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

What we are reading...
Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller
The provocative and hilarious read that will have book lovers cheering and everyone talking! Kirsten Miller, author of The Change, brings us a bracing, wildly entertaining satire about a small Southern town, a pitched battle over banned books, and a little lending library that changes everything.

Can you please help me sign up
Hello! Did you want to sign up to receive our newsletters or receive notifications about the Edmonton Book Club events?
I am interested in trying out the June book before I sign up for the entire year’s membership, would this be possible? I have been looking for a book club forever and even tried to start one with my friends but, it didn’t go very far.
Hi Stephanie! Yes, we have a pay as you go option to try out the meetings! If you would like to receive notifications when new events are posted please join our meetup.com group: https://www.meetup.com/gloss_edmonton/
Is there a way to sign up for July?
Hi Lynn! Our July event will be posted very shortly for you to register. If you would like to receive a notification when the event is posted please join our meetup.com group https://www.meetup.com/gloss_edmonton/
Hi, I am interested in possibly joining. I was wondering what the fees were for, and are the meetings monthly? Also if I could do the pay as you go to test it out.
Thankyou for your timr,
Monica
Hi Monica, you are very welcome to join us and yes, you can use the pay as you go as often as you would like.
Regarding the fee, the Gloss began life as a tiny start-up company in London, England in 2008. Since then, step-by-step, we’ve worked incredibly hard to build up from our humble beginnings into a serious for- [small!]-profit company, which runs book clubs and connects women all over the world.
We want to continue sharing our success with many more individuals in many more cities. But like with any expanding and aspiring global enterprise, development and growth only come with investment. It is for this reason that we charge a small fee for attendance at our book clubs.
While many book clubs don’t charge to attend, The Gloss isn’t an ordinary book club – it offers our members so much more including a well-researched book list, fully planned events, great partnership perks from likeminded brands, global social networking and discussion questions, author events, and social outings.
