What if you could spend an entire weekend doing nothing but reading, relaxing, and connecting with other book lovers? I’m talking no chores, no to-do lists, and no interruptions?

That’s exactly what Mallory Anderko dreamed up when she created Bookcation, a reading retreat that’s part cozy getaway, part book club, and part soul recharge.

In this episode, Mallory shares:

  • How a decade-long fiction drought ended with one Emily Henry novel
  • The Instagram meme that sparked the Bookcation idea
  • Her first small Airbnb retreat and what she learned
  • The leap to hosting her first public event at the Grand Geneva Resort
  • The unexpected hiccups (and hilarious moments) along the way
  • How she’s taking Bookcation national in 2026
  • Her advice for anyone ready to start their own “bookish” business

Whether you’re a lifelong reader or someone who hasn’t picked up a novel in years, Mallory’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to bring your passion to life and invite others along for the ride.
