoughtful prompts for easy flow
  • Come as you are — pajamas, coffee, camera off, kids in the background, or just listen in
  • Recordings available if you can’t join live
Two Monthly Escapes

Two thoughtfully chosen, clean reads in different genres, so you’re never stuck with a book you don’t love.

Example pairings:

  • A historical romance + a fantasy
  • A contemporary Christian fiction + a spooky thriller
  • A cozy mystery + a laugh-out-loud rom-com

Plus:

  • Optional reading plans for each pick
  • Read one, both, or just follow along — no guilt
  • Perfect for slow readers, mood readers, or book jugglers
  • Monthly polls so you help choose future picks

Kind Words From Members

“Now I don’t ever have to wonder if it’s clean or not (Google searching has gotten old).”

Korrina U.

Member

“I’m extremely introverted and normally do not talk to other people. It has been nice to not have the pressure of being required to particpate and be able to dthis on my own will. Looking forward to the future with this book club!

Founding Member

“I was surprised by how much is included and it’s defintely worth my money”

Jennifer D.

Member

“I have never been in a book club before. I’m very introverted and like to hide in the shadows instead of put myself out there. I am hoping this will help me come out of my shell a bit. I enjoy reading and have already finished 12 books this year!”

FAQs

Because I’ll be your book bestie, ready with clean book recs, encouragement, and a cozy space that makes reading fun again.

You’ll feel supported, inspired, and excited to pick up your next book instead of feeling behind or out of place.

Yes, because it’s more than just reading the same book as everyone else.

Here, you’ll actually want to read the picks, feel comfortable in the community, and watch your reading habit grow, all without pressure.

You’ll leave each month feeling encouraged, connected, and glad you carved out the time.

Free clubs can be fun, but they usually don’t offer clean, curated picks, off-social-media community, and consistent encouragement to keep you reading.

For $9, you’re investing in a space that’s safe, uplifting, and designed to make your reading life easier, more joyful, and more connected.

No problem! There’s never pressure to finish. You can still join the conversation, hang out with the community, and enjoy the extras.

Some members just pop in for the chats or pick a different book that month, you’re always welcome.

You have options! We offer two clean picks each month in different genres, plus our famous “It’s Okay to Skip” policy.

You can pick another book from the monthly poll or just enjoy the fun extras in the club.

Yes, but in a relaxed, no-pop-quiz way (no wine culture here). We share our favorite moments, what made us think, and even what we didn’t love.

You’ll feel like you’re talking with friends, not taking a test.

You’ll fit right in. You’ll get discussion questions ahead of time, you can keep your camera off, and you can join the discussions at your own pace.

And if you do hop on a live chat, no makeup, pajamas, and messy life are totally welcome.

This is a judgment-free zone where you can show up exactly as you are.

Nope. You can join discussions quietly, read others’ thoughts, and still feel part of the community without ever jumping on a live Google Meet call.

Yes! We offer two different genres every month, so you can stretch your reading in fun ways without stepping outside your comfort zone on values. You might even discover new favorites.

Yes. Our flexible pace, “It’s Okay to Skip” policy, and warm community mean you can pop in when it works for you, without guilt.

Show up however you can, messy bun, dinner in the oven, baby on your hip. We’ll cheer you on.

I’m Kassidy, a lifelong reader, book blogger at Fruitful Reader, and someone who knows what it’s like to crave clean, uplifting books in the middle of a busy life.

I’ve spent 20+ years reading across genres, built a thriving blog community, and designed this club to be exactly what I wished existed: a cozy, values-aligned space where women can enjoy stories together without pressure.

Everything you need to make reading more joyful, intentional, and connected without adding stress:

– Two clean book picks in different genres
– Live Google Meet discussion with questions sent in advance
– Private, kind community hosted on Circle (off social media)
– Fun extras like printables, challenges, secret book chats, and author Q&As
– Monthly giveaways
– Instant access to The Book Vault — searchable database of clean & Christian reads

Yes, but I choose easy-to-find titles you can borrow from your library or grab as low-cost ebooks.

Not at all! It’s simple on both desktop and mobile; the members love the app version.

No, this isn’t a subscription box; you’ll choose how and where to get the books we read.

If you’ve ever said things like:

“I want to read more but feel guilty taking time for myself.”
“I keep buying books I never finish.”
“I feel overwhelmed by all the options and end up not reading anything.”
“I miss having meaningful conversations about books with like-minded people.”

…then yes, this is for you.

You’ll finish more books you love, look forward to the picks, and finally feel like your reading habit fits your real life, not the other way around.

Email me at kassidy@fruitfulreader.com. I’m happy to help you decide if the Cozy Escape Book Club is right for you.

Join the club with no pressure to keep up!

Still unsure? Here’s what I want you to know before you buy… Even if you’re busy, behind on books, or a little shy, you’ll still belong here.
