After much deliberation and discussion, the Book Club for People Who Have No Time for Book Clubs decided to have more structure and schedule. I wanted to keep our leisurely pace — a book a month is a bit too much for us all and we’d prefer to reflect  on them a little bit more.

So you’ll see our book club calendar is every SIX weeks rather than once a month like the typical book club. That means in a list of 19 books, we cover about two years. I’ve also arranged them seasonally based on the content of the book — autumn books for autumn, winter books for winter and so on.

Here’s the Book Club Calendar if you want to buy ahead:
