Habits, Books, and Us. Let’s Chat.
·OnlineOnlineWe’re all on a path of self-improvement, and sometimes talking about it helps.
This monthly gathering is a place to talk honestly about habits, intentions, motivation, procrastination, fresh starts, forgotten plans, and all the wonderfully imperfect ways we try to grow.
Some months, a book may help guide the conversation. Other months, we may focus on an idea, a tool, a personal experiment, or whatever seems to be helping, or getting in the way.
This is not a traditional book club.
Read the book. Read half the book. Listen to it. Watch a video about it. It's all good, and you're still welcome.We’ll share what’s working, what isn’t, what we’re learning about ourselves, and how to keep moving forward without waiting to become perfectly disciplined people.
This is not a formal class, and there are no experts in the room.
Just a group of people exploring what happens when we make small changes — and support each other along the way.Third Monday of the month
6:00PM - 8:00PMTo make things easier, I’ve created simple habit tracker templates you can use between meetings. If you like that kind of thing.
Full Page Tracker Template - https://www.canva.com/design/DAHDIRkaFsM/kBqPfLIn7bNGM26ga04OQg/view?utm_content=DAHDIRkaFsM&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=preview
There are several habit-tracking apps - if you prefer digital.
- Atoms: The official Atomic Habits app. It combines habit tracking with short lessons based on James Clear’s system.
- Loop Habit Tracker: Simple, free, and especially good for Android users who just want straightforward tracking without a lot of fuss.
- Finch: A more encouraging, forgiving option that combines habits and self-care without making missed days feel like a moral failure.

Plot Twist ONLINE YouTube Book Club by Book Clubbin'
·OnlineOnlineThe killer is behind her. And he’s her boyfriend. And also her secret brother. And has her dog trapped in the basement of his New England cottage. And she is slowly piecing all of this together, but he is literally right behind her and about to strike the death blow. What she needs is a halfway decent friend to tell her that she needs to be a better judge of character, and also, to turn around.
That’s what we’re here for.LIVE at 9AM PDT on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. We'll chat as the episode premieres!
WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT!Watch the LIVE premiere of this month’s book discussion - Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker.
Can't be there?
Catch up on YouTube and Spotify.Armed with a basic webcam, Joseph and close friend & poet, Jessie Haynes, we walked hand-in-hand into the hellfires of the internet to create Book Clubbin’, a podcast studio dedicated to making the kinds of book clubs people will want to tune back in to week after week.
J & J explore thrillers and horror reads that shock, surprise, and, occasionally, keep us up all night with the lights on. Classics that have defined the genre. Contemporary works that reimagine how readers engage with a story.
"If a plot twist made us throw our book across the room or roll our eyes, you’ll hear about it. Truly, a psychotic mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly because if we only talked about the books we liked, what fun would that be? "
Joseph Price lives in Mountain View, CA, with his partner. His short stories have been featured on Substack’s Top in Fiction. He’s currently working on an expanded short story collection as well as his first full-length novel.
J.M. Haynes is a storyteller who works across mediums - poetry, short stories, screenplays, painting, and music. Usually, while trying to finish the science fiction series she started ten years ago.
