About Globally Booked

A book club for the curious and the hungry. We read translated books from around the world, then gather at restaurants around the  Los Angeles area to explore that culture through food. Each month brings a new destination Japan, Mexico, France… guided by the stories we read. It’s all about curiosity, connection, and making reading a little more immersive (and delicious) 😋.

We’re currently organizing most of our discussions on WhatsApp and are in the process of transitioning over here.
