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.
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. 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?
