Welcome to The Fountain Pen Society!

Hello world (or at least the world who has stumbled onto our little corner of the world wide web)!

We are the Fountain Pen Society - three girls who formed a friendship in France over pots of tea and a shared love of good books, good company, and of course, good office supplies. If you want to find out more about our origins... check out our story here, or click the tab above.

The three girls who started this awesome society are Ellen, Zoe, and Emily. If you want to find out a little bit more about each individual (and who wouldn't?), definitely check out our own about tabs.

Right now we are still in France, wrapping up our semester. As we prepare to return to our respective colleges and lives we want to have a space to continue our friendships and share all of the beautiful things we love. The blog blossomed out of this wish.

The basic idea behind the Fountain Pen Society is a book club. Especially since our favorite café is also the most wonderful book store in Caen-- the town where we studied this semester-- and consequently where we passed most of our time outside of school.

Each month, we will be reading a new book. We'll share that book with you all and hope that you keep up with our progress. Each week one of us will post about our thoughts. There will always be a post about the book, but also expect some random life-sharing/finals-freak-outs/I-need-coffee moments throughout the life of our blog.

Finally we will share a wrap-up post summarizing the month with a discussion of the book and build off of what one another posts, opening it up to you.

We want you to become part of our group throughout all of this. Share your thoughts, your comments, and your friendship with us as we try to navigate our post-France and book-plenty worlds.
