When Deanna Fougere contacted my about about setting up a booth to showcase her Beautiful Words Bookmarks at the upcoming Essex County Author Show, I thought, why not? What compliments books better than bookmarks?

Looking to get more from the books that Deanna and the four other women in her book club read, and the ensuing conversation, they came up with the idea to create inspirational bookmarks that questioned and facilitated meaningful reflection and conversations about books.

Their goal: “Spark your thinking and ignite conversation using these thought-provoking questions. Beautiful Words’ mission is to help people read, reflect, and connect with the stories they read and the people around them.” 

If you’d like to see the creative bookmarks of Beautiful Words come visit Deanna Fougere at the Essex County Author Show at The City Market on Saturday, December 12th, between 10am and 3pm.
