Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in San Antonio?
The concept is simple. We’re a global book club for likeminded women to discuss great books! All members of the book club read the same book over the same period; members then meet up in their respective cities at the end of each month to discuss the book and exchange views.

What we are reading...
The Favorites by Layne Fargo
She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.
Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.
As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public fascination with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.

Good Morning,
I can’t make it in today, but I’d like to join this group for upcoming events.
I’d really like to attend the May event, but I’m not a member yet. Is it possible to attend to try it out?
Hi Abby! The May event was yesterday, but the next event for June should be posted soon! There is an option to pay as you go for 5$ so yes you can attend to try it out without purchasing a membership!
Hi Jessica! We meet once a month to discuss our monthly book! Each month is a different genre and our yearly members vote on our monthly book selection! Feel free to email info@theglossbookclub with any further questions!
Hi All, I just joined Gloss. Where , what day and time do you meet? I’d like to start going in January.
