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

Hi there! Are you hosting a book club meet up for November or December this year?
Hi there, will there be a book club meeting this month ?
We are currently looking for a new host for the New York chapter
I see the July book has been posted. Will there be a NY meet up to discuss and if so do we have dates yet? Trying ti find a local group I can regularly join!
Hi Meghan! There should be a July event posted shortly !
Hi, I’m trying to sign up for the September book club but I only see the yearly option. How do I register for just the one class?
Hi Anisha! The New York chapter doesnt currently have any events planned. When an event is planned it will appear under “Upcoming Bookclubs” and you can click on it to register.
Hi!! so happy to join the Gloss club. Can’t wait to meet in person for November’s book!
Also was wondering why I cant join this chapter? when I click “grab your seat” it takes me to the subscription and payment page but I have already paid membership fee and confirm my registered account.
Hi Lily! We don’t have any future events posted for New York yet. When they are posted, you can register by clicking on an event under “Upcoming Bookclubs”. We are hoping to have an event posted soon!
I am new to the group and am wondering if tomorrow’s NYC meeting is still happening since it shows there’s only one guest registered?
Hi Laura! Yes, it is still happening. The meetup.com group shows only one registration because we close them on there and take registrations on our website.
Hi! I just joined and was wondering if there’s any in person New York events? Or if there’s a way to get notified if a new event is posted? I don’t see any under the ‘events’ section. Thanks!
Yes, there will be a September and October event posted shortly under “Upcoming Bookclubs”. If you would like to receive notifications when a new event is posted please join our meetup group: https://www.meetup.com/gloss_newyork/
