20–30 y/o book lovers in Pretoria - would anyone be interested in joining a small book club? 📚
Hi everyone!
I've been wanting to start a book club for a while, partly because I love reading and partly because I'd love to meet more people around my age who do too.
The idea is to create a small community (around 5-10 members) where we can read great books, have interesting conversations, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.
A few details:
📍 Area: Brooklyn (or nearby) 💸 Cost: Free 👥 Ages: Roughly 20-30 ☕ First meeting: Somewhere public (café/bookstore/etc.)
The schedule would most likely be either:
• Wednesdays: 16:30-18:00 (every second week), or
• Fridays: 18:00-20:00 (every second week)
We'll decide as a group which works best.
How it works
📖 We'll read one book each month.
Instead of randomly picking books, anyone who wants to can "pitch" a book they'd love the group to read. Give us your best sales pitch! At the end of the month we'll vote.
To keep things fair, whoever's book was chosen the previous month sits out the next round of pitching. That way everyone gets a chance to introduce the group to something they love.
We'll meet twice a month:
• Mid-month: Chat about how everyone's getting on with the book (no pressure if you're behind!).
• End of the month: Finish discussing the book, vote for the next one, and then start again.
The goal isn't to analyse literature like we're back in English class. It's just good books, good conversations, and good company.
The club is called The Reading Room.
Because I'd like to keep the group fairly small to begin with, I'll probably ask anyone who's interested to fill in a short application. Nothing intense - I just want to build a group of people who are genuinely excited to be there and who'll hopefully stick around.
