DBL has been on the scene for quite some time and has found loyalty in people who understand what they’re trying to achieve - which is to expand your view of literature. Here, both authors and readers are encouraged to share their views and recommendations in thorough conversational sessions. They also plan workshops for people who want to pursue the field of writing but are hesitant due to their own reservations, giving that metaphorical push to achieve their goals. Their book club discussions usually take place at a coffee shop over a warm cuppa and buttery cookies to go with it as talking fuel. So, we’ll just catch you there then?

4. The Eclectic Book Club For Women 

If you want your book club to be your safe haven, then this has to be it. The Eclectic Book Club For Women is a book club for women, by women. Members regularly engage with each other through meetups and conversations, mostly in Lajpat Nagar to talk about books while snacking on some amazing food. In the meetings, there is a controlled discussion on what the book itself brings to the table and various perspectives are shared. Additionally, you get the chance to vote for the subsequent book to be read for the club and purchase a copy of the one to be read the next month. If the books have been made into movies, they frequently host a movie screening too! Popcorn and all that. Now, what’s stopping you from giving this place a fair shot?

5. Bring Your Own Book - BYOB!

Yeh waali booze alag hai, and this book club gives a whole new meaning to BYOB. It’s partying but for readers all around and a great place to meet new people and talk about your favourite books with them through this amazing initiative taken by a volunteer-led community with chapters all over the city. Each person has the freedom to express their opinions on a book of their choice rather than sticking to one book for discussion, because why should intellect be restricted ya? The best part is that you can even exchange books with them so that your library remains up to date without ever overflowing. So, it’s beyond special.
