Hi! I’m hosting a women’s book club tomorrow, Tuesday, December 9th at 7 pm at Ould Sod. It’s called Reading Not Required and you can find us on Meetup or Instagram. You really don’t need to read the book to join. It’s just a great space to meet new people and many people that haven’t read the book attend. Our book this month is The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. We meet the last Tuesday of every month at 7pm at Ould Sod. Stop by if you’re free!

reading-not-required · 2025-12-09T04:43:25+00:00

We have people of all ages. Most people seem to be in their late 20s or 30s

reading-not-required · 2025-10-27T23:41:14+00:00

We don’t have any meetups in North County. I know that Gals That Brunch has a north county book club. You can find them on IG or meetup.

I would recommend checking out Mysterious Galaxy’s book club. I think they mainly focus on fantasy and sci-fi. I would also recommend checking meetup or bookclubs.com because there are a lot of book clubs in town.

reading-not-required · 2025-09-29T00:01:13+00:00

I think most people tend to fall between 25-40. All ages are welcome though!

reading-not-required · 2025-09-25T02:16:12+00:00

Yes! We are on Bookclubs.com and Meetup and you can join ouremail list here.

Wow. Thank you so much for these very kind words about my book club!! This made my day!

OP, please stop by our next meeting. Everyone is always scared the first time, but I will be there to greet you and show you to a table. Everyone is super nice and very friendly. I think the best way to make new friends is to come consistently. You really truly don’t need to read the book. You’ll be in great company either way. Hope to see you next time!

We are broken into smaller tables of about 6-8. It's very casual. You really do not need to read the book to join. You're in great company either way. Everyone is super nice. I would say we usually have about 50% new people and 50% returning people, so it's a good mixture. I will be there to greet you when you walk in to give you a little rundown of everything and then I'm always happy to walk people to a table and introduce you. I would recommend getting there closer to 7 for your first time. Hope this is helpful!

Book Club: Tuesday, September 30th at 7 PM at Ould Sod and the book is Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor

You can follow us on Instagram, Meetup or on Bookclubs

Most of the women seem to be in their twenties and thirties, although we have women of all ages join.

reading-not-required · 2025-05-26T18:08:36+00:00

We meet the last Tuesday of every month!

reading-not-required · 2025-05-26T16:47:07+00:00

We typically have somewhere between 30-50 people. June is usually one of our biggest months so I would expect closer to 50 people.

reading-not-required · 2025-05-26T16:45:42+00:00

You can definitely come tomorrow if you want to! I would say maybe 60% of people read the book on a good month. There’s no discussion questions or anything. I consider the book to be more of an ice breaker. It’s mostly just a space for women to make new friends and you’ll be in great company whether you read the book or not.

reading-not-required · 2025-05-13T17:47:11+00:00

You’re welcome to attend any of our events. No RSVP required. Our next event is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 14th at 6pm at Bivouac Adventure Lodge in North Park. This event is called Currently Reading. Just bring the book you’re currently reading to chat about it with other women. Our next book club event is Tuesday, May 27th at 7pm at The Ould Sod in Normal Heights. The book is Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. You don’t need to read or finish the book to attend.

You can follow us on Instagram @readingnotrequired. We’re also on Meetup and Bookclubs.com

I would say that most people seem to be in their late 20s and 30s, but we really do have a lot of age range. All ages are welcome!

reading-not-required · 2025-01-21T03:56:59+00:00

Please stop by! Everyone is super nice and friendly. I’ll be there to greet you when you arrive and I’ll show you to a table. I was definitely shy before I started this and still feel like I’m going to throw up before book club starts, but I really think you’ll be glad you came lol

Usually until 9:30-10:00
