It’s officially July, and that means it’s time for our next Online Book Club pick.

This month, we’ll be reading The Lake House by Lina Patton, a novel that explores wealth, despair, and the tensions that emerge as long-buried secrets and hidden desires begin to surface. If you enjoy character-driven fiction filled with atmosphere, mystery, and emotional complexity, this should make for an incredible month of discussion.

I’m also excited to share that Lina Patton has expressed interest in joining our Book Club discussions and talking with readers about her novel throughout the month. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, and I’m looking forward to seeing the conversations that grow from it.

If you’d like to read along, we’d love to have you join us on Fable. The app is completely free to download, and creating an account only takes a minute.

After experimenting with several different platforms, Fable has remained the best home for our Book Club. Rather than one long discussion at the end of the month, each section of the book has its own discussion thread, allowing you to share your thoughts as you read without worrying about spoilers from later chapters. Whether you read a chapter a day or finish the novel in a weekend, there’s always a conversation waiting for you.

If you’ve been looking for a welcoming online reading community, this is the perfect month to join us. Grab a copy of The Lake House, settle in, and let’s spend July reading together.

See you there!
