Published November 18, 2022

Just over four years ago The Girlfriend launched The Girlfriend Book Club, a closed Facebook group with nearly 70,000 members. These members are united by a love of all things literary, and they agree to abide by rules that foster transparent, respectful conversations, book recommendations and positive book-based connections.

Click here to join The Girlfriend Book Club on Facebook or read on to learn more.

Once a month, the members choose the next monthly book club pick. As the administrator of the group, I put up a post asking for recommendations, and I give folks 24 hours to comment. Then I place the five most popular recommendations into a poll and give members another 24 hours to vote. What could be more democratic?!

The authors of the monthly picks join us on the third Tuesday of every month from 7:30–8 p.m. ET for a live-streamed interview. Authors from Kristin Hannah to Liane Moriarty to James Patterson to Barbara Kingsolver to Delia Owens — virtually every popular author out there — have spoken live with us and answered book club member questions.

Click here to watch our video archive of author interviews.

Also, we've organized a series of in-person book swaps and happy hours — ALL FREE — in cities across the country including Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

But perhaps the best part is that we do several book giveaways every week. For example, in 2023, we gave away many thousands of books to very appreciative members of the book club.

To request to join The Girlfriend Book Club, go here. We would truly love to have you with us! You can share your love of books while making new friends!

Because everyone needs a Girlfriend™
