Julie reads in bed during the day "I buy a Quebec book"

Do you know the event On August 12, I buy a Quebec book ? Founded by 2 authors in 2014, this event is an opportunity to get a Quebec book (or two, or three) to promote our culture. What if we took the opportunity to maximize our reading experience by purchasing Quebec items?

My 5 essentials for a day of reading

1. Comfort

Cushions are a must when it comes to reading, right? Here are some models that make you want to curl up in them.

A big cushion with glasses to play it smart comfy

To add some greenery to your reading

A cushion in honor of Eva Circé-Côté, a woman of letters

If you prefer sobriety, I recommend my favorite cushion (in velvet!): the Biosphere.

2. Hydration

We know it's important to stay hydrated and we easily forget that. Why not do it with a mug made in Quebec?

Product: Not Made in China Mug

3. The atmosphere

Darkness does not prevent me from reading! I can easily imagine this lamp hanging in my library corner. And you?

Product: Boutiterre Lamp

4. Inspiration

To take notes on your reading, to write down all the books you want to read, or to do the recommended exercises. Unless it's a notebook to write the outline of your next novel? ?

Product: SoulCurry Notebook

Product: Véronique Robidoux Art notebook

5. Most

Why not treat yourself to a nice bookmark instead of using old bills?

Product: MarieChip bookmark

Unless you prefer cats?

Product: So Meow bookmarks

And of course, an original greeting card to accompany a book you are giving as a gift.

Product: Home Flower Greeting Card

For my part, I created a lot of new needs by writing this article. It is very likely that I let myself be tempted by one of the products I told you about. Also, I will be at the Librairie Morency, in the Quebec region, to recommend books all day.
