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

What we are reading...
Finding Flora by Elinor Florence is our January pick at The Gloss — a fierce, big-hearted novel to start the year with inspiration, courage, and conversation.
Set in 1905 Alberta, the story begins with Flora making a daring escape from an abusive marriage by leaping from a moving train. Determined to reclaim her life, she uses a legal loophole to secure her own homestead on the Canadian frontier. What follows is a deeply satisfying tale of resilience and reinvention as Flora builds an unexpected chosen family: a Welsh widow and her children, two American chicken-raisers, and a Métis horse breaker. Together, they learn to survive the land, protect one another, and “fire the heather” when everything they’ve fought for is at risk.
A perfect read for anyone who loves stories of frontier grit, female strength, and communities forged in unlikely places, Finding Flora offers rich themes and memorable characters that will spark a fantastic discussion.
Join us this January as chapters around the world come together to read and explore this unforgettable novel. Whether you’re brand new to The Gloss or returning for another great year of reading, we’d love to have you with us. Pick up your copy, check your local meeting date, and come meet a welcoming community of women who love great books and even better conversation.Local Chapter Information below (scroll down)

Good Morning,
I can’t make it in today, but I’d like to join this group for upcoming events.
I’d really like to attend the May event, but I’m not a member yet. Is it possible to attend to try it out?
Hi Abby! The May event was yesterday, but the next event for June should be posted soon! There is an option to pay as you go for 5$ so yes you can attend to try it out without purchasing a membership!
Hi Jessica! We meet once a month to discuss our monthly book! Each month is a different genre and our yearly members vote on our monthly book selection! Feel free to email info@theglossbookclub with any further questions!
Hi All, I just joined Gloss. Where , what day and time do you meet? I’d like to start going in January.
