reading clubs

Literary discussion circles

Reading clubs are groups that meet regularly to discuss books, typically reading the same title before each gathering.

The format ranges from casual neighborhood groups to structured programs in schools and libraries.

Our reading club meets the first Thursday of every month.

Book club is more common in American usage.
