What we’re about

Welcome to the Surrey Book Club! We are a very social book club and look forward meeting new members. 

The Book Club will meet at minimum once a month, usually on the first Monday of the month. Occasionally, we will have a second book or event during the month. 
The primary format will be fiction and memoirs. From time to time I will announce other formats/topics/movies/meet-ups. Members, please feel free to message me with suggestions or requests.

What you can expect when we meet up: This is a casual and social group. The month's book is discussed and reviewed with all members sharing thoughts and insights. The conversation flows naturally, and we take time to get to know each other. We typically meet at a restaurant and our group members do order food and drink. Don't worry if you haven't read or completed the book; you're still welcome to attend.

Note: There is a $3 attendance fee for each Meetup, to help cover the organizer fees. Please remit payment online to complete your RSVP. To e-transfer your event fee, please submit to surreymeetups@gmail.com. If you have any issues with completing payment, please contact the group organizer, Satbir.

How are the books selected? We welcome and support all authors. The administrators research the books online via Goodreads and other platforms before books are added to the reading list. Our criteria for adding books to the reading list include availability of the books in different formats including a physical book, e-books, audiobooks etc., and availability at various locations or online, including purchasing in-store, online or borrowing from local libraries. The group administrators will request books be added to the library, however, this process may take several months.

2024 Book Club Update:
The Surrey Book Club event list is now available from March to August reading. Please note the below updates to the group information.

Surrey Libraries:
I have checked availability at the Surrey Libraries and made a note in the Meetups, so you may anticipate how long you might be waiting for the book, in which formats and how soon you should get on the waitlist.

RSVPs are important!
RSVP as early as possible to your preferred events. For all future events, I will be closing RSVPs a few days prior to the event date each month, If nobody has signed up at least 7 days prior to the event, it will be cancelled.

Please feel free to come and enjoy the event whether you have read the book or not.

If you are unwell and/or cannot attend, keep your RSVP updated accordingly to "not attending".

Book Recommendations:
Recommendations are welcome via updating your member profile, message to the group chat, or message to the group owner.

Hosts Welcome:
I mostly post books in the genres of Historical Fiction, Biographies & Memoirs, and Mystery. If you are interested in hosting Meetups for other genres, please reach out to me.
