The Best Book Clubs To Join To Keep Up Your Book Reading

Joining a book club has great benefits. It’s an intelligent community of like-minded bibliophiles dying to talk about their favorite stories.

There are various types of clubs you can join. Some have a strong social media presence and hold discussions through forums and group chats. Others require you to partake in person. Some focus on a particular genre, and others choose novels at random.

Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon is the founder and “Book-Lover-In-Chief” of this club. The stories read each month are woman-oriented.

Not only is it a book club, but it’s also partnered with brands like Buick and LavAzza. They also have a mobile app (both Android and iOS) which is the only thing needed to become a member.

RBC also has a Book Box gifting option to give your loved ones (or yourself) a good book with handpicked goodies. We highly recommend this club!

2. The Procrastinator’s Book Club

The Procrastinator’s Book Club is hosted on Goodreads. For procrastinators who can’t keep up with their reading goal, this program offers a friendly chat room where you can discuss your favorite reads with fellow bibliophiles.

Connect with like-minded people through the books discord server, and you’re set. They have featured lists as well, like, Group Reads, Buddy Reads, Tackle That TBR, and Readathons.

This is a great club to get started with if you hope to practice more reading consistency.
