The club operates on a free membership model. We highly encourage supporting Housmans Bookshop, which generously offers a special discount on our monthly book club pick, however, we also strive to ensure accessibility. All our selected books will be curated with access on the library apps in mind, ensuring members have various ways of reading. You can buy from Housmans here and use our special code: ilovebookclub to get 20% off!
Flexibility is key for us. There are no mandatory meeting requirements, and members are encouraged to participate at their own pace. Whether you've finished the book or not, we encourage you to attend club meetings regardless.
To enhance our club engagement, we utilize the Bookclubs app for community management, polls, and meeting information. Alternatively, you can also find information about each month's pick and meeting details on our Instagram.
Meetings generally run as a book club for 1 hour (7PM-8PM) with half an hour (8PM-8:30pm) to leisurely have tea and chat while we pack down chairs. Members who need to leave at 8PM are welcome to go during this time.
