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.

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.

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.
