What we’re about
For readers of all kinds. Whether you just rediscovered you passion for reading , have been an avid reader for forever, or just starting to dip your two into reading this is the club for you. We meet the last Thursday of the month, have dinner together and discuss the book of the month. We would love for you to join us!
The purpose of this group is to bring like-minded locals together to make new friends and get to know each other. Using books to break the ice and generate discussions, gain new perspectives and commonalities is just the bonus to this group! As mentioned, the real purpose is to meet new people and establish friendships.
The genre - there's not really a genre for this club, rather, I'm basing the books on books that are highly recommended from other well established book clubs. I am reading all of the books for the first time along with all of you:) I'm expecting this to evolve as the group becomes a bit more established and we get to know one another.
The cadence / Venue - meet monthly at local establishments within St. Augustine.
What to expect at the events - introductions, icebreaker games, open discussions on the book. I'll have some discussion questions in my back pocket in case they're needed, but I'd like the group to drive the discussion organically.
Rules - Rather you're lonely, new to the area or just want to increase your social circle, THIS CLUB IS FOR YOU.
If you're looking to sell something or increase your business, find a date, bring drama, discuss politics or love committing to things you have no intentions of doing, THIS CLUB IS NOT FOR YOU.
