It's casual! It's not your typical book club!

What Pagemasters is all about:

It's a flexible, safe space to discuss, read, and make connections. It's welcome to all readers and all books! Pagemasters meets once a month to unwind and take a break from the daily grind. Join us for good people and good books!

With the usual book clubs, there's often the scramble to finish the selected book, and the pressure to have something witty to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books and company...without the homework?
