This book club is your instant retreat where books, joyful conversations, and community all come together. It’s the self-care your busy life has been missing.
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

Imagine a Book Club That Actually Works for You

Shy or introverted?

You’ll get discussion questions ahead of time, join relaxed online chats, and pop into our private community anytime, no awkward small talk.


Tired of bad picks?

Each month, choose from two clean reads in different genres so you’re excited to read.


Busy?

We’ve got simple reading plans, flexible discussions, and an “It’s Okay to Skip” policy. This is your reading life, not homework.

Introducing....Cozy Escape Book Club
The book club that fits your values, your schedule, and your love of story.

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.

Here’s what’s included:
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

A peek at the books we’ve been reading

From magical fantasies to sweeping historical novels and laugh-out-loud rom-coms, there’s always something new to love.

Save time, skip the guesswork, and dive into a story you’ll love. Your perfect read is just a few clicks away.

Curated reading plans for both picks — read at your own pace and stay on track

Fun rotating extras like reading challenges, themed printables, games, and cozy recipes

Tools designed to keep things fun and help you actually finish books without pressure

Monthly Bookish Giveaways ($10+ Value)

Who doesn’t love surprise book mail? Each month, you could win a hand-picked bookish goodie, a little extra joy (and motivation!) to stay engaged, connect with others, and celebrate your reading wins.

A little sneak peek into the club...
Hey there! I'm Kassidy.


I’ve been a passionate reader for over 20 years and believe stories have the power to shape us. But after my first daughter was born in 2020, I learned how hard it is to read in the middle of motherhood, work, and everyday life.


That’s why I started Fruitful Reader, to help women like me rediscover the joy of reading clean, uplifting books. But I noticed something missing: a supportive, intentional book club made for women who love clean stories and crave real connection.


So I listened to readers, gathered their dreams for a better book club, and created Cozy Escape Book Club. Since then, I’ve helped women get out of slumps, finish books they love, and find joy again in reading.


Now, I want that same cozy, joy-filled reading life for you, too. Let’s escape the noise and fall in love with stories again, together.


Let’s do this, book bestie.

FAQs
  • Why will this book club finally work for me when others haven’t?
    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.
  • Is this book club really worth it? Will it actually be a good experience?
    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.
  • Why is it $9 a month? There are tons of free book clubs out there.
    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.
  • What if I can’t read the books this month?
    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.
  • What if I don’t like one of the books?
    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.
  • Do people actually talk about the books?
    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.
  • What if I’m shy or introverted?
    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.
  • I’m more of a lurker, do I have to post or speak up?
    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.
  • I mostly read in certain genres, will I still enjoy the picks?
    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.
  • I’m a busy mom / working woman / retiree, will this work for my lifestyle?
    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.
  • Who are you to lead a book club like this? What makes you qualified?
    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.
  • What’s actually included in the book club?
    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
  • Do I need to buy the books?
    Yes, but I choose easy-to-find titles you can borrow from your library or grab as low-cost ebooks.
  • Is the Circle App hard to use?
    Not at all! It’s simple on both desktop and mobile; the members love the app version.
  • Will I receive a physical book or ebook?
    No, this isn’t a subscription box; you’ll choose how and where to get the books we read.
  • I’m still not sure this is for me…
    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.
