Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Bangkok?
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.

Grab your seat!What we are reading in May: Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting/The People on Platform 5
Every day Iona Iverson, a larger-than-life magazine advice columnist, travels the ten stops from Hampton Court to Waterloo Station by train, accompanied by her dog, Lulu. Every day she sees the same people, whom she knows only by nickname: Impossibly-Pretty-Bookworm and Terribly-Lonely-Teenager. Of course, they never speak. Seasoned commuters never do.
Then one morning, the man she calls Smart-But-Sexist-Manspreader chokes on a grape right in front of her. He’d have died were it not for the timely intervention of Sanjay, a nurse, who gives him the Heimlich maneuver. This single event starts a chain reaction, and an eclectic group of people with almost nothing in common except their commute discover that a chance encounter can blossom into much more. It turns out that talking to strangers can teach you about the world around you–and even more about yourself.
GET INVOLVED
An olive branch to start a conversation.
The Gloss is so much more than a book club, we start the conversation around books – but it always leads to deeper more meaningful connection and provides the foundation for lifelong friendships. Join us and discover a wide variety of new books, new authors, new friends and enjoy a glass of wine all at the same time. We’re delighted to welcome you into The Gloss!

Hello, I noticed that there are no Singapore events for the next couple months. Do we need a new host for the Singapore chapter?
Hi Jocelyn, We do have a new host and the event will be up in the next week or so!
Hi I’m looking for a book club, to read, talk and find myself back through my first love – reading.
This sounds like such a soul-nurturing boon club.
Are you still hosting events? I’d like to find out more.
Thanks.
Hazel
