Book Club Baddies is a low maintenance and no pressure book club aimed towards those of us who love to read but can only seem to fit one book a month into our busy lives. We offer zoom meetings to discuss the books, but we also post discussion threads in the group if you can't make the session and still want to participate. We switch up the genre monthly and vote on which book we will be reading that month. Join our Facebook group to learn more!
