Welcome, reader. We're glad you're here!
The UBC Book Club is a vibrant and inclusive community for book lovers of all kinds. Whether you've just picked up your first book in years, or have already met your Goodreads reading goal, we're happy to have you.
How does the book club work?
Every month, our members choose a new book based on a different theme or genre, offering a fresh perspective with every book. We then host in-person discussion meetings on the last Sunday and Monday of each month to talk about the chosen book in detail. Likes, dislikes, favourite characters, twists and turns - you name it! You can also stay connected through Discord for spoiler-safe chapter chats to discuss with other members as you read.
The book club also hosts lively socials, such as book swaps, craft nights, movie screenings, and much more. Our goal is to help you find the bookish community you've always dreamed of. There is always something fun on the horizon!
The best way to start interacting with our bookish community is by joining our Discord channel! This is where we have our live read-along discussions, and where members suggest and vote on the books we will be reading for the upcoming month. Feel free to introduce yourself in the introductions channel and share your Goodreads, Storygraph, and any other social media that you would like! We also frequently post events, giveaways, and updates on our Instagram.
There are two in-person discussion meetings at the end of each month to discuss the chosen book - one on the last Sunday of the month, and one on the last Monday (subject to change based on Holidays, exam schedules, etc.). You are welcome to come to whichever meeting time works best for you. Keep your eyes peeled for in-person events, which are announced on both our Instagram and Discord, and our Newsletter.
