[close] WARNING: This is not your average book club, and you will be active and more fulfilled for it! The mission of this book club is to inspire reading and the discussion of literary works by a variety of authors that engages and expands our worldview while providing an atmosphere that promotes sisterhood, unity, and community involvement. Our past selections have sparked wonderful conversations about race, mental illness, immigration, disabilities, sexuality, and much more! The cornerstone of our club is that we seek connections within the community to broaden our education surrounding the book topic. For example: • Half of a Yellow Sun- Film Screening of the movie version at Duke University’s Nasher Museum • Hidden Figures- movie version debut at Southpoint Mall AMC Theater • Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter- volunteered at NC State’s Special Olympics • Mama Namibia- “We Are Proud to Present” at UNC’s Playmakers Repertory • Crow!- Walking Tour by the Lower Cape Fear Historical Society on the 1898 Wilmington Race Massacre Those are just a few examples. There is so much more we can do with your input! Criteria to join? Be open-minded, active, and most importantly...read the books!

[close] Welcome to the Syndicate The Syndicate Book Club is an invitation only social literary group. The Syndicate is dedicated to the love of literature, writing, and community. Your lifetime membership includes automatic reservations for all gatherings, meetings, activities and special events as well as exclusive access to reading lists, social media groups and message boards.

[close] A book club for NC women who love to read! Calling all my Asheville North Carolina girlies (and surrounding areas!!) Are you a 20-something who wants friends to obsess about books with? Then you’re in the right place! Once we get enough members, we will be hosting monthly meet-up’s to discuss a book of our choice. We will vote on the book of the month as a group. Our meetups will consist of themed snacks, activities, and best of all a slideshow to rank characters from worst to best. No character arc is safe from us!!
