Book Clubs

Book Society Book Clubs

Book clubs are at the heart of who we are at Book Society—a meaningful way to gather, connect, and build community through a shared love of reading. Each club invites fellow book lovers to unite around a common theme, sparking conversation, connection, and discovery.

Our Clubs

Our book clubs feature facilitated conversation, thoughtfully paired wine, and a gourmet snack to match the mood. Most gatherings are hosted in-store, but a couple of our more adventurous clubs take the experience beyond our walls, exploring books out in the world.

The Traveling Book Club

Each trip is inspired by a book we read together—then we pack our bags and go! From cultural immersion to unforgettable conversation, these literary getaways offer meaningful connection with fellow readers, both on the page and across the globe.
