📚 NEW! BOOK CLUB WAITLIST

NEW! Our monthly fantasy Book Club

We are SO excited to be launching the Paper and Word book on 1st September!

Each month the Paper and Word team will choose a paperback fantasy book for you to have delivered or collect in-store. We don't limit ourselves to recent releases or traditionally publishes titles.

You can choose to join the monthly meet up in the bookshop for nibbles and drinks (spaces are limited) or online!

How our book club works

Each month the P+W team will hand pick a fantasy book for us to read together.

We'll share this with you shortly after, and then ship your Book Club package to arrive before the new month begins. In your package will be:

A paperback copy of the book
A miniature wax melt (in those book shaped boxes!)

You then have a month to read at your own pace before we meet online or in person to discuss allll of our thoughts!

You'll also get our Book Club Mail to your inbox, which includes further reading suggestions, discounts and reminders.

Book Club FAQs

WHAT BOOKS WILL WE READ

This is a fantasy book club, so we will always choose something from this genre and it's many sub-genres!

The book for the following month will be announced around the 8th (or you can leave it a surprise, if you prefer!). You can then pause/skip before your renewal on the 13th if you decide that month isn't for you, or you've already read it!

WHEN IS THE MONTHLY CUT OFF DATE

Our monthly cut-off date is the 13th. If you join before this, you'll read the next book with us.

If you join after the 13th, you will get your first Book Club package the following month.

Example:

Joining 1st-13th September - you will receive your package before the end of the month and read the October book with us.

Joining 14th-30th September - you will receive your package before the end of October and read the November book with us.

WHEN WILL I BE CHARGED

You will be charged immediately when you join the Book Club - after this you'll be charged on the 13th of each month.

If you join after the cut off date, you will still be charged immediately, but would then not be charged on the next 13th, it would be the one after.

ONLINE VS IN THE BOOKSHOP

Joining us online

We'll host a monthly meeting via Butter to discuss the book. You can join with or without your camera on and choose to participate in a way that you feel most comfortable with!

Online members get first dibs on bookshop meet-up tickets, as soon as spots free up.

Joining us in the bookshop

We'll provide some yummy snacks and drinks for the bookshop book club meet!

We have to limit the bookshop numbers due to limited space. If you wish to join in person and it's showing as full, you can join online to get first access to the next bookshop seat! If the seat is not taken by an online member, it will then be offered out to the general waitlist.
