As some of you might have heard, my 2026 resolution can be summed up in four words: scroll less, read more. To that end, and in an effort to hold myself accountable, I’ve started a book club! I’m so excited. My goal is to read in community, as they say, one book a month. (I’ve already passed that marker, but more on that in a moment.)
The January selection is Virginia Evans's novel The Correspondent, a book that was given to me for Christmas by my good friend Carmela Ciuraru. (Carmela is an author herself, and her book about the dynamic between famous writers and their partners, called Lives of the Wives, is also fabulous!)
When I floated the idea of featuring Virginia's epistolary novel to my followers on Instagram, you were enthusiastic, to say the least. So, drumroll please…
The inaugural meeting of KCBC (Katie Couric Book Club) will be at 7:30 pm on Monday, January 19th!
I'll be talking to Virginia about her bestselling book, and we'll be hosting the conversation on Substack. It’s a great platform, with the quality and collaborative features that are perfect for these kinds of interactive discussions. If you have questions for Virginia, you can send them to info@katiecouric.com.
Aren’t on Substack? It's so easy to sign up — here's how to create an account:
And if you’re one of my paid Substack subscribers (let's call you "friends with benefits," get it?), you’ll be able to ask questions in real time in the comment section. There will be other fun offerings for FWB, which you’ll learn about in the future!
So…are you all in?
YAY!!
