This book club is for anyone who wants to read more but struggles to find time while working or studying. Reading should be something you do for yourself — no pressure, no guilt, and definitely no judgement. Life gets busy, and that’s okay.

Every two months, you’ll receive a new reading prompt. From there, you choose your own book, any genre, any length. Whether it’s 100 pages or 1000, it’s completely up to you. The idea is to make reading feel fun and personal again, not like homework.

Instead of focusing on how “good” a book is, we’ll focus on how it made you feel. Did you enjoy it? Was it a comforting escape or a frustrating slog? Did it add something to your life or was it, frankly, a waste of a tree? All opinions are welcome.
