As Managing Editor, I don’t do much newsletter writing for Book Riot outside of The Deep Dive these days. But earlier this month, I got to fill in for Erica and write for In the Club, our book club newsletter and guide to help you and your book club buds stay well-met, well-read, and well-fed.
I wrote that newsletter myself from 2018 to 2022, taking over for Book Riot alum Jenn Northington and introducing myself as “the new bouncer of this club. Get it? Because clubs have bouncers.” In my second send of the newsletter, I hit the people with a book club remix of the 50 Cent song of the same name with such brilliant lyrics as “look buddy I got the blurbs if you’re into bookish plugs, / I’m into reading ARCs from the big and the indie pubs…” I know. I’m, like, so cool.
Beyond reminding me of why I should stay far away from the rap game, getting to spend some time in my old newsletter stomping grounds made me nostalgic for book clubs. I haven’t had much time for them lately and I do really miss getting together for some good old-fashioned book chat. I’m going to make an effort to return to some kind of book club at least a couple of times this year, even if it’s just the two-person bicoastal book club I have with a friend where the structure is “pick a book, read it whenever, text about it, maybe?” Whether you’re ready to dive back into book club or you never left, here are some book club-themed gifts for you and your fellow club kids.
