Not Your Typical Book Club In-Person
Love to read but hate assigned reading schedules? Welcome to a book club designed with your busy life in mind!
Instead of everyone reading the same single title, we gather to explore an entire genre or theme.
Here is how it works: we pick a genre/theme, you choose any book that fits (for you), and then we meet to share our thoughts, reviews, and recommendations. It is a completely low-pressure, stress-free way to discover literary gems, chat about your favorite authors, and expand your reading list.
Whether you finish a doorstop of a novel or just read a few panels of a graphic novel, your perspective is welcome. Come meet fellow book lovers and leave with a whole list of new books to check out!
Let's try this new book club for 6 months and see how it goes!
