For a long time, I thought reading only “counted” if it was nonfiction,
self-help, award-winning literary fiction, or the classics.

Then I realized something simple.
To read is to be well read.

What you choose to read does not define your intelligence.
And ranking readers only makes more people stop reading altogether.

The Well Read Book Club was built to celebrate every kind of reader.
If you carve out time for a book, you belong here.

The Well Read Book Club

A Chicago-based book club for women who want reading to feel social, fun, and part of real life.

We meet every other month to talk about one book. There’s themed decor, guided discussion, and our signature fan-cast where we vote on who would play the characters.

If you’re not in Chicago, you can join us on the Fable app and be part of the conversation from anywhere.

We read fiction across genres. Romance. Thrillers. Literary fiction. Sci-fi. You can read a physical copy, listen to the audiobook, or borrow it from the library. However you read, you’re a reader.
