Welcome to MyndStories
A MyndStories Experience
A monthly reading companionship
Every month, Smitha chooses a book for a feeling. It arrives at your door with a box of little goodies, and a community reading alongside you.
I have always been drawn to the power of books. Reading has always been a balm everytime my soul felt chaotic. Stories can change our world. They certainly changed mine.
That's why I choose these books. Each one is a companion for something you might be going through. I pair every book with a few things I think you'd love. These would be something warm and something sweet. I'm keeping them a surprise. I hope the box finds you at the right time.
Smitha Murthy, co-founder
How It Works
Monthly to try it. Quarterly for the full experience. Annual for the whole year.
A book chosen for a feeling, perhaps a bookmark, and a little box of goodies. Everything is meant to soothe, and every box will have something to smile at.
Join the WhatsApp group. Show up to the live Zoom. Write. Reflect. You’re reading in company now.
The Four Quarters
We announce the feeling on social media or our website two weeks before the box ships. You can tag your friends: "This is so you right now."
January to March
For the person who can't quite name what they're looking for. Who lies awake, wanting something they can't describe. This quarter holds space for that beautiful, uncomfortable feeling of being in motion.
What’s Inside
A book chosen for this feeling, a bookmark, and a curated box of goodies. Different every month, always a little surprise.
What You Get
Every box is built around a single feeling. The book sits at the center. Around it: a bookmark, and a curated box of goodies. Different every month, always a little surprise.
01
One book every month, chosen by Smitha for the season’s feeling.
02
A rotating mix of small, joyful things. They could be anything. Think beautiful bookmarks to aromatic tea candles to soothing teas. It’s different every month.
03
Opens like a hug. Wrapped with care, designed to make you grin in delight before you dig in. A small moment of joy before you even see what’s inside.
One group per quarter. Smitha posts a prompt each week for four weeks. The group closes at quarter end. Quarterly and annual plans.
45 minutes. Once per quarter. Smitha reads a passage, talks about the book, opens the floor. Quarterly and annual plans.
The writing prompt in the reading guide connects to MyndStories Writing School. For subscribers who want to go deeper.

From Our Readers
Every time I receive a book box from MyndStories, there's an instant, almost inexplicable sense of warmth. A kind of calm. A quiet feeling of home.
