Why join the Story Social?
The book club and community you’ve always been looking for...
We know, the subtitle is a big statement. But we’ve created the book club that we just couldn’t find… so we have a feeling you might feel the same way…
The Story Social is all about reading good books, chatting and connecting, and carving out some much-needed self care time for yourself.
A few things to note…
We only read fiction
You can’t beat a good story! We’re not going to be reading any self improvement books here. We want you to experience and enjoy the feeling of sinking into a page-turning story, completely losing yourself in the characters and the plot, without the feeling of needing to ‘gain’ anything from it. That being said, reading fiction supports us in other ways, it helps to expand your imagination, foster your creativity, cultivate curiosity, and encourage empathy and open-mindedness.
Find your new best friend
The whole ‘social’ part of the Story Social is because we want the club to be all about community. We envision bringing people together from all around the world, sparking interesting conversations and genuine, authentic connections. We’re planning future Story Social meet-ups, events, workshops and opportunities to make those connections concrete.
No exclusivity here!
Not a big reader? Not a problem. There will never be any pressure or judgement from us. The Story Social is for any level of reader and any type of reader: whether you love a gripping crime thriller, classic Victorian literature or a page-turning love story. The SS founders (us! Mollie & Jodie) each bring a completely different perspective to reading– and we feel like our dual approach makes the club feel really well-rounded and accessible.
The stuff you actually want to read
We pop a poll up on our Instagram every month, so the Story Social community can vote on our next book pick. There are always three books to choose from: one new release or trending title, one literary classic, and one random wild card choice. That way, we get to read an incredible diverse variety of books… all chosen by you.
More than just the books
Conversation. Meditation. Self care. Music. Events. We’ve set out to create an imaginative, creative, interesting online space that will hopefully expand into every corner of your life. From connecting with a new best friend across the globe to picking up an amazing gardening tip in our club chat, we want the Story Social’s little corner of the internet to feel like home.
If you’re feeling the intrigued pull to join us, sign up to the Story Social– we’d love to have you!
P.s. we’ll be sharing the poll to decide on the next book early next week! So join the chat or follow us on Instagram to get involved 🧡
