All booked up

online book club

A few months into the pandemic, a friend of mine said to me, “Kelsey, you should start a book club.”

Never one to turn down an invitation to bring people together around a shared love (& craving any form of connection to other humans), I started a book club! 

All Booked Up is an intimate circle of reading lovers who connect each month(ish) to review a shared read & to share current reads.

Expect your TBR list to grow exponentially.

Sharing

a love of reading

We’re passionate about sharing a love of reading, but not so passionate about reading rules! Our group is fairly informal. Our reviews consist of a feedback offering round (where each reader can offer their summary of their book experience), general questions or commentary, & then a quick rating/ranking wrap. 

Then we move into the fun part – what has everyone been reading, what is everyone reading, & what do we have on our TBR’s (you know this is where things get juicy). 

Some other fun facts about how we club:

  • Each reader contributes a book recommendation at the beginning of each session.
  • We do a random draw to select which book we begin with & then typically allocate 5-6 weeks for each book. 
  • We strive to build an inclusive reading list, including BIPOC authors, Indigenous authors, & LGBTQQIP2SAA authors.
  • We love to read a blend of fiction, non-fiction, biographies, & poetry. 
  • We meet virtually via Zoom and manage event details through the Bookclubs app
  • Virtual meetings are typically between 60 – 90 min


We understand that life gets busy & if you need to miss a month – no worries! But since it is a small group (only 8 readers), we do love when readers interested in joining All Booked Up are ready to make space for the book club! After all – sharing together is what this is all about!

All the important details

Next session begins September 2024! Exact session dates TBD based on final grouping.

Join the club

This is an intimate reading group! We like to keep it that way so we can foster quality conversation and offer everyone a chance to speak. We hold space for 8 readers.

No cost to join other than your commitment to the group to join us for the full session (September to June) and be able to read at least 75% of the books (6/8).
