Monica Hantho, a neighbor here Greenwich, has organized an opportunity for book lovers from all over the world to escape to the gorgeous tropical destination of Turks and Caicos to enjoy a fantastic two day event with bestselling author, Lee Woodruff.
This event is being held May 12-13 at The Somerset on Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos. There are numerous activities during the event including a cocktail reception and dinner with author, Lee Woodruff, as well as two discussion sessions with her. Everyone attending has been requested to read Lee’s debut novel Those We Love The Most in order to participate in the discussions.

After talking to Monica about this event, I couldn’t help but think of the many possibilities for other book club retreats…for anywhere in the world!
What do you think? Have you ever taken your book club on the road?

This sounds so wonderful, Sandy. There is nothing more stimulating for the mind than to read, then discuss it with others. The ideas that bounce off each other is so thrilling, and I am yearning for such an experience, ON THE BEACH! But I am very fortunate that I have a poetry group meeting at my house every Tuesday so we can share our writings and discuss.
Oh the beach….take me NOW!
The enchanted home says
I absolutely LOVE this idea!!!! How much fun to sit on a beach and discuss a great book with a bunch of women…..what a great idea…love it and would do it in a heartbeat. I was part of a great book club that unfortunately fell apart this past fall (many of the members going back to work or school)…i do miss it.
Love the idea of your poetry group…how fun.

I think this would be such a fabulous and fun thing to do! I would love to do a yoga getaway….
I Dream Of says
What a fantastic idea! My book club ladies are some of my dearest friends, so I would LOVE to pick them all up and take them to a gorgeous retreat. Truth be told, we often don't talk much about the books we read, getting caught up in the usual gossip, etc, but perhaps if we got away on a trip like this we would be inspired!
XOXO

What could be better than lying on the best beach chair and read your favorite book? This is one of my favorite activities. Thank you for an excellent article.
