About Us:
On 02.11.2022 we opened an offline book club with the universal urge of readers to have a place a club of readers members to sit together and read to listen to each other read with a cup of tea.
Message from the founders:
“Isola doesn't approve of small talk and believes in breaking the ice by stomping on it.”
― Mary Ann Shaffer The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
The fictional club inspired us to find our way to creating the Pocket Diary Book Club. But we did not want a club with a book of the month.
We wanted many books many readers each with a cup of tea in hand and reading passages aloud from their books.
Reading with half a spoonful of drama please thank you!
