Book clubs to join in Indore

It’s a lucky day for you, dear readers!

1. Kaffeinated Konversations (@kaffeinatedkonversations): Opened in 2016, it is a literature community, has a book club and their own book boxes. They hold a Book of The Month online session at the end of each month together with the author. To directly be able to discuss it with the author? Sounds like heaven for readers. This month the two books they have picked out are Once Upon a Curfew’ and / or ‘Lallan Sweets’. They also host silent reads, author meets and literary events, offline in the city. 

2. The Book Fairies Indore (bookfairies_indore): A worldwide famous Book Club which can be described as “Book fairies are people who, when they’ve finished reading a good book, want a unique and fun way to pass it on to the next person.

They pop an official book fairy sticker on it, which reads ‘take this book, read it & leave it for the next person to enjoy’, and they might even add a ribbon to dress it up as a gift. When they’ve prepared their gift, they will hide it in public to be found…”

The name of the book club and the work they do sounds like a fantasy and is a wonderful way to get new books and to help others read new books. Imagine getting your hands on someone’s books and there are scribbled annotations in the footnote. Feels like a personal note from a stranger. 

They not only host literary events, but also, activities like baking competitions, book swapping, giveaways, and readathons. This truly sounds like magic for readers!

3. Indore Reads (@indorereads): The oldest Book Club in Indore which holds reading sessions every Sunday in Nehru Park from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. All one needs to bring is a mat, some snacks and their book for the week. The bookclub has a whatsapp community and is great for people who want no other hassle and just want to read their book on a Sunday with their fellow readers.

4. Indore Book Club (r/Indorebookclub): This is a reddit Community of Bookworms, created on January 26, 2024. It might be a relatively new community for book readers but the idea is phenomenal. This community feels like a group of approximately five hundred friends who created a book club for the rest of the city. The people put in their ideas for book dates, book reading sessions, book events, book recommendations, book exchange and all other bookish things—both virtually and offline. This book club is ideal for those who like making new friends and are relatively more tech savvy.

6. Neighbourhood Indore (@neighbourhood.idr): A restaurant that conducts fun activities that include reading, every Sunday and Board Game meet ups every Friday. Sounds like a great deal for readers who also love trying new cuisines or want to hang out at an aesthetic restaurant or solely for the vibes. The ambience of the place and the vibes are immaculate. It’s an explosion of dark academia into a soft-core aesthetic.

7. Liceria Library (@liceria_books): Started by Dr. Amrita Singh, this book club is a library where you can rent, read and return books of all genres. Unlike a traditional book club, this is another self paced book club which conducts author meetups, book signing with a membership plan. This is also suggested for those who like reading at home or in a library setting.

8. Booksnap (@booksnapbookclub): Hosted by the quirkyreader, Muskan; this bookclub meets once a month to read books and talk over coffee. This is a relatively new Book Club which means it’s a close knit circle. People who want to start socializing and meet fellow readers, check this bookclub out. 

9. Readerscape (@readerscapeboookclub): This started back in 2021, when two dreamers decided to turn their shared interest into a Book Club. They are currently under revamp but are soon going to be on Fable and besides the virtual spoiler free book discussion every month, they also provide their readers with creative printables and digital collectibles every month to celebrate them. This is an amazing book club for the people who like to read from the comfort of their bedroom.

10. Indore Book Lover : Indore Book Lovers: As the name suggests, this book club is for book lovers, readers, writers or anyone interested in starting to read. They meet twice a month on the first and third Sunday in cafes to discuss books and have fun with other readers.
