book club
Novel’s Book Club is an opportunity to share your love of lit with the community we've built around our little bookshop. Each month we'll be selecting a book from our drops which we'll be discussing at the events the following month.
Everyone is welcome at our events, always!
The club is not a subscription service, you opt to attend on a monthly basis, so you don't feel as though you have to commit if you're busy or not interested in our selection for that month.
You can attend by buying a ticket from our site here.
The ticket price includes:
- Purchasing the book
- Delivery costs
- A free drink at our event

How we operate:
Thinking of joining a Novel book club but want to know more about the format? 💭 This post is for you!
💖📖 How Novel book clubs work:
I give attendees 4-6 weeks before we meet from the date of our ticket sale. There is no pressure to finish the entire book, and I encourage people to still attend if they don't mind spoilers!
Roughly 3 days before we meet, I send out a list of 8 - 12 questions that we'll discuss during the event, and give everyone who is attending the opportunity to add to the question list. I am always mindful of people being nervous about contributing, so I'd emphasise that everyone is welcome at Novel's book clubs and everyone who has attended so far is lovely!
There is a 'thumbs up' system if you'd like to share with the group, I try to make sure everyone's voices are heard.
We have a 5-10 minute break 45 mins in, and then after the event is done, we usually hang about after and stay for a drink. My mission in that hour is to make things as chilled and welcoming as possible, and my hope is that everyone leaves feeling somewhat enriched by the conversation/community of bookworms/great beverages & snacks
