Do you love books or do you want to? Are you tired of reading in a vacuum and struggling to find good books? Has motherhood somehow made your brain a dusty shamble?

Friend, you are in the right place! BookFare Podcast is here to to help you find great books that you will LOVE and a community to share them with, all while nurturing your own brain and helping you create a culture of reading in your life and family.

We are Elizabeth, Tricia, and Amanda, and we are here to help you do just that!

We’re not academics or scholars. We’re just three women, mamas, and friends who believe in the power of great books to grow our minds and hearts and those of our children. We have all been through seasons when we barely read and seasons when our brains felt left-behind. We have struggled to find the right things to read and people to talk about them with. But through our experiences with different book clubs, in-person and online, and dedicated reading through the years, we have started to crack the formula for keeping great books in our lives and families through all seasons. We love this journey, and we are on it with you.

That’s why we started Book Fare - to create a safe and welcoming place for women who care about the content of what they read- an exciting book club that combines FUN with truth, goodness and beauty!

So…From newbie readers to seasoned bibliophiles, from beach reads to Beowulf, from new releases to classic literature and everything in between- we are here to explore and curate reading content for you and your family.
