The Bookclubs team is always searching for ways to bring our communities of readers together — and thanks to feedback from tens of thousands of Bookclubs users, we’re continually improving the website and app to make it happen! Join a Book Club makes it possible for any reader to find a community of readers based on interests, book genres, location, and more – and join the club with a click for free.

 

The Join a Book Club page is is a vibrant home for book lovers interested in just about any kind of club, from history buffs to poets. Whether an online book club or a local, in-person book club near you, whether big or small, led by a book influencer or run out of someone’s living room, there’s a book club for everyone - and virtually all are free to join.

 

Check out our recent refresh of the Join a Book Club page, with new features that will help you read more, connect with others, and find the perfect book club for you.

We’ve also added category and subcategory filters for public clubs! Discover book clubs by theme, genre, meeting type, and more. Explore the page here and browse hundreds of book clubs around the world reading and meeting about true crime and thrillers, self-help, parenting, BIPOC authors and experiences, and more!
