About the event

12 months, 12 genres, 12 chances to broaden your reading horizons!

Welcome to the Genre of the Month Book Club! Each month, we explore a different (sub)genre, and you choose to read any book that fits that theme--no assigned reading here! Then, join us on the second Wednesday of every month at Boxyard RTP. Grab yourself a drink or snack as we discuss what we read and the genre as a whole.

The book club meets outside, so dress for the weather! Our table is located next to RTP Uncorked and the elevator, near the dog park. If you've found a table reserved for book club, you're in the right place!
