How We Came to Be - The Story Behind Chapterhouse and The Reading Ritual

Every great story begins with a moment of inspiration - and ours started, quite simply, with a love for books.

I’ve always been what people like to call a voracious reader - someone who finds comfort, excitement, and endless curiosity between the pages of a good book. Reading has always been my favorite escape, my quiet ritual at the end of a long day, and my way of reconnecting with myself.

But somewhere along the way, I realized that many of us - readers, dreamers, story-lovers - had lost touch with that feeling. The small ritual of making time to read, the anticipation of opening a new book, the joy of treating yourself to something made just for you.

That’s when the idea for Chapterhouse was born.

I wanted to create something that brought that magic back - a monthly experience designed to make people fall in love with reading all over again. And so came The Reading Ritual Box: a curated subscription for anyone who wants to slow down, take a deep breath, and rediscover the beauty of reading.

Each box is prepared with care and attention to detail, filled with bookish treasures and thoughtful items that make the simple act of reading feel special again. It’s more than just a package - it’s a monthly reminder to pause, unwind, and enjoy something just for you.

At Chapterhouse, we believe that reading isn’t just a hobby - it’s a ritual, a way to reconnect with yourself and the stories that shape you.

That’s our story. And now, we can’t wait to be part of yours.
