How did Shelf Spiel come to be? 

Well, Krista and Anna are sisters, and Emily is their cousin. They've been reading books together since the days of library pizza and six-flags contests. 

Krista now lives in NJ, while Emily and Anna are in the Atlanta area. Growing a tight-knit relationship into one that can handle distance, adult life, and all of the in-between meant getting creative with communications. 

Emily was a notoriously bad group texter—often, the group discussion would get so far out that she would stop trying to catch up. Then, an app that allowed for video messages walked in, and just like that, the group was thriving—and mainly with Emily in tow. These three read a hearty mix of genres, but you'll not catch them discussing anything scholarly. 

This book club is geared for entertainment and allows us to focus on something other than some of the real-life pressures we all face! Happy Reading.
