Read & Riff: A Book Club for Short Story Lovers

Our first Read & Riff session was a beautiful experience. We loved and hated, laughed and argued, questioned characters’ life choices but most importantly we shared ideas, stories and perspectives that left us feeling a little wise than when we arrived.

So we’re doing it again!

Read & Riff is a book club for short story lovers. We come together to share what we loved, hated, questioned and everything in between about a selected story.

Read the selected story in advance, then join Debbie (your host) who will bring questions to guide the discussion and keep the conversation flowing.

All opinions are welcome!
