FAQ:

How does this book club work?
Read as much of the book as you can prior to all of us meeting on the last Thursday of the month. If you've read 0% of the book, then you can absolutely attend - just be prepared for spoilers and a good time! When we meet on the last Thursday of the month, the two hosts will lead a discussion about the book, and we will also share ratings! Some hosts like to come with a list of questions, some go with the flow. Asking what others thought about a certain thing in the book is okay, but openly criticizing how the hosts are running the book club will not be tolerated.
Can I host?
You can host if you have attended at least one book club in-person, which will be verified against attendance records.
Why is the list limited to 15 participants?
It is limited to 15 due to limited seating at Williams (for the summer), and to ensure a smooth conversation where everyone has an opportunity to speak. We do sometimes have more than 15 signed up, as we do expect some people to have last minute conflicts.
If you find yourself on the waitlist by Wednesday, June 25th, 2025 at 7 pm, please reach out to Basma by 8 pm. Otherwise, you will be moved to "not going".
Where can I find you?
Please pay attention to the comments on the event on the day of. We are hoping to find some seats on the patio, or perhaps go to Pier 8. Regardless, we will meet at Williams first.
