The Green Gables Package (Brighter Winter Bonus Content)

A place for kindred spirits to connect, this package of Brighter Winter bonus content, “Green Gables”, brings you face to face with other bibliophiles participating in the 2025 Brighter Winter Reading Program! Your purchase of this package gives you early digital access to the reading challenge grids, plus a seat at a special table – the ZOOM kind, where Brighter Winter paid participants can gather. 

This bonus ZOOM content will occur six times throughout January and February, and include author interviews, book club discussions, and more. If you crave face-to-face connection with other readers, these digital gatherings are sure to enrich your Brighter Winter experience! And maybe, just maybe, you’ll meet the Diana-to-your-Anne along the way.

The Green Gables Package includes:

• Printable January and February reading challenge grids
• Overview of program rules
• Explanations of each reading challenge
• Exclusive access to 6 ZOOM gatherings (live and recorded). These include author interviews with Anita Yoder and Emily Smucker; speakers on a bookish topic; and a book club gathering at the end of January and February. For book club in January we'll be reading My Antonia by Willa Cather; and in February, Made for Friendship by Drew Hunter.

NOTE: Upon checkout, you'll receive an automated email with the printable PDF of reading challenge grids. We will send a separate email with more information about the ZOOM gatherings.
