Looking for a New Book Club to Join?
Our book club structure will be a little bit different for the second half of 2024. We’ll be running it as a block of three meetings at a time.
The cost is $150 and will include:
3 x recently released novels
3 x in-store meet ups with wine, tea or coffee.
How They Work:
- Each book club has up to 14 members and we all read the same fiction book which is chosen by the store’s book club facilitator.
- Members meet once a month at our Hampton Street store to discuss the book. A Ulysses Bookstore staff member facilitates the meeting. The meetings will start at 7pm and run for approximately an hour-and-a-half of conversation. We will initially have two groups for book club one of which will meet on a Thursday evening and the other on a Tuesday evening on different weeks.
- The first bookings in this new format will be our Winter Book Clubs (although we are starting it in July!). For the dates, see the respective booking items.
- Our first book selection for the “Winter” meetings is The Library of Heartbeats by Laura Imai Messina which is available to collect now. Book clubbers will receive their 2nd book at the July meeting and the 3rd book at the August meeting.
Please note that book club memberships are not refundable or able to be exchanged. You will still get the books for the three month period even if you are not able to or decide not to attend a meeting.
Existing book club members will get first preference to re-book for the next three months, however if you decide not to re-book we cannot hold your spot for you and it will be offered to our waiting list. If you wish to hold your spot you will need to re-book even if you are going to miss some meetings (just treat it as a book subscription for the month(s) you are away!). Space permitting, there will be the ability to attend the other book group’s meeting if it suits.
