Portsmouth NH Monthly Fiction Book Club

Join Us for Our Monthly Book Club!
We’d love for you to be part of our community of readers! Each month brings a fresh theme, engaging discussions, and plenty of fun. Whether you’re a longtime bookworm or just curious to try it out, you’re always welcome.

Location: Tina's Art Studio (170 West Rd, Ste 6d/6e. North end of the building, look for logo on the door)

Hosted by: Tina & Alina
Monthly Theme: Each month a new theme is drawn from a bag (examples: Pulitzer Prize winner, Published in 2024, etc).
Book Selection: Attendees vote on the next month’s book during the meeting.
Nominations:
Must be submitted by the Sunday before each meeting.
Only current attendees may nominate books.
All nominations are considered as long as they fit the theme and are available in e-book and Audible formats.
If there are too many nominations, the hosts will help narrow them down.
What to Expect
Guests Welcome! You don’t need to have read the book to attend your first meeting—come check out the vibe.
Food & Beverages: There's coffee, water, and snacks available at the studio. Feel free to bring your dinner to enjoy while we chat or bring a favorite goodie to share if you like. This is completely up to you - we just want you there however you can be.
Inclusive Discussions: Everyone is encouraged to join in, but there’s no pressure—share only if you’d like.
Holiday Months: The last three months of the year follow a slightly different schedule (details provided at meetings or by messaging Tina Williams).
Weather Backup: If needed, we’ll meet virtually via Google Meet.
