book club

Novel discussion group

A book club is a group that meets regularly to discuss books its members have read, typically one title chosen for each meeting.

Book clubs range from casual gatherings among friends to structured organizations.

The term also refers to commercial services that sell books to subscribers, often at a discount: She joined a book club and gets a new mystery every month.
