And that's just page one!

Anyway. I've now started reading the [quote] 'hit novel' [/] ‘Perfection’ by Vincenzo Latronico.

I'll stick any additional observations I have to this thread (as I suspect there's some, and as I suspect most people are actively not interested in my observations: please don't kick me out of the #bookclub).

#book #reading

We’re launching a #bookclub with our friends at The European Review of Books! For the inaugural edition, we’ll be reading the hit novel ‘Perfection’ by Vincenzo Latronico and discussing it in a month’s time, in our 14 May #podcast.

We suspect that a lot of you will recognise yourselves in the novel’s protagonists Anna and Tom, a couple who move to Berlin in search of a more fulfilling life, but who somehow always find themselves to be still looking for something.

More Than a Book Club: Welcome to Chapters That Connect

I’ve always loved reading but more than that, I’ve loved talking about what I read. The little moments, the lines that stay with you, the characters you can’t stop thinking about. And more often than not, I found myself wishing I had a space where I could share all of that with others who felt the same way.

That’s how Chapters That Connect came to life.

I wanted to create a cozy, low-pressure space where we don’t just read books, we connect through them. A place where you can show up as you are, read at your own pace, and still feel part of something.

🌿 What This Club Feels Like

This isn’t a “read fast, keep up, or fall behind” kind of book club.

We read one book a month, chosen together through nominations and voting. And then? We just… read. At our own pace. No pressure, no deadlines.

Some of us might finish early, some might take the whole month—and that’s completely okay.

We share thoughts as we go—favorite lines, little reactions, questions, or even just a “this part made me feel something.” And if you’re someone who prefers to quietly read along, that’s just as welcome too.

💬 Why I Think You’ll Like It

Because it’s not just about the book—it’s about the feeling of reading with people.

It’s about:

• finding readers who get excited about the same things
• having a space where your thoughts are heard
• discovering stories you might not have picked up on your own

It’s soft, it’s welcoming, and it’s meant to feel like a little corner you can come back to anytime.

🎲 What’s Coming Next

As the club grows, I’m really excited to make things more interactive .

I’ll be hosting:

• fun reading challenges
• small activities you can do while reading
• and yes… giveaways along the way

It’s still early days, so things might evolve, but that’s part of the journey—and I’d love for you to be a part of it.

What I love about it is that it still feels new and growing—like we’re building something together from the ground up. It’s simple, community-focused, and a great place to bring readers together in one space.

If you’ve been looking for a book club that feels relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely about connection—this is it.
