Hooray! We’re so glad you're here.
We want all women who participate in Well-Read Mom to enjoy our beautiful materials. When you join WRM, you’re not just purchasing a product, you’re joining and supporting a movement of women who want to read more and read well.
When Well-Read Mom began, we desired to create a place for women not to escape from family life and work but to experience a kind of leisure through friendship and literature so that women could return to their lives with a renewed vision and vigor. By reading books together, we help sustain a tradition of reading, which is a gift to our families and the world.
We hope you’ll join us!
Here's a sneak peek of three of the Year of the Seeker books:
(the full list will be available under the Booklist tab on July 17th
- The Practice of the Presence of God (Well-Read Mom edition) by Brother Lawrence
- The Ghost Keeper by Natalie Morrill
- Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot

Our Materials have copyright
All of the Well-Read Mom materials are copyrighted. We do not allow duplication or sharing of any of the materials. Well-Read Mom requires that each woman purchase her own materials, and as such we do not permit two women sharing the Reading Companion and website usernames and passwords.
Our Funds Come From Membership Fees
Membership costs less than $5 a month. Because we are funded through membership, each woman who participates needs to officially purchase a membership. The more women that register, the more the costs of running a non-profit are spread out.
