Hi,

Good to have you as a part of our little community of book-loving guys.

Here's a note on our vibe and some expectations that make the group feel like us:

We RSVP like grown-ups. 😌
Life happens! If you signed up for something and can’t make it, just update your RSVP.
It’s respectful to the hosts, helpful for planning, and keeps us from wondering whether to set a place for you… or call the authorities. 😂
No guilt — just clarity.

We show up with curiosity. 🔍
You don’t have to be a scholar. You don’t even have to like the book.
Just bring a spark — a thought, quote, question, or “Lord help this author.”

Everyone gets to be interesting. ⭐
We listen. We take turns.
We’re here for conversation, not monologues or energy extraction. 🧛‍♂️🚫
(If you’re unsure which one you tend toward… don’t worry, we’ll help you find your lane.) 😉

Low pressure, high engagement. 🧘‍♂️⚡
Couldn’t finish the book? Still come.
Just contribute something — a line you liked, a moment that confused you, a reaction that made you clutch your chest.

We keep it generous. 💙
Books, connection, perspective, and honest conversation are our bread and butter.
Kindness is the rule. Snark is welcome! Cruelty is not.

We’re here to read, not drain. 🔋
Everyone brings energy; no one siphons it.
A sustainable vibe is a beautiful vibe.

We celebrate the ones who participate. 🎉
You don’t have to be loud — just be present.
One thoughtful comment = gold.

Come for the book. Stay for the men. 😉👀
Not like that… unless… 👀
Kidding. (Mostly.)
But truly — we’re a mix of gay, straight, bi, trans men, and everything in between. 🌈
We honor each other. We show up for friendship and connection.

Let me know what questions you might have.

-Paul
