Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Brooklyn?
The concept is simple. We’re a global book club for likeminded individuals 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 April: Looking for Jane
A debut about three women whose lives are bound together by a long-lost letter, a mother’s love, and a secret network of women fighting for the right to choose—inspired by true stories.
2017: When Angela Creighton discovers a mysterious letter containing a life-shattering confession, she is determined to find the intended recipient. Her search takes her back to the 1970s when a group of daring women operated an illegal underground abortion network in Toronto known only by its whispered code name: Jane.
1971: As a teenager, Dr. Evelyn Taylor was sent to a home for “fallen” women where she was forced to give up her baby for adoption—a trauma she has never recovered from. Despite harrowing police raids and the constant threat of arrest, she joins the Jane Network as an abortion provider, determined to give other women the choice she never had.
1980: After discovering a shocking secret about her family, twenty-year-old Nancy Mitchell begins to question everything she has ever known. When she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she feels like she has no one to turn to for help. Grappling with her decision, she locates “Jane” and finds a place of her own alongside Dr. Taylor within the network’s ranks, but she can never escape the lies that haunt her.

Hi
I live on Long Island, but interested in joining the Brooklyn club!
Hello,
What days are the meeting?
Most book events I can find online seem to be on a weekday but I am only available on the weekend.
This book club sounds wonderful! How do I go about signing up?
Hi Rosana! We are currently looking for a new host for our Brooklyn Chapter. When the chapter is active again, future events will be posted under “Upcoming Bookclubs” and you can click on an event to register.
Thank you for the update, Amanda.
May I join a difference chapter as a remote member?
