One novel a month, read at whatever pace suits you. We meet online on the last Thursday at 8pm, talk for about 90 minutes, and then we all go to bed at a reasonable hour. There is no homework. There is no quiz. There is only the book, and whoever turns up.
It is the sort of club where you can arrive having read every page or having read the first chapter twice — both are welcome, and both make for a better conversation.

One novel a month, chosen for us, read at whatever pace suits you. Four small steps, and then the good part: the argument.
On the first of every month the pick lands in your inbox and on the club page, with a short, spoiler-free note on why we chose it.
Members pay 20% less on the monthly pick for the whole month, so there is no rush and no reason to borrow a battered copy.
About 90 minutes on a video call, camera optional. No homework, no presentation, no one checking whether you finished.
Two or three candidates go up, the room decides, and the winner is announced on the 1st. Then the whole thing begins again.
Six dollars a month buys more than a discount. It buys a standing invitation, a shelf that keeps surprising you, and a Friday letter worth opening.
Every title we choose is discounted for members from the first of the month until the last Thursday meeting. One copy or three, the price holds all month.
When a signed copy or a first edition lands in the shop, members see it first — usually a few days before it appears on the shelves.
One short letter each Friday: what we are reading, what is arriving, and the occasional paragraph from whoever is running the next meeting.
A new page every month, designed to be printed and folded into whatever notebook you already keep. Space for quotes, notes and the argument you plan to make.
No tiers, no upgrade path, no annual commitment. One price, four perks, and a meeting on the last Thursday of every month. Cancel whenever you like — the door stays open either way.
Five things new members almost always want to know first. If yours isn’t here, write to hello@novel.lovable.wordvibe.io and a person will answer.
No. Plenty of us arrive having read half, or having read it years ago, or having given up on page forty. The conversation is the point, and the last Thursday meeting runs about 90 minutes. No homework required.
Membership is $6 a month, and you can cancel any time — no notice period, no phone call, no exit interview. That covers the discount, the Friday email and the reading journal page.
Skip a month. One click in your account and you sit that one out — you keep your membership, your discount stays on the shelf, and we see you at the next vote.
On a video call, on the last Thursday of the month at 8pm. Camera optional — a good number of us join with a cup of tea and the microphone on, and that is entirely fine.
Mostly literary fiction and translated novels, chosen by the group rather than by an algorithm. Each winter we set aside one month for crime, which is the argument everyone looks forward to.
Not sure yet? See what we’re reading now and what’s coming up next — then decide whether you want to argue about it with us.
One novel a month, one evening of good argument, and 20% off the book we're reading. That's the whole arrangement — no homework, no minimum stay. Cancel any time, in one click, and you're still welcome at the next meeting.
