A Bite-Sized Book Club For the Anti-Social Age

Enjoy bi-weekly story selections in this digital newsletter-style book club.

Hey Bookworms with Social Battery Limits! 👋

Love to read but the thought of IRL book clubs makes your palms sweat? Same. That's why we're starting this email book club – a chill, no-pressure zone to geek out over amazing stories from the comfort of your couch (or bed, no judgment).


Think of it as a digital newsletter made with and for fellow introverts and socially anxious peeps. Short-attention span, too? No problem! This club will be focused on short story selections posted every two weeks, so feel free to read at your own pace, or sit one out if you're not vibing with it. Drop our thoughts, fave lines, and wild theories in the email thread and we'll feature them in future issues of the newsletter. No awkward small talk, no forced participation, just bite-sized bookish goodness. So, if you're down to discover new reads and vibe with a supportive online community without the social overwhelm, sign up via email and you're in! Let's get lit(erary)! 🔥


Sign up by emailing the word "FOURTEEN" to sdodd@nlrlibrary.org
