I’m Alexandra Shelly and I’m the CEO and Founder of DogEared Book Club, a community that seeks to connect you to books, thought leaders and avid readers. I seek to create a community centered around the love of books, non-judgement/radical inclusivity of readers and authentic connection. Every month, I host a Leader Series where sit down with a leader and ask them how books have impacted their life. The leader can be anyone from an entrepreneur, CEO, artist, activist, author, you name it. For that month I share the episode, their booklist and hold a Group Leader Seminar. This is a mediated conversation between myself, the DogEared members and the leader. Truly, the mission comes to life—connecting you to fellow avid-readers and leaders. It’s almost like a networking community, but initiated through the love of books. 

In addition to the Leader series, I also hold a Bookish Series at the end of the month where I interview a bookstagrammer on niche book-pet-peeves, loves, book smells, and more. Last but not least, for my DogEared members, I have solo episodes and will be coming out with a bonus-series called The Anxious Reader, where I address niche and common reading anxieties, so very reader is welcome, loved, and seen.
