Come for the conversation, stay for the laughter!

💬New members are always welcome.

The BHCA's monthly book club is a vibrant gathering of book enthusiasts who come together to explore the pages of diverse literary works. Each month, members engage in lively discussions, sharing their insights and interpretations of the chosen book. The club provides a welcoming space for readers to connect, learn, and broaden their perspectives through the power of storytelling. From classic novels to contemporary bestsellers, the book club offers a rich tapestry of reading experiences that inspire and ignite a passion for literature among its members.

We are currently meeting at BHUMC Wesley Hall, 317 Termino Ave - the entrance is on Mira Mar, from 6:30-8:30pm on the fourth Friday of the month.

BHCA Book Club Guidelines

We’re so glad you’re here! To keep our book club welcoming, respectful, and fun for everyone, we ask that all participants follow these simple guidelines:

• Start with connection: The first 15 minutes of each meeting are for casual socializing. Say hello, grab a seat, and catch up with your neighbors. You’re also encouraged to stick around after the discussion ends to continue the conversation and community-building.

  
  

• Let’s be respectful: Every voice matters. Please be mindful not to speak over others, and help create space for everyone to participate. If you notice someone hasn’t spoken, consider inviting them in with a question or pause.

  
  

• One voice at a time: We ask that only one person speaks at a time. Listening actively is just as important as sharing your thoughts.

  
  

• Thoughtful conversation: The moderator will offer a few discussion questions to get us started, but this is a shared space—your insights and questions help make it meaningful for everyone.

  
  

Let’s work together to make book club a space where everyone feels heard, respected, and connected. Thanks for being part of the BHCA community!
