Hutch Creates Book Club Recommendations
Hutch Creates Book Club Recommendations
By Crow & Co. Books
Hutch Creates is an unconventional approach to the book club model. Instead of focusing on a new book each month, we curate a list of titles designed to inspire our members to create and follow the whims of their inspiration. We will regularly update and adjust the list as we find new and engaging books to inspire our community. ALL books on this list are 10% off when purchased at the shop at any time!
Hutch Creates meets twice monthly, once on our project days and once for a coffee hour where we discuss works that have inspired us and what we've been working on. The coffee hour also serves as an opportunity to network about projects and events we can participate in.
