Click a button on the website and you will start here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining the main group doesn’t put you in a book club, but hey: it puts you in the room! This is the front door: no book, no date, no obligation. Just the place where you get to see what we’re up to before deciding whether you want in. And well.. Trust me, you want in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything we do gets announced here first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New clubs opening, read-in dates, Book & Mingle rounds, and other event. I plan the agenda weeks ahead precisely so you can look at your own calendar before you say yes to anything. Plus… I share a monthly overview with all events so you also get a little look into what other book clubs are doing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/main>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
    \n
  1. You join the main group. That’s it, you’re in. Y<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. You watch the announcements roll in. Nobody expects you to reply. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. When a club opens, its group title says “OPEN TO JOIN”. Tap in and you’re part of that edition. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Once a club kicks off, the title changes to “CLOSED \u2013 Active” and you catch the next one. When it wraps, it turns “DONE”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    What to expect<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Announcements, dates, book covers, the occasional photo of a very good coffee. Not a group chat that pings you all day: I keep the main group for actual news. The real chatter happens inside each club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    A perfect fit for… Well, is this you?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    You are…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Curious but not ready to commit to a book yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Or you want to see the calendar before you promise anyone anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Or just want in so you can join a book club!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Perfect. Come stand in the doorway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
