Book clubs are blooming both online and in real life. Dua Lipa’s Service 95, Reese Witherspoon’s Reece’s book club and the Queen’s Reading Room provide monthly inspiration. Eventbite has reported a 350 per cent surge in book events since 2020. ‘Reading retreats’ are the latest trend in travel, and more than 60 per cent of bookshops in the UK now host book club events.
Workplace book clubs have long been a tradition, and The Independent’s review section, IndyBest, has now launched its own book club. We’re expanding it beyond the four walls of our office so readers can get involved too.
