About Rest, Recovery & Revival
The name Rest, Recovery & Revival reflects the stages we all pass through in life. Sometimes we pause, sometimes we rebuild, and sometimes we step forward with new energy. Books are part of each of those moments — offering escape, inspiration, and connection. That’s what this brand is about: bringing bibliophiles together through our subscription boxes, monthly book club, and our Facebook community of the same name.
About Me – Michelle Gordon BEM
I’ve always loved books and I’ve always loved people. In 2020, during COVID, I co-founded the first online Women’s Institute group, created to ensure no one was left socially or financially isolated — and it was completely free. That group paved the way for the Women’s Institute to launch paid online groups across the country, and in recognition of this work I was honoured to be included in the King’s New Year Honours list in 2022.
During this time, I also created an online book club and then turned my passion into a business — and Rest, Recovery & Revival was born. The book club now welcomes bestselling authors and continues to thrive every month. Today, RRR combines my love of books with my belief that nobody should feel isolated. Every box, every meeting, every conversation is built on that idea: connection through books, wherever you are.
