    Move over, Oprah. You’re ready to launch the reading community of your dreams! With the rise of celebrity book clubs, literary excitement, and frankly our TBRs, many of us feel the yearning to take our book love beyond our reading nooks + into a real-life cohort. Fear not, besties; Steph has you covered! Her own IRL book club—established in 2017—is still thriving (more than ever!) thanks to solid reads, consistent monthly meetings, and (gasp!) members who actually read (don’t get us wrong—we’re here for the snacks + bevs, too)! Much of this has been conquered through trial + error, though. Learning is half the fun! So pop in your pods for Steph’s top 10 tips on building a book club that suits your lifestyle, desires, and bookish ambitions. If she can do it, anyone can.
