What we’re about
Pleasanton originated book club based in Dublin, CA. Perhaps I should have waited on the name until I picked location. In 2023, I started getting back into consistent reading after years of reading drought. It was thrilling to be back in the world of literature, but I found myself reaching for the same genres over and over again. So, I searched for a book club to hold myself accountable and found nothing local. And so I created one myself :)
With this book club, I am hoping to push myself past the comfort of the familiar reads, and regain the freedom of dropping the book mid chapter, and, of course, meet some people passionate about all things books.
We hold a monthly book discussion on the second Tuesday of the month & have occasional book related events such as book swaps.
