01. Welcome to CB's Book Club

Friends! Welcome to the very first episode of CB’s Book Club!

Get cosy and come hang for a while as I share the story about where this idea began, why now feels like the right time to bring it to life, and what I hope it becomes for you and me both.

This isn’t really a book review podcast. I mean, it is, but it’s also an exploration of how what we read (and how we read it) mirrors who we are — our seasons, our stories, our relationships, our becoming. And it’s a celebration of the reading life as a quiet kind of rebellion in fast times.

I’d love for you to be part of the conversation!

You can send me a voice note at speakpipe.com/cbsbookclub.

Please share your name, where you’re listening from, your favourite book of 2025 and/or a bookstore you adore.

CB’s Book Club is made possible by the paid subscribers of The Periodical. Your support means the world and keeps the show ad-free and independent. Thank you!

Go gently, read wildly, and enjoy Episode 002 where I share everything I’ve read (and half-read!) this year.

Big love!
