Currently we meet on the last Saturday of each month at 11am ET. As the club continues to grow we'll add more date and time options to meet the needs of our members. 

What are we reading: We rotate themes/genres each month to guide book suggestions and voting.

This month's theme is: The Story Behind The Story. This month, we're diving into real-life stories and focusing on memoirs that take us beyond the public image and into the moments, lessons, challenges, and experiences that shaped the women we know today. We chose a memoir that matches our desire to have more than just a life story. We wanted something that would leave us with lessons we could carry into our own lives, and hopefully this delivers on that (while providing lots of laughs!)

A: We host our book club discussions on the Bookclubs.com app! This platform makes it easy to keep track of our reading schedule, vote on book selections, RSVP for meetings, and engage with fellow members. (You can access via web or by downloading the app)

A: No! Creating an account on the Bookclubs app is completely free. However, access to our specific club and participation in our official monthly discussions is part of a paid membership.  You will not be able to gain access to the private community without a membership. 

A: Once you decide which membership level works best for you, CLICK HERE and you will be sent to our private club on the Bookclubs app. You'll be prompted to create a free Bookclubs account (if you don’t already have one). Once your account is set up, you can pay for your membership and start engaging with the community immediately!

A: Our Facebook group is free, but participation in the official monthly book discussions and premium experiences is part of a paid membership. This helps us:

✔️ Cover costs for organizing and hosting engaging discussions
✔️ Provide exclusive perks like Wind Down Wednesday, book mail surprises, and priority event access
✔️ Ensure a dedicated, active community where members are truly invested in reading and participating

There is also a lot of admin work that goes on behind the scenes to make this space successful. Most virtual book clubs are large and less structured because smaller, more intimate discussions require additional effort and coordination. We want to offer a high-quality experience where everyone’s voice is heard, and that takes time, attention, and dedicated resources.

Additionally, when people invest in something, they take it more seriously. A paid membership ensures that our discussions are filled with engaged, committed readers who show up, participate, and contribute to the community. This isn’t just another passive online group—it’s a space where we value meaningful conversations, connection, and consistency.

At the end of the day, this is a service—one designed to give you an enriching and engaging book club experience. Your support allows us to maintain a well-run, intentional space that truly feels like a community! 💜📚

A: We have a no-refund policy. Once you pay for a month, you're locked in for that billing cycle, and we do not issue refunds for partial months or unused memberships.

You are responsible for keeping track of your recurring payment date and canceling if you no longer wish to continue. However, we’ve made canceling very easy—you simply need to leave the club via the Bookclubs app before your next billing cycle. There are no penalties, no hidden fees, and no complicated cancellation process.

We encourage you to be sure before committing, but if you ever need to step away, you’re welcome to return whenever you’re ready! 💜📚

A: While our Facebook group is a great space for casual conversations, announcements, and community engagement, the Bookclubs app provides a more organized way to manage our reading experience. It also allows members who wish to avoid social media to participate!

It allows us to:

✔️ Keep all book discussions in one place

✔️ Send reminders for meetings and events

✔️ Track our reading history and upcoming selections
✔️ Easily communicate with fellow members
