Question 1

❓ Do I need to read the book before attending?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our first meetup will center on a selected fiction book (shared after registration), so please try to read it beforehand. Don’t worry—future books will be chosen as a group.

Question 2

❓ Is this group only for Black readers and people of colour?

Accepted Answer

Yes—this is an identity-affirming space created for Black readers and people of colour. It’s not about exclusion, but about centring stories and voices that are often overlooked. If that reflects your lived experience, you’re warmly welcome here.

Question 3

❓ Do I have to come to every session?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Join when you can. We meet once a month, and you’re welcome to attend as often or as occasionally as fits your life. There’s no pressure—just community, whenever you’re able to show up.

Question 4

❓ Where will the meetups take place?

Accepted Answer

Meetups will be held at cozy cafés or casual restaurants in NDG, Westmount, Mile End, or Verdun. The exact location will be shared with attendees after registration and may rotate each month based on group size and vibe.

Question 5

❓ Is there a cost to join?

Accepted Answer

There’s no fee to join the book club. You’ll just cover the cost of your own drink or meal if you choose to order something during the meetup.

Question 6

❓ How long do the meetups last?

Accepted Answer

Meetups run about 60 to 90 minutes. We aim to start and end on time so everyone can settle in and enjoy the full discussion. We’d love for you to stay for the whole thing if you can!

Question 7

❓ Can I bring a friend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring a friend—just be sure to reserve a spot for them when you RSVP, since space is limited to keep the group small and cozy.
