Introducing the Square Readers Book Club! 📚📖 New to Book Club? Start here!

Hey Square Readers!

Are you looking for a new way to level up your business skills and have some fun while you're at it?
Then get excited, and get ready to read!

We created the Square Readers Book Club, and we’d love to have you join.

There are a ton of books filled with info on how to run your business better. But if you’re anything like me, it’s completely overwhelming to try and find relevant ones to me and my business. And it’s even more challenging to find the time, motivation, and accountability to actually read them.

So we’re here to make that a little easier. 

We have hand-picked some hard hitting and insightful books specifically written for business owners like you. The best part is, you won’t read them alone.

We pick one book every two months to read and chat about together in this Community Group full of sellers like you. We’ll share some extra resources and content from the author and cap it off with a live video chat. And of course, we’ll post a full summary with key insights and takeaways from each book.

Don’t have time or don’t want to read the book? No problem! There will be discussion threads for you to read, video chats to listen to, and we’ll summarize the key takeaways along the way for each book. 

We vote on all of the books we read, so join the group to always stay updated! 

You can pick up a copy of the book at your local library, local bookstore, Amazon, or anywhere else. And of course, go for any version you’d like: paper, digital, or audiobook (listening totally counts as reading too!). 

And take a look at our virtual Square Readers Bookshelf for a comprehensive list of business books suggested by sellers like you. You can see the current book we’re reading, previous books we’ve read, and a bunch more of what we might read in the future.

Get ready for our Book Club:

• Join the Group 
  
• Introduce Yourself
• Browse our Bookshelf
• RSVP to our Events

We can’t wait to read with you!

This is a great opportunity to get insight from both the books and sellers. I will try my best to find time to read the books, but I do appreciate that the threads and summaries will be available. Thanks @Pesso!

Sounds like a great plan to me, @TCSlaguna ! Glad to have you in the group, and looking forward to it-

[JUYBoutique20]

Great, can't wait!!!🎉🎊

[Pesso]

Thank you so much, @JUYBoutique20 -- looking forward to having you as a part of this!

[Doran]

YAY!  Super excited about this.

Hi guys can someone advise me how to turn off the email notifications for square readers club 

[Pesso]

Hey @Merakieatsandco , and everyone else!

So sorry about all of the email notifications!

Next time I’m absolutely doing a survey instead of comments — I was completely not expecting this many folks to be interested and I am so thankful for all of you! 

To turn off email notifications for a particular post, go over that thread, probably the Vote for the First Book one, scroll to the top and, you can click Unsubscribe in the top right corner, or right under it is Thread Options and in that pop up is Unsubscribe. 

This will only turn off email notifications for responses on a particular thread, you will still be notified for other updates or tags, so you’ll stay in the loop for all other book club things! 

Thanks again!

AH!!! I love this!!! 
There are also some really great titles available on LIT videobooks. They help to keep you engaged (because business books have a tendency to not be...well...the business. 🤪)

Looking forward to it!! 

[Pesso]

Woah, LIT Videobooks looks really cool! I've never heard of it -- thanks so much for sharing that @JessPoynter ! Definitely a cool resource!

[cupzcoffeeaz]

Thanks you so much @Pesso !! So excited to join this reading group and the discussions 

[Pesso]

Thank you for joining, @cupzcoffeeaz ! We're all just as excited and can't wait to get started!

[Charzstarz]

This sounds interesting and fun! Thank you for the opportunity.

[Pesso]

Thanks so much for joining @Charzstarz -- we're excited for it too!

[CC-Crestone]

I like this idea. I've joined and look forward to participation. I do wonder how the books are delivered to us - are they sent by PDF or do we obtain them ourselves and when do we have that opportunity to begin reading.

[Pesso]

Thanks so much, @CC-Crestone !

Unfortunately we do not provide the books -- you can pick up a copy of the book at your local library, local bookstore, Amazon, or anywhere else. And of course, go for any version you’d like: paper, digital, or audiobook (listening totally counts as reading too!). 

I'll announce the first book on Monday, April 3rd, and we'll kick off reading and talking then! 

[NaturallyBec]

Such a great idea, thank you

[Pesso]

Thank you so much for joining us, @NaturallyBec -- so excited for it!

This is great. I just purchased my first Kindle. It is amazing how much more one reads when it is so readily available.

Look forward to April 3rds book announcement.

[Pesso]

Thanks for joining, @bishopsbling ! Congrats on the kindle -- I use the kindle app on my phone and I'm the same way, I read sooo much more these days now that I always have every book ever on me. 

Looking forward to it too!
