We’re just two readers who find solace in story and community.

We believe in slowing down. In stepping away from the relentless push for productivity. We believe in rest and creativity, in stillness and connection.

Most of all, we believe in the power of story to connect us—to self and to each other.

That’s why we created Bound By Story: an inclusive community rooted in books and belonging. 

From pop-up Reading in the Wild events to curated Reading Retreats, our goal is simple—to gather our people in.

Whether you’re chasing your Goodreads Challenge goals or savouring pages as the mood strikes…

Whether your shelves lean highbrow literary, heart-pounding thrillers, dark fantasy, or something with a little spice (🌶️🌶️🌶️)…

Whether you love hardcovers with sprayed edges, well-loved paperbacks, ebooks, or audio…

Whether you annotate, bookmark, dog-ear, and even if you crack the spine…

This space is for you.

We’re so glad you found us.

Let’s be bound by more than story.
Let’s be bound by care, curiosity, and connection.

Natalie & Teresa
