Lazy Book Club
Welcome to Lazy Book Club! Here’s the deal: Read a book. Whatever book you want and write out your thoughts on the book (see our helpful questionnaire below for inspiration!) Put those thoughts in an envelope in the back of your book. Yes, we are analog and we love it. Put your book on our bookshelf in the tasting room for someone else to read. Pick another book off the shelf and read! At the end, someone else's thoughts are in an envelope for you to read. Contact people to share your ideas or don't and be as Lazy as you want. Please put your name in the book, if you own it, in case you want it returned, but just know you may have to part with your book for a long period of time, so only put books on the shelf that you’re ok leaving with others. A sign in sheet will be available for you to sign out books so we do not lose track of the books. Rushing Duck has the right to remove any books at any time for any reason.
Your name and email ( if you want). Are you ok being contacted by other readers to discuss the book via your email (y/n). It’s alright to say no!
