Book Lovhers Walk Club
This Sapphic September, I decided to combine two of my favorite hobbies for a fun bookish wellness challenge and community.This month, I’m officially launching the Book Lovhers Walk Club. This virtual book club combines our love for wellness and reading by listening to audiobooks while walking.
Back in June, I started a daily walking goal to help me be more active. Since then, I’ve consistently walked between 2 to 3 miles everyday for 3 months. My daily walks have helped me slim down and improve my mood.
In addition to developing a new walking hobby, I recently developed a love for audiobooks and enjoy listening to them on my walks. In Season 1, Episode 51: Okayyy, I dropped a list of Black sapphic audiobook recs and talked about the need for more Black sapphic options. My new goal is to listen to more Black sapphic audiobooks to help show publishers that there is a growing demand for these books. This audiobook walking club is the perfect way for me to achieve my wellness and reading goals.
Community is everything to me so naturally I want to recruit others to join me in my quest. To kickstart things, I created a Black sapphic audiobook walking challenge for Sapphic September. The challenge is simple. Listen to Black sapphic books while walking and track your progress. Just press play and lace up with me.
Sapphic September is a popular social media trend where readers prioritize reading sapphic books but they rarely center Black sapphic books. This challenge helps to remedy that.
There are 4 challenge goals you can choose from:
Lovher Girl— 30 miles + 1 Audiobook (Average: 1 Mile/Day)
True Lovher— 45 miles + 2 Audiobooks (Average: 1.5 Miles/Day)
Certified Lovher— 60 miles + 3 Audiobooks (Average: 2 Miles/Day)
Super Lovher— 90 Miles + 4 Audiobooks (Average: 3 Miles/Day)
How this works:
Choose a Black sapphic audiobook
Choose your Lovher Level
Walk while you listen
Track your miles and audiobooks
This isn’t a race. You can choose your own pace. To tap into the online community by using #booklovherswalkclub or tag @thebooklovher in your posts. The challenge starts on September 1 and ends on September 30.
