Book 1: Molly
tags: Memoir, June 2025First Book!
We will be reading Molly by Blake Butler for the first book! So excited to read together! And to set the scene, this is a heavier book that unfortunately has a lot of cultural context (Molly also wrote a book about her upbringing, Blake has Twitter, ugh). Feel free to bring that extra context to the discussion!
Logistics Yap!
This first book was obviously not voted on, but so excited to read together and hear everyone’s thoughts! I’ll be creating a group chat over text for everyone who expressed interested in being a part of book club generally, and will be taking headcount for June over there! We can all decide on location, time, etc. for our first meeting together!
Just so you know what to expect for coming months: a little before we meet, I’ll ask folks who are interested in participating the next month to suggest a book. Then we will vote between them! Trying to keep this as democratic as possible.
First Meeting Vibes!
Please bring the best vibes—would love folks to be open to hearing each other out and not talk over each other/argue! Really an open, kind, and judgment free space with bomb snacks. If the group feels too big, and people can’t get a word in, we can break into smaller groups and come back together or something. Feel free to offer suggestions live always! I want this to be as enjoyable for people as possible.
