Bountiful Path Summer Virtual Book Circle

Join the Bountiful Path Summer Virtual Book Circle!

Settle into the long light of summer and spend an evening with fellow readers who want companionship without homework. The Bountiful Path Virtual Book Circle: Summer Edition will take place on June 24 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

This seasonal gathering will center on Summer Connections, the quiet and lively ways books help us connect with ourselves, one another, memory, place, and the wider world.

Instead of an assigned book, you are invited to bring whatever you are reading now, or choose a title that resonates from past Books on the Boat posts. If you would like to connect your reading to the theme, you might choose a book that explores:

• friendship,
• family,
• community,
• belonging,
• travel,
• nature,
• creativity,
• or the kinds of connections that sustain us.

We will share short passages, reflections, and plenty of listening space. There is no cost to join, no need to be a paid Bountiful Path subscriber, and no pressure to attend every gathering. Come for this summer edition, or return for future seasonal circles as life allows.

Family physician, author, and Radio Maine host Dr. Lisa Belisle will facilitate with Karen Longfellow. Karen is a nurse practitioner, yoga instructor, cat mama, Navy veteran, and longtime volunteer with Maine Adaptive. She is grounded, wise, and deeply kind.

You are welcome to share a book, offer a short passage, or simply listen. This is meant to be a low-pressure, welcoming space for readers who enjoy stories, conversation, and the possibility of finding new titles through one another.
