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

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
Annie Bot was created to be the perfect girlfriend for her human owner, Doug. Designed to satisfy his emotional and physical needs, she has dinner ready for him every night, wears the cute outfits he orders for her, and adjusts her libido to suit his moods. True, she’s not the greatest at keeping Doug’s place spotless, but she’s trying to please him. She’s trying hard.
She’s learning, too.
Doug says he loves that Annie’s artificial intelligence makes her seem more like a real woman, but the more human Annie becomes, the less perfectly she behaves. As Annie’s relationship with Doug grows more intricate and difficult, she starts to wonder whether Doug truly desires what he says he does. In such an impossible paradox, what does Annie owe herself?

Hi there. I am interested in learning more about this book club in May and wondered if it is still meeting?
Hi Megan! All Gloss chapters read the same book at the same time and meet up once a month in a centrally located venue to discuss that month’s book. Here is a list of our monthly book selections: https://theglossbookclub.com/book-store/. We are always accepting new members so you are very welcome to join us! To join a book club chapter, you can visit the webpage, and click on an event under “Upcoming Bookclubs” to register for the meeting! May’s St. Louis event should be posted very shortly!
Hi Megan,
I am the new host so I am still learning everything. We will be meeting on May 19. I just sent the email to get the event added here.
Sorry for the delay.

Are there open seats for this month?
Hi Andra, yes registration for the event has not opened yet. It will be posted under “Upcoming Bookclubs” very shortly.
I am interested in participating in a St. Louis book club, but thought they met at the Visitors Center in Forest Park monthly. Is there other info I need to discover?
