About the Book Club


Everything you need to know about how the Michelle Gordon Book Club works and what to expect as a member.

"I started this community to help people slow down, switch off their phones for a while, switch on their reading lights, and enjoy 12 books a year. It is not just a book club. It is a moment of calm, delivered to your door every month."

The Online Book Club Meeting

Every month we gather online on the first Tuesday of the month at 19.00 UK time to discuss the book together, and where possible, to meet the author in person via Zoom.

Everyone is welcome, whether you have finished the book, dipped in, or haven't started yet. Our meetings are warm, relaxed and completely free to attend. All the details are shared by email and in our Facebook group.

💜 A Community for Everyone

The Michelle Gordon Book Club was born out of a deep belief that nobody should ever feel alone or left behind. During COVID, Michelle co-founded the first free online women's group, ensuring that at a time of enormous uncertainty, nobody faced it in social or financial isolation. That work was recognised with a BEM in the King's New Year Honours List 2023.

That same spirit of inclusion lives at the heart of this book club, which is completely independent and open to everyone.

Our monthly online book club meeting is free to attend. You do not need a subscription box to join us. Simply sign up to our newsletter or join our Facebook group and we will send you the Zoom details every month.

Because a good book is even better when you share it.
