The Book Project

Over the next twelve months, in an effort to reconnect with my inner reader, every two weeks I will choose a book from my bookshelves and read it cover to cover. At the start of each two-week period, I will share with you, my generous reader, the title and author, so that you may join me for a great read. If you are fortunate enough to live in a nation with access to free public libraries, you can make use of them at no cost to you, and both physical books and online versions are readily available. Millions of used books are available online for purchase. If you are a purist, hardcover new editions can often be found and added to your collection. 

After two weeks, I will write a few thoughts online, offer my copy up for sale, and reveal the next book.

Feel free to share your own thoughts on the piece in the Comments Section.

My library, created over many years, contains a variety of books. Some of the texts were written first in English, and many were first published in a language other than English. Fiction and nonfiction both appear.

Every two weeks you will have a new title to explore. Perhaps some titles will not inspire or interest you – perhaps none will. To meet this challenge, I have created an opportunity for you to share your personal library with me.

If you would like to share a book near and dear to your heart with The Book Project, mail it to me at the following address:

When you decide to purchase my copy of a book, I will inscribe it with a message, hopefully inspiring you to continue reading, connecting us as only a shared reading experience can.

If you find yourself wanting to reconnect with the reader you once were, or to discover new titles, or to connect with other readers around the world (or perhaps curiosity has gotten the better of you), consider joining me on The Book Project. 

Yours,

Jade St. Claire
