The Book Tree Read Along is an informal online book club which runs alongside our Book Bingo reading challenge. 

​

We've chosen 25 books, each to fit one of the 25 book bingo prompts, to read throughout 2023. There's a schedule to read one book each fortnight, but the forum posts will be open all year and you're free to join the discussion for as many books as you like and at a time to suit you. The schedule is helpful if you want to complete the bingo card this year, but not set in stone. If there is enough interest to hold an in-person meeting to discuss a book then we'll organise a pop-up book group meeting in the shop! We are keen to run the flexible online version either way, to keep the discussion accessible and not time-bound. 

​

The 25 books are 20% off in the shop all year, and you're also of course welcome to join in wherever your copy is sourced from. We've chosen varied books with lots to talk about, and hope you enjoy the reads! 

​

To join the discussion online you'll need to create an account on our website (you'll be prompted to do this when you follow any of the links to the forum below). Creating an account is free, you just need to provide an email address and choose a password. It is possible to add a profile image if you want to, but this is optional. Set your display name to whatever you feel comfortable sharing, whether full name, first name, or a nickname of your choice. The forum is only visible to other members. You can change your profile settings here.

 

Once your account is set up you can communicate in the forum, either by creating your own posts or by commenting on posts by others. Each of the 25 read along books has its own category page, and can be accessed via the links below. If you'd like email notifications for new posts about each book, you can follow or unfollow categories here.
