Pretty Minds Turn Pages is switching things up! We’re putting down the paintbrushes and switching gears for a little friendly competition at our 12:01 — GAME DAY EDITION.

As we step into 2026, I wanted our first read to feel intentional — something that mirrors the strength, softness, and resilience in all of us. 🤍

The Last Man On Earth by Shae Sanders is a survival romance that digs into trust, vulnerability, and learning to hold space for someone when everything else is stripped away. Two strangers. One island. No choice but to rely on each other… and everything that unravels from there.

Pretty Minds Turn Pages™ returns for our January gathering, and I can’t wait to sit in a room filled with beautiful minds, open hearts, and good conversation.

We are officially open to new members.
We would love for you to read the book with us — but we also understand if you can’t make the full commitment yet and simply want to come see what Pretty Minds is all about.
Either way, you’re welcome here. 🤍

📅 Saturday, January 24, 2026
📍 Southwest Library
⏰ 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

You’re invited to an unforgettable night with Pretty Minds Turn Pages 🖤

On Saturday, Sept 27th we’re gathering for our next meeting, and trust me — this one will hit different. We’re diving into Parachutes: Book One by @bytakerraallen — a raw, emotional story of first love, identity, and the kind of promises that can either hold you up… or break you completely. Secrets are exposed, hearts are tested, and nothing feels safe once the parachute rips. 📖🔥

🥂 Social Hour (3PM) → a new PMTP tradition: come eat, sip, mingle, and set the tone before the meeting.
📖 Meeting (4PM sharp) → expect our most powerful discussion yet, plus interactive games that’ll keep you locked in.

⚠️ RSVP is required — please only RSVP if you’re sure you can attend. Accurate numbers = better vibes for everyone.

👥 Guests are welcome (with RSVP) and have two full weeks to catch up on Parachutes before the big night.

✨ RSVP now: https://forms.gle/RyoTrLjokpE7NVmq7

Don’t just hear about it later. Be in the room. 🖤 taken in Washington, DC by @prettymindsturnpages

📚 NEW READ ALERT 🪂
We’re closing out summer with a story that feels like falling.
Our next book is Parachutes: Book One – The Fall by Takerra Allen — an emotional deep dive into first love, vulnerability, and everything in between.

✨ If you’ve been thinking about joining the book club, this is your sign.
We’re building a space rooted in positive habits, good convos, and real community. Reading isn’t just for homework — it’s how we slow down, reflect, and tap back in with ourselves.

💬 And yes — males are welcome. The room gets even richer when everyone’s voice is in the mix.

📖 We’re reading Book One only, and with two whole months to pace yourself, we’re asking everyone to actually read this one. Not a skim, not a recap — come ready to feel, reflect, and discuss. You won’t regret it.

📌 Fun Fact: Reading just 15–20 minutes a day can reduce stress, improve focus, and build self-discipline — and doing it with a group? Even better.

🗓️ Meeting Date: Saturday, September 27
⏰ Social Hour @ 3PM 📚Book Talk begins @ 4PM sharp
🎟️ Dress Code: Dress like you understand the assignment
💸 Membership meeting fee: $15
💻 Join the Discord to stay in the loop + share your reactions as you read
🔗 Book link in bio

Come for the story. Stay for the energy, the growth, and the experience. 🖤
