<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2282727/open_sms">Send us a text</a>A lifetime of reading is on the table today! In episode 2 of our book club mini-series, Ashley sits down with Nan Williamson - a lifelong reader and book club veteran who has co-founded two long-running book clubs over the years. Nan opens up about her journey from a child with undiagnosed ADHD and difficulty focusing to a voracious reader and community-builder through books.Together, Ashley and Nan explore the emotional heart of what makes a book club more than just a reading group: the stories that shape us, the friendships that form around shared pages, and the quiet magic of gathering to feel, reflect, and connect. Nan shares her favorite reads, the secrets that keep her club thriving, and why book clubs can be a powerful form of community care.What results is a tender, vulnerable conversation that mirrors the emotional intimacy of a book club itself, and will leave you wanting to start (or restart) one of your own.Read <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Covenant-Water-Abraham-Verghese/dp/0802162177'>A Covenant of Water</a> by Abraham Verghese.Read <a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593947029/?bestFormat=true&k=witchcraft%20for%20wayward%20girls&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_12&crid=27VT1SF7B66Q4&sprefix=witchcraft%20f'>Witchcraft for Wayward Girls</a> by Grady Hendrix.Read <a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/0385534248/?bestFormat=true&k=killers%20of%20the%20flower%20moon&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_10&crid=28ZJ6ILCTABZU&sprefix=killers%20of'>Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI </a>by David Grann.Read <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Fever-Heartland-Klans-America-Stopped/dp/B0B9P2WGHV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=QE6AN3K0BF5Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kXzgIMwMhj2fwPtb_sMrfmFGLwsV_IEknve9CRzMKwt4I0-5A3kFrGN74vcSSsByP7VF_ozKIsoB4s2DXt_FGab7_Z5NzNjH0WrQEJ0JkOlRiQergxQhSIfiXiY7bHXD-HOOb-OTh-HwECMC_5z8denceKPZGyXtTCbis5K_mkMsoF5tNajX7sFrAIP0ZBZ_6Qq82POAfigN-REyF-edakkwGbMnQxYc64xFQbDBPf0.X0Zg5IN4baqLRYgu2VAPBKkRk-LclNWdJC4wdA05YD4&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+fever+in+the+heartland+by+timothy+egan+book&qid=1752622523&s=books&sprefix=a+fever+in+the+%2Cstripbooks%2C187&sr=1-1'>A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them </a>by Timothy Egan.Follow On the Table with Ashley on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ameatendre/'>Instagram</a> and <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@ameatendre'>TikTok</a>.On the Table with Ashley is presented by <a href='https://ameatendre.com/'>Âme Atendre</a>, a luxury home goods and tableware brand with a mission to connect people to all that matters. If you have ideas for new episodes or guests, or just want to share feedback, email us at reachoutanytime@ameatendre.com.
