Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Queens?
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...
Story of my Life by Lucy Score
When rom-com author Hazel Hart’s marriage implodes and her publisher threatens to drop her if she misses one more deadline, she does what any self-respecting writer would do: she buys a crumbling mansion in a small Pennsylvania town she’s never visited, sight unseen.
Story Lake is not what she pictured. The house is a disaster, the locals are suspicious of city folk, and the contractor sent to fix the place, Campbell Bishop, is allergic to small talk. But something unexpected happens when Hazel trades her Upper East Side life for a town that’s seen better days: she starts writing again, the community starts to feel like home, and the grumpy contractor turns out to be more interesting than he first appears.
Lucy Score’s Story of My Life is a deeply fun, warm-hearted read about starting over, finding your people, and discovering that the best chapters of your life might begin exactly where you least expected. Perfect for anyone who has ever needed a complete reset and found one in the most unlikely place.

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/
