Salem Thriller Book Club

📍 Meetings & Location

We meet on the first Sunday of every month at 12:00 PM at coffee shops around Salem, Oregon. If a meeting falls on a holiday weekend, we’ll meet the following Sunday instead. Check our Bookclubs calendar for upcoming meeting details and locations.

📚 Seasonal Reading Cycles

We organize our reading year into four seasons:

🍂 Fall: September–November

❄️ Winter: December–February

🌷 Spring: March–May

☀️ Summer: June–August

At the beginning of each season, everyone can recommend one book for our upcoming reading list. We’ll randomly draw recommendations and create polls so members can vote on our next group read. Everyone gets a voice in what we read!

🗣️ Book Discussions

Our meetings are a chance to share thoughts, debate theories, dissect plot twists, discover new favorites, and connect with fellow thriller lovers over coffee. All perspectives are welcome, whether you loved the ending or saw the twist coming from a mile away!

🎁 Quarterly Giveaway

At the final meeting of each season, we’ll hold a giveaway for a coffee shop or bookstore gift card. You’ll receive one entry for every meeting you attend during that season, and one winner will be randomly drawn.
